Oxidative bromination of isoprenyl links of butyl rubber by the system sodium bromide-sodium hypochlorite-phosphoric acid

Results of studying kinetics of the bromination of isoprenyl links of butyl rubber by the system sodium bromide-sodium hypochlorite-phosphoric acid are presented. Reaction orders with respect to the reagents were determined, and the value of the observable activation energy was estimated.     

Bromination of butyl rubber with a sodium bromide-tert-butyl hypochlorite system

The kinetics of bromination of butyl rubber by a sodium bromide-tert-butyl hypochlorite system is studied. The orders of reaction with respect to reactants are determined, the empirical dependence of the reaction-rate constant on temperature is found, and the activation parameters of reaction are estimated. It is shown that the bromination of isoprenyl units of butyl rubber results in substitution products of a predominantly exomethylene structure that provides a high rate of rubber vulcanization by zinc oxide.

Solubility equilibria in the uric acid-sodium urate-water system

In a constant ionic medium, corresponding to a physiological environment (I_c = 0.15 mol dm⁻³ NaCl), the solubilities of anhydrous uric acid, uric acid dihydrate and monosodium urate monohydrate have been measured as a function of p[H] = −log[H⁺](2-8) and temperature (25°, 32°, 37° and 42°C). The solubility equilibria in the uric acid-sodium urate-water system are discussed on the basis of the solubility constants (K_s) and the first dissociation constant (K₁) of uric acid and the solubility product (K_s0) of monosodium urate. The quantities measured in this work are in good agreement with literature values, however, the present solubility data have a much higher precision.     

Ageing of butyl rubber against UV irradiation

The photodegradation and stabilisation of butyl rubber have been studied in air in the temperature range of 258 to 318 K using a monochromatic light of 366 nm with a constant intensity flux of 1·68×10⁻⁸ einstein s⁻¹ cm⁻² in the absence and presence of cuprous di-isopropyl dithiophosphate. Irradiations were carried out on films at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 h. An investigation into the nature and molecular changes during the irradiation with ultra-violet light (366 nm) of butyl rubber has been conducted by light scattering technique. The quantum yields of the photolysis of the polymer have been determined using a potassium ferrioxalate actinometer. Light scattering data have been processed to yield the activation energies in the absence and presence of 0·1 wt. % stabiliser. The incorporation of 0·7 wt. % cuprous di-isopropyl dithiophosphate in the matrix of the rubber film exercises the maximum protective influence on the photolytic degradation of the rubber.     

Chemical modification of butyl rubber. III. Butyl rubber with D-maltose derivative as pendant groups

A new type of amphiphilic elastomer was synthesized, which consisted of butyl rubber and a D-maltose derivative as a backbone and side groups, respectively. The synthesis was accomplished by the sequence of the three following reactions: (1) Hydroxyl groups of D-maltonolactone were protected by a trimethylsilyl group. (2) The resulting maltonolactone derivative was subjected to a reaction with chemically modified butyl rubber having pendant amino groups. (3) The protecting trimethylsilyl groups on the maltose residues were removed by treating with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride. This new amphiphilic elastomer behaved as a thermoplastic elastomer and showed good mechanical properties. The saccharide seg-ments aggregated in the hydrophobic butyl rubber matrix to form a microphase-separated structure, as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron mi-croscopy, small-angle x-ray scattering, and dynamic mechanical measurements. The ag-gregated saccharide domains are estimated to function both as crosslinking sites and rein-forcing fillers in the rubber matrix. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Chemical modification of butyl rubber. II. Structure and properties of poly(ethylene oxide)-grafted butyl rubber

Poly(ethylene oxide)-grafted butyl rubbers (IIR-g-PEOs), which were synthesized from potassium salt of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (PEGM) and chlorinated butyl rubber, were found to behave like thermoplastic elastomers. The poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) content of these amphiphilic polymers was ca. 10 wt %, and their PEO lengths were 750, 2000, and 5000, respectively. The grafted segments of PEO in butyl rubber (IIR) aggregated to form the PEO domains in IIR matrix. At constant PEO content, the longer the PEO segment length, the larger the size and the crystallinity of PEO domains became. This PEO domain worked as a cross-linking site and a reinforcing filler. The degree of swelling in water of IIR-g-PEO film that was prepared from PEGM-5000 was largest, but its emulsification ability was smallest among them. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Chemical modification of butyl rubber. I. Synthesis and properties of poly(ethylene oxide)-grafted butyl rubber

A new amphiphilic polymer, i.e., poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-grafted butyl rubber (IIR-g-PEO), was synthesized by chemical modification of chlorinated butyl rubber (CIIR). This synthesis was based on the reaction between chlorine in CIIR and potassium salt of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (PEGM). PEGM's with molecular weights of 750 and 2000 were used. The maximum grafting percent of the resulted copolymers after the purification was ca. 45%, regardless of the molecular weight of PEGM. The microphase separated structure was observed in the films of IIR-g-PEOs. IIR-g-PEO, whose PEO molecular weight was 2000 and whose PEO content was 23.8 wt %, swelled 3.1% in water, and it was six times larger than the swelling of CIIR. The hydrophilicity of grafted polymers depended on the molecular weight of PEO side chains and PEO content. Even when the PEO contents were same in the polymers which were grafted PEGM-750 and PEGM-2000, their swellings in organic solvents were not equal. It was due to the difference of the microphase-separated structures of the grafted polymers. IIR-g-PEO, whose PEO molecular weight was 750 and whose PEO content was 10.3 wt %, swelled 1.5% in water, but showed an excellent emulsifying ability, where an oil-in-water-type emulsion was formed. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Dynamic mechanical properties of chlorinated butyl rubber blends

The binary blends are prepared by chlorinated butyl rubber (CIIR) and 3,9-bis[1,1-dimethyl-2{β-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)propionyloxy}ethyl]-2, 4, 8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]-undecane (AO-80), which are investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis and thermal analysis. It is shown that CIIR/AO-80 blends clearly exhibit two kinds of relaxations, which are attributed to the relaxation of CIIR-rich matrix and AO-80-rich domains, respectively, and attenuated total reflection (ATR)-FTIR spectrum indicates that the existence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between AO-80 and CIIR. When AO-80 is replaced by petroleum resins, only one loss peak appears, and the position of it is related to the softening point and the content of the petroleum resin. In order to regulate the damping property of CIIR/petroleum resin blend, the ternary blend of CIIR/petroleum resin/AO-80/is prepared and a second peak appears at higher temperature indicating that a good damping material is obtained.     

Photoreaction of nitrobenzenes with hydrobromic acid

Nitrobenzene and three of its derivatives (3-CO₂H, 3-OH, and 4-OH) react efficiently when irradiated (λ >340 nm) in concentrated hydrobromic acid typically to give high yields of 2,4,6-tribromoanilines. The quantum yield (Φ = 0.16 for nitrobenzene) is not changed appreciably by the electron withdrawing carboxy substituent, but is lowered by the electron donating hydroxy substituent. The reactivity suggests that electron transfer from bromide ion to the n,π* triplet is the primary process.     

Synthesis of peroxide‐curable butyl rubber via suzuki–miyaura coupling of halogenated butyl rubber with 4‐vinylphenylboronic acid

The Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction of brominated butyl rubber (BIIR) and/or chlorinated butyl rubber with a mixture of 4‐vinylphenylboronic acid and phenylboronic acid was carried out in THF under various conditions using a di‐μ‐chlorobis [5‐hydroxy‐2‐[1‐(hydroxyimino‐κN)ethyl]phenylκC] palladium(II) dimer, which is a type of cyclopalladated complex, as a catalyst. When BIIR and a small amount (Pd/Br ≈ 1/1000) of complex were used as the substrate and catalyst, respectively, a 4‐vinylphenyl and phenyl group could be introduced to butyl rubber in a high yield. Isomerization of the exo carbon–carbon double bond in BIIR was observed during the coupling reaction to give a cis and trans endo structure. The peroxide curing behavior of the resulting polymer at 170 °C indicated that the polymer could be cured by dicumyl peroxide, and the maximum torque of the resulting material, which reflects the crosslink density, was controllable by the composition of the boronic acids used. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The procedure can be used for analytical as well as for synthetic purpose.

Cationic graft copolymerization of styrene onto chlorinated butyl rubber

The graft copolymerization of styrene onto chlorinated butyl rubber (Cl-IIR) with stannic chloride as cationic catalyst was studied in cyclohexane, and the rate of polymerization, per cent grafting and grafting efficiency were obtained. Polymerization was carried out in a sealed tube. The product was precipitated in methanol and dried. The increase in weight of Cl-IIR used was regarded as styrene conversion, and the increase in weight after extraction by boiling acetone as the weight of grafted styrene. Grafting was confirmed by fractional dissolution and infrared spectra. The rate of polymerization of styrene was proportional to concentrations of styrene, Cl-IIR and SnCl₄. The per cent grafting increased with styrene and SnCl₄ concentration, but was constant with Cl-IIR concentration. It also increased with time and with halogen content in the polymer. The addition of a polar solvent such as nitrobenzene greatly promoted the grafting reaction and the per cent grafting was 200%.     

The possibility of using radiation-reclaimed butyl rubber in the building industry

Studies are performed to demonstrate the possibility of the valuable replacement of butyl rubber by a radiation-induced degradation product for the production of different waterproofing and roofing materials in the building industry. The efficiency of using nitroso compounds, such as p-dinitrobenzene and quinol ether, as vulcanizing agents is investigated. It is shown that a reclaimed product obtained at an irradiation dose of 20 Mrad may be used as an efficient adhesive additive. The addition of such a reclaimed product to a solution-born mastic in an amount of 30 mass parts per 100 mass parts of rubber substantially enhances the adhesion to concrete, steel, polyethylene, etc. other properties remaining unchanged.
