摘要:
Block copolymers useful in formulations of adhesives, coatings, and lubricating oils have a particular structure comprising blocks of a polymerized alkenyl aromatic compound such as styrene, an internal block of a polymerized conjugated alkadiene such as butadiene, as well as selectively hydrogenated derivatives thereof, and a polar block of a polymerized alkyl methacrylate such as t-butyl methacrylate.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel compositions comprising (a) anionic block copolymers having at least two blocks of a mono alkenyl arene and at least one block of a conjugated diene and mono alkenyl arene having a specific arrangement of the monomers in the copolymer block, and (b) tailored softening modifiers have a particular structure that results in a surprising improvement in properties for the composition. Also included are processes for the manufacturing such novel compositions and various end-uses and applications for such compositions.
摘要:
The present invention is a novel block copolymer containing a controlled distribution copolymer block of a conjugated diene and a mono alkenyl arene, where the controlled distribution copolymer block has terminal regions that are rich in conjugated diene units and a center region that is rich in mono alkenyl arene units. Also disclosed is a method for manufacture of the block copolymer.
摘要:
Hydrogenated butadiene polymers having terminal functional groups have minimum viscosity at any molecular weight when the 1,2-addition is between 30% and 70%. Hydrogenated butadiene polymers having about two terminal hydroxyl groups per molecule have surprisingly lower viscosities at 30% to 70% 1,2-addition than similar polymers having either higher or lower amounts of 1,2-addition. The polymers are useful in making coatings, sealants, binders, and block copolymers with polyesters, polyamides, and polycarbonates.

The anionic polymerization of unsaturated monomers with functionalized initiators having the structure R.sup.1 R.sup.2 R.sup.3 Si--O--A'--Li is improved by selecting A' from the structures --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- (1,3-propyl), --CH.sub.2 --CH(CH.sub.3)--CH.sub.2 -- (2-methyl-1,3-propyl), --CH.sub.2 --C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propyl), or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --(1,8-octyl). This narrow class of polymerization initiators operate at surprisingly higher polymerization temperatures with surprisingly lower amounts of dead initiator than similar initiators wherein A' is --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --(1,4-butyl), --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --(1,5-pentyl), or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --(1,6-hexyl).
摘要:
Blends of a sulfonated thermoplastic block polymer and a compatible extender oil are described. The block copolymer is first selectively hydrogenated and thereafter modified by grafting sulfonic acid containing functional groups primarily in the alkenyl arene blocks. Neutralization of the acid groups to a metal salt is preferred to prepare oil extended blends that retain substantial amounts of non-extended mechanical properties.
摘要:
Living anionic polymers of unsaturated monomers are conveniently capped with oxetane or an alkyl substituted oxetane to provide terminal primary hydroxyl groups. The hydroxyl capped polymers are useful in making coatings, sealants, binders, and block copolymers with polyesters, polyamides, and polycarbonates.
摘要:
The anionic polymerization of unsaturated monomers with functionalized initiators having the structure R.sup.1 R.sup.2 R.sup.3 Si--O--A'--Li is improved when each R is methyl and A' is --CH.sub.2 --C.sub.6 H.sub.10 --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.sub.2 --CR'R"--CH.sub.2 -- wherein R' is a linear alkyl having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms and R" is hydrogen or a linear alkyl having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms. This initiator provides process and product advantages over all other known initiators of the same type.
