[0151] The preparation of the polymer systems of the present invention generally and preferably comprises the following steps:
[0152] Step 1: Polymer Synthesis
[0153] The polymer is prepared by forming a solution of one or more anionically polymerizable monomers dissolved in a solvent, and initiating polymerization of the monomers with an alkyllithium initiator.
[0154] The copolymer preferably comprises:
[0155] -99.8 to 30% by weight of diene-derived units,
[0156] - 0 to 60% by weight of units derived from monovinylaromatic hydrocarbons, and
[0157] -0.5 to 2% by weight of units derived from styrene derivatives according to the invention.
[0158] The copolymers described according to the invention generally have a 1,2-microstructure content in the range of 5% to 100%, preferably 10% to 90%, most preferably 20% to 80%, based on the diene content.
[0159] In order to obtain a random structure of the copolymer and / or increase the vinyl structure content, especial...
Embodiment 1
[0172] Embodiment 1 (comparative example)
[0173] Cyclohexane (820 g) was added to the inertized 2 liter reactor followed by styrene (31 g) and 1,3-butadiene (117 g). Removal of inhibitors from styrene and 1,3-butadiene. Next, tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA, 2.21 mmol) was added, providing random incorporation of styrene monomer and increasing the vinyl content of the butadiene units. The solution inside the reactor was heated to 60°C and stirred continuously throughout the process. When the desired temperature was reached, n-butyllithium (0.045 mmol) was added to perform quenching of residual impurities. Then, n-butyllithium (0.845 mmol) was added to initiate the polymerization process. The reaction proceeded as an isothermal process for 60 minutes. After this, silicon tetrachloride (5.25×10 -5 mol) was added to the polymer solution as a coupling agent. Coupling was performed for 5 minutes. The solution was quenched with isopropanol (1 mmol) purged with nitrogen an...
Embodiment 2
[0174] Example 2 (Styrene Derivatives as Comonomers)
[0175]Cyclohexane (820 g) was added to an inertized 2 liter reactor followed by styrene (31 g), N-(dimethyl(vinylbenzyl)silyl) of formula (4) and (5) -N,N-Bis(trimethylsilyl)amine 50 / 50 (by weight) isomer mixture (0.6 g), and 1,3-butadiene (117 g). Removal of inhibitors from styrene and 1,3-butadiene. Next, 2,2-bis(2-tetrahydrofuryl)propane (DTHFP, 2.52 mmol) was added, providing random incorporation of styrene monomer and increasing the vinyl content of the butadiene units. The solution inside the reactor was heated to 60°C and stirred continuously throughout the process. When the desired temperature was reached, n-butyllithium (0.045 mmol) was added to perform quenching of residual impurities. Then, n-butyllithium (0.84 mmol) was added to initiate the polymerization process. The reaction was performed as an isothermal process for 60 minutes. After this, silicon tetrachloride (6.30×10 -5 mol) was added to the polyme...
