摘要:
A process for simply and inexpensively producing a conjugated diene polymer with a narrow molecular weight distribution and a high cis-bond content at a low cost is provided. The process comprises a polymerization step, wherein a conjugated diene polymer having a cis-1,4-bond content of 98.5 mass% or more and a ratio (Mw/Mn) of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the number average molecular weight (Mn) measured by gel permeation chromatography of 2.5 or less is obtained by carrying out a polymerization reaction in conjugated diene compounds using a catalyst composition containing a rare earth element-containing compound or a reaction product of the rare earth element-containing compound with a Lewis base, an aluminoxane and/or organoaluminum compound, and an iodine-containing compound.
摘要:
A process for producing a modified polymer that exhibits low rolling resistance, excellent mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength), high wet-skid resistance, and excellent wear resistance when vulcanized, a modified polymer obtained by the process, and a rubber composition containing the same. The process includes subjecting an alkali metal active end of a conjugated diene polymer to a modification reaction with an alkoxysilane compound, the conjugated diene polymer being produced by subjecting a diene monomer or a diene monomer and a monomer other than the diene monomer to anionic polymerization in a hydrocarbon solvent using an alkali metal initiator, and subjecting the resulting product to a condensation reaction in the presence of a condensation accelerator that includes a compound of at least one element among the elements of the groups 4A (excluding Ti), 2B, 3B, and 5B of the periodic table.

摘要:
A process for producing a modified conjugated diene polymer includes subjecting an active terminal of a conjugated diene polymer having a vinyl content of less than 10% and a cis-1,4 bond content of 75% or more to a modification reaction with an alkoxysilane compound, and subjecting the alkoxysilane compound (residue) to a condensation reaction in an aqueous solution at a pH of 9 to 14 and a temperature of 85 to 180°C in the presence of a condensation accelerator including a compound containing titanium. The modified conjugated diene polymer exhibits low heat build-up and increased reinforcing properties when used for a rubber composition, and exhibits excellent wear resistance, mechanical characteristics, and processability.
