    摘要: A process for producing an unsaturated isoolefin copolymer involves: sonicating a solution of an initiator system in an organic solvent, the initiator system comprising a Lewis acid catalyst and a proton source, to produce a sonicated initiator solution, the sonicating performed at an energy input of 100 J/mL or greater, based on volume of the initiator solution; and then, contacting the sonicated initiator solution with a reaction mixture of at least one isoolefin monomer and at least one copolymerizable unsaturated monomer in an organic diluent to produce the unsaturated isoolefin copolymer. Sonication of the initiator solution improves catalyst activity, thereby improving conversion of the monomers during production of the unsaturated isoolefin copolymer.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a preparation method of a homogeneous rare earth catalyst. In the present disclosure, a depolymerizing agent is introduced into the homogeneous rare earth catalyst to promote complete depolymerization of an alkyl aluminum trimer into monomolecular alkyl aluminum. As a result, there is an increase in the number of the alkyl aluminum which serves as an effective chain transfer agent, resulting in a greatly improved chain transfer rate, such that a polymerization system has completed the chain transfer in an early stage of the reaction. Accordingly, an aluminum terminal molecular chain has an increased concentration, leading to an accelerated exchange with an active center propagating chain and a decreased influence caused by an increased viscosity of the system, maintaining living polymerization of the system.
