专利号:US-5359016-A 优先权日:1993-03-29 标 题 :Process for the synthesis of styrene-isoprene rubber 发明人:HSU WEN-LIANG; HALASA ADEL F; MATRANA BARRY A 权利人:GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER 摘要:The subject invention relates to a technique for synthesizing rubbery copolymers of styrene and isoprene. These rubbery copolymers exhibit an excellent combination of properties for utilization in tire tread rubber compounds. By utilizing these styrene-isoprene rubbers in tire treads, tires having improved wet skid resistance can be built without sacrificing rolling resistance or tread wear characteristics. This invention more specifically discloses a process for the synthesis of styrene-isoprene rubbers which comprises copolymerizing isoprene monomer and styrene monomer in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst system which is comprised of (a) a lithium initiator and (b) an alkyl tetrahydrofurfuryl ether modifier, wherein the molar ratio of the modifier to the lithitium initiator is within the range of 2:1 to 40:1. The subject invention further discloses a process for the synthesis of styrene-isoprene rubbers which comprises copolymerizing isoprene monomer and styrene monomer in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst system which is comprised of (a) a lithium initiator and (b) 2,2-ditetrahydrofurylpropane as a modifier, wherein the molar ratio of the modifier to the lithium initiator is within the range of 1:1 to 40:1.

These modifiers can be used to polymerize isoprene monomer into high 3,4-polyisoprene at excellent polymerization rates. This is in contrast to the modifiers such as tetramethylethylene diamine which are typically used to modify such polymerizations. This invention more specifically discloses a process for the synthesis of 3,4-polyisoprene which comprises polymerizing isoprene monomer in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst system which is comprised of (a) a lithium initiator and (b) a modifier which is an alkyltetrahydrofurfuryl ether selected from the group consisting of ethyltetrahydrofurfuryl ether, propyltetrahydrofurfuryl ether, and butyltetrahydrofurfuryl ether. In the practice of this invention, the utilization of ethyltetrahydrofurfuryl ether is highly preferred since its use results in faster polymerization rates and higher vinyl contents in the resultant polymer.

In such solution polymerization techniques, it is desirable to operate at the highest solids content which is practical. As a general rule, it is not practical to prepare such rubbers by solution polymerization at solids contents of higher than about 20 percent. However, the subject invention reveals a technique for preparing such rubbers by high solids solution polymerization at extremely high solids contents. This technique offers substantial advantages associated with eliminating large quantities of organic solvents. The subject invention more specifically relates to a process for the synthesis of polyidene rubber by continuous high solids polymerization which comprises: (1) continuously charging at least one diene monomer, at least one organolithium compound, and from about 4 to about 50 phm of at least one organic solvent into a reaction zone; (2) allowing the monomers to polymerize to a conversion of at least about 90% while utilizing conditions under which there is sufficient evaporative cooling in said reaction zone to maintain a temperature within the range of about 10° C. to about 150° C.; and (3) continuously withdrawing said polydiene rubber from the reaction zone.
