摘要:
A method for preparing tapered block copolymers in a polymerization process by sequentially charging: (1) an initiator and monovinylaromatic monomer in the presence of a randomizer; (2) an initiator and monovinylaromatic monomer; (3) a mixture of monovinylaromatic and conjugated diene monomers; (4) a mixture of monovinylaromatic and conjugated diene monomers; (5) conjugated diene monomer; and (6) a coupling agent; and the polymodal tapered block copolymers prepared thereby. The copolymers are particularly useful neat or in blends for applications such as packaging and food or drink containers which require transparency and good environmental stress crack resistance.
摘要:
A method for preparing resinous copolymers by sequential charge copolymerization of at least two charges, at least one being a conjugated diene and at least one being a monovinylarene; followed by a charge of a polyfunctional coupling agent; and the final charge being an essentially difunctional coupling agent. The copolymer made by this method and articles made from this copolymer are also provided.
摘要:
A method for preparing tapered block copolymers in a polymerization process by charging an initiator and monomers sequentially with one or more charges of first one of the monomers, then with a mixture of the two monomers, and then with one or more charges of the first monomer to produce a polymodal tapered block copolymer. Suitable monomers include conjugated dienes and monovinylaromatic compounds. The copolymers are particularly useful for applications requiring environmental stress crack resistance.
摘要:
A method for preparing tapered block copolymers which are particularly useful for blend components in blends with polymers of styrene. In the first embodiment of this invention the copolymers are prepared in a polymerization process by sequentially charging: (1) an initiator and monovinylaromatic monomers in the presence of a randomizer; (2) an initiator and monovinylaromatic monomers; (3) a mixture of monovinylaromatic and conjugated diene monomers; and (4) a coupling agent; to produce a polymodal tapered block copolymer. In a second embodiment of the invention tapered block copolymers are prepared in a polymerization process by sequentially charging: (1) an initiator and monovinylaromatic monomers in the presence of a randomizer; (2) an initiator and monovinylaromatic monomers; (3) a mixture of monovinylaromatic and conjugated diene monomers; (4) a mixture of monovinylaromatic and conjugated diene monomers; and (5) a coupling agent; to produce a polymodal tapered block copolymer. The invention copolymers and blends of the invention copolymers with polymers of styrene are particularly useful for applications such as packaging and food or drink containers which require transparency, low blueness, colorlessness, good impact strength and ductility.
摘要:
Hydrogenated completely random conjugated diene/monovinylarene copolymers with a conjugated diene content above about 50 weight percent, monovinylarene content below about 50 weight percent, vinyl unsaturation (normalized) at least about 25 weight percent, block polymonovinylarene below about 5 weight percent, and molecular weight M.sub.n in the range of about 30,000-200,000, are soluble in synthetic poly(.alpha.-olefin) lubricating oils providing therein effective viscosity index control, pour point, and shear loss at low concentrations.

Orthoesters are used to couple living homopolymers of monovinylarenes, and living copolymers of monovinylarenes and conjugated dienes. Novel coupled polymers are thereby produced.
