    摘要: A radial multi-block copolymer composition comprising a polystyrene block A1, a hard block A2 comprising another type of monovinylarene monomer, two soft blocks B, and B2 of conjugated diene monomer and a coupling agent, the composition of the radial multi-block copolymer having the structure (B1A1A2B2)nZ, where the weight percent of n=5+ is greater than about 40 and Z is a residue of the coupling agent. A process comprising (a) anionically polymerizing styrene monomer Al, at least one monovinylarene monomer A2 other than styrene, and at least one conjugated diene monomer B1 to form multi-block copolymer chains having the structure (B1A1A2), wherein the amount of monovinylarene monomer A2 is from about 0.5 wt % to about 80 wt % of the total amount to form a hard block A1A2; (b) anionically polymerizing at least one conjugated diene monomer to form copolymer chains having a soft block B2 and a polydienyllithium carbanion at the end of the copolymer chains; (c) adding a metal alkyl coupling promoter, preferably triethylaluminum, after initiating anionic polymerization and before reaching a peak reaction temperature; and (d) mixing in a coupling agent to form a copolymer having a residue (Z) of the coupling agent, wherein the copolymer is a radial multi-block copolymer having the structure (B1A1A2B2)nZ, and wherein the weight percent of n=5+ is greater than about 40. The radial multi-block copolymer has application in pressure-sensitive adhesives, engineering plastics, and polymer-modified asphalts with good control of viscosity and without yellowness.
