摘要:
PROCESS FOR THE SELECTIVE CONVERSION OF 1,3-BUTADIENE TO AMORPHOUS POLYBUTADIENE, HAVING 70-98% OF THE VINYL STRUCTURE, IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST CONSISTING OF A MIXTURE OF A MOLYBDENUM HALIDE OR OXYHALIDE WITH A MONOALKOXYDIALKYLALUMINUM COMPOUND, COMPRISING THE IMPROVEMENT OF ADDING TO THE REACTION MEDIUM AT LEAST ONE ESTER OF A CARBOXYLIC ACID. THIS ADDITION ENHANCES THE ACTIVITY OF THE CATALYST WHICH IS SOLUBLE IN THE HYDROCARBON MEDIUM AND PROVIDES FOR A MUCH EASIER AND MORE REPRODUCIBLE. POLYMERIZATION WITH A BETTER CONTROL OF THE POLYMER MOLECULAR WEIGHT AND AN EASIER PURIFICATION OF THE POLYMER.
