Syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene with Co-CS2 catalyst system. I. Preparation,properties, and application of highly crystalline syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene

Highly crystalline syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene (s-PB) having melting point (mp) up to 216°C was obtained by using a Co(acac)₃-AIEt₃-CS₂ catalyst. The polymer with mp 208°C was found to have 99.7% 1,2 content and 99.6% syndiotacticity by ¹H and ¹³C-NMR measurements. The s-PB can be molded by addition of a stabilizer such as 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxymethylphenol into fiber, film, and various shaped articles. The physical properties presented in the present article include stress-strain and dynamic mechanical behavior. The highly crystalline syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene was applied to a carbon fiber and UBEPOL VCR (cis-1,4-polybutadiene reinforced by fibrous syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene).     

Arylamino-derivatives of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene

The chemical modification of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene via interaction of the polymer with aromatic amines in the presence of sodium tetrachloroaluminate Na[AlCl₄] has been studied. With the use of IR and NMR spectroscopy data, the structure of the modified 1,2-polydiene has been examined.     

Hydrochlorinated derivatives of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene

Chlorine-containing polymeric products with a degree of functionalization of up to 70% are synthesized through the hydrochlorination of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene via carbon-carbon double bonds. The introduction of chlorine atoms into polydiene units causes substantial changes in the viscosity of polymer solutions, the flowability of the polymer melt, the glass-transition and flow temperatures, and the thermal stability of polymers. The hydrochlorinated derivatives of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene demonstrate good adhesion with respect to steel and can be used in adhesive compositions.     

Radiation-Induced Addition Reaction of Ethyl Mercaptan and Carbon Tetrachloride to 1,2-Polybutadiene

γ-Ray-induced addition reactions of syndiotactic 1,2-polybuta-diene film with various compounds were carried out at room temperature. The weight of the film markedly increased when ethyl mercaptan was used. In the reaction with ethyl mercaptan, only addition took place without crosslinking. The addition of ethyl mercaptan to the vinyl group of syndiotactic 1,2-poly-butadiene followed anti-Markownikoff rule, and gave a 1:1 addition product. The rate of addition increased as the crys-tallinity of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene used became lower. A similar relation between the crystallinity and the rate of addition was also observed in the γ-ray-induced addition of carbon tetrachloride to syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene, but at the same time gelation was pronounced. When liquid 1,2-polybutadiene was used instead of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene, gelation which made the polymer insoluble in carbon tetrachloride did not take place, although a crosslinking reaction was noted. The appearance of the product in this case changed from a viscous liquid to a white powder as the reaction proceeded. The addition of carbon tetrachloride to the vinyl group of liquid 1,2-polybutadiene was also of the anti-Markownikoff type. This addition was accompanied by unexpectedly large vinyl consumption. The total decrease in vinyl group was found to be much larger than the decrease in vinyl group which was brought about by the addition of carbon tetrachloride. This discrepancy was attributed to cyclization and crosslinking reactions which were ascribed to the vinyl group bound by the main chain.     

Radiation-induced addition reaction of carbon tetrachloride onto 1,2-polybutadiene

The γ-ray-induced addition reaction of carbon tetrachloride onto syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene film and liquid 1,2-polybutadiene was carried out at room temperature. In the film gelation was pronounced and the rate of addition increased as the crystallinity of the polymer decreased. In the liquid gelation, which makes the polymer insoluble in carbon tetrachloride, did not take place, although a definite crosslinking reaction was noticed. In this case the appearance of the product changed from a viscous liquid to a white powder as the reaction proceeded. Its structure was compared with that of chlorinated 1,2-polybutadiene. The addition of carbon tetrachloride to the vinyl group in liquid 1,2-polybutadiene caused an anti-Markownikoff-type reaction and was accompanied by an unexpectedly large vinyl depletion in the polymer. The total decrease in the vinyl group was found to be much larger than that brought about by the addition of carbon tetrachloride. This discrepancy was attributed to a cyclization and crosslinking reaction ascribed to the vinyl group bound by the main chain. Cyclization and crosslinking were less noticeable in the chlorination than in the carbon tetrachloride.

Introduction of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene in combination with a plasticizing additive noticeably improves the main service properties of asphalts.     

Chlorine derivatives of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene

It is shown that chlorine-containing polymeric products may be produced on the basis of the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene by incorporating chlorine atoms into macromolecules via double carbon-carbon bonds. The functionalization of the polydiene with halogen atoms markedly changes the viscosity of solutions, flowability of the melt, and thermal stability of polymeric products. Chlorine derivatives of the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene may be used as high-molecular-mass modifiers improving rheological properties of polymeric compounds in poly(vinyl chloride)-based polymeric composites.

The incorporation of dichlorocyclopropane groups into units of polydiene substantially changes its molecular mass and polydispersity, the solution viscosity, the polymer melt flowability, and the glass-transition temperature and flow temperature of the polymer.

Epoxidation of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene with peracids

The epoxidation of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene (84 and 16% 1,2 and 1,4 units, respectively) with carboxylic peracids prepared in situ and m-chloroperbenzoic acid was studied. In the course of epoxidation in the presence of carboxylic peracids, oxirane groups are formed only through epoxidation of double bonds in the macromolecular backbone, whereas m-chloroperbenzoic acid is responsible for the chemical modification of 1,2 and 1,4 units of polybutadiene. The basic kinetic parameters of 1,2-polybutadiene epoxidation with peracids of various chemical structures were determined.

A comparative analysis of physicochemical properties of the starting compounds and their functionalized products was performed.

Comparative evaluation of the heat resistance of the halogenated polymers under consideration was made.     

Blends of Polypropylene and Syndiotactic 1,2-Polybutadiene:Morphology,Crystallization Behaviors and Mechanical Properties

Morphologies,crystallization behavior and mechanical properties of polypropylene（PP）/syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene（s-1,2 PB）blends were investigated.Morphology observation shows the well dispersed domains of s-1,2 PB in PP matrix with the rather small domain sizes from 0.1 to 0.5μm when the s-1,2 PB content increases from 5%to 20%（mass fraction）in the blends,and the phase structure tends to become co-continuous as s-1,2 PB content further increases.Crystallization temperature（Tc）of PP component in the blends is fluctuated with the variation of s-1,2 PB content in the blends.Compatibilization,to some extent,between the two components is inferred from the examination of both morphology and crystallization behavior.Improvement of impact strength of PP toughened by s-1,2 PB becomes significant only in the case of s-1,2 PB content above 20%（mass fraction）.

不同1,2-含量无规聚丁二烯的研究表明,与侧链乙烯基相比,主链双键更易于发生热氧化反应,这可能因其含有较多的α-氢。根据热氧化温度和动力学参数活化能E,钴系高1,2-含量间规聚丁二烯比之钼(或锂)系聚丁二烯更为稳定,前者E值高达150kJ/mol以上,后者为100kJ/mol左右。热交联表观活化能分别为181、166kJ/mol。它们热氧化稳定性的差别,是由于通常钴系聚合物为晶态,锂(或钼)系为非晶态。     

Study on the chain conformation of polymers.: II. Conformational characteristics of 1,2-polybutadiene and its characteristic ratio

In this work, improvement was made for conformational analysis of 1,2-polybutadiene by means of the molecular mechanics force field program (MM2). Thus the first and the second order interaction energies obtained are much more reasonable. The characteristic ratio of isotactic 1,2-polybutadiene was emphasized properly, which varied with energy E (E = E_η + E_ω″). In the same time, the characteristic ratios for isotactic chain of polystyrene and so on were noticed, which varied with energy E according to the same way as that for isotactic 1,2-polybutadiene. It is shown that there is a general rule or a common feature for isotactic chains of poly -α-olefine and vinyl polymer.
