Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of polymers, and more particularly to a long-chain branched poly(4-methyl-1-pentene), its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) has an irreplaceable position in high-end fields such as electronic packaging, medical materials and optical materials due to its outstanding properties such as high melting point, low density, good transparency, high chemical stability and low dielectric constant.

[0003] Currently, commercially available poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) products are typically copolymers of 4-methyl-1-pentene and a small amount of α-olefins to improve the toughness of highly isotactic homopolymers. The same strategy is also common in polypropylene materials. However, while introducing comonomers can improve the toughness of polymer materials, when the comonomer content is too high, other excellent properties of the material, such as tensile strength and impact strength, are inevitably sacrificed. Introducing long-chain branched structures into polymers is another more efficient approach. Currently, the industry commonly uses post-modification and in-situ polymerization methods to prepare long-chain branched polyolefin materials. Post-modification uses free radical grafting to impart long-chain branched structures to polyolefins, but the free radical-involved reaction can cause degradation and cross-linking side reactions of polyolefins to varying degrees. In-situ polymerization directly obtains long-chain branched polyolefins through microscopic control of the chain structure during the polymerization reaction, but this places very strict requirements on the catalytic system, requiring catalysts with specific structures or multiple catalysts used in combination, resulting in high production costs. Furthermore, if an industrially mature catalytic system can be selected, long-chain branched poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) can be directly prepared by changing the process conditions during polymerization, which will have great advantages and application prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in current related technologies, this invention discloses a long-chain branched poly4-methyl-1-pentene and its preparation method. This method can directly copolymerize poly4-methyl-1-pentene with a long-chain branched structure by designing novel comonomers without increasing the difficulty of process operation.

[0005] The solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a long-chain branched poly(4-methyl-1-pentene), the general structural formula of which is shown in Formula I:

[0007]

[0008] In the formula, R is selected from C1-C8 alkyl groups, m is selected from natural numbers from 2 to 10, and n is selected from natural numbers from 0 to 50.

[0009] The structure shown in Formula I provides a rigid long carbon chain and a flexible siloxane segment, and this unique structure that combines rigidity and flexibility gives it excellent impact resistance.

[0010] Preferably, the alkyl group includes straight-chain alkyl groups and branched-chain alkyl groups.

[0011] In the structure shown in Equation I, both excessively high and excessively low values ​​of m will affect the copolymerization ability of the comonomer.

[0012] In some preferred embodiments, R is selected from C1-C6 alkyl groups;

[0013] And / or, m is a natural number selected from 4 to 10;

[0014] And / or, n is a natural number selected from l to 10.

[0015] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing long-chain branched poly(4-methyl-1-pentene), the method comprising: reacting raw materials including α,ω-nonconjugated diene and organosiloxane monomer to obtain a comonomer; and polymerizing the comonomer with 4-methyl-1-pentene to obtain long-chain branched poly(4-methyl-1-pentene).

[0016] In this invention, a siloxane monomer with a carbon-carbon double bond structure at both ends is first prepared as a comonomer through a hydrosilylation reaction between a diene and a siloxane. Then, it is polymerized with 4-methyl-1-pentene to obtain long-chain branched poly4-methyl-1-pentene.

[0017] In some embodiments, the raw materials further include solvent a and catalyst a;

[0018] Preferably, solvent a is selected from at least one of alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic alkanes having 6-10 carbon atoms; further, the alkanes include straight-chain alkanes and branched-chain alkanes;

[0022] In some implementation schemes, the polymerization reaction system also includes solvent b and catalyst b;

[0023] Preferably, the solvent b is selected from at least one of alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic alkanes having 4-10 carbon atoms; further, the alkanes include straight-chain alkanes and long-chain alkanes;

[0031] And / or, the molar ratio of the 4-methyl-1-pentene to the comonomer is 100-500:1.

[0032] To prevent the two raw materials from reacting excessively to form oligomers and to ensure that the product has a structure with two terminal double bonds, it is necessary to limit the molar ratio of α,ω-nonconjugated diene to organosiloxane monomer.

[0081] A method for preparing long-chain branched poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) includes the following steps:

[0082] A 50 mL reactor with a magnetic stirrer was subjected to three evacuation-nitrogen purging operations to fill it with an inert atmosphere. Then, 15 mL of n-heptane, 2.0 g of 4-methyl-1-pentene, 6 mg of 1,7-octadiene, 0.3 mL of triethylaluminum co-catalyst, and 6 mg of Ziegler-Natta main catalyst (Al / Ti = 100) were added sequentially.

[0083] The polymerization experimental results of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 are shown in the table.

[0084] Test case

[0085] The properties of the polymer products prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0086] The polymerization activity of the polymer is the ratio of the product mass to the catalyst mass (calculated based on the mass of Ti in the catalyst).

[0087] The comonomer content in the polymerization product was determined by high-temperature NMR spectroscopy.

[0088] The tensile strength and impact strength of the polymer products were measured in accordance with national standards.

[0089] Table 1. Properties of the polymer products prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3

[0090]

[0091]

[0092] The results in the table lead to the following conclusions: When the comonomer content is low, the polymer crystallizes well, resulting in a harder and more brittle material with slightly lower impact strength. As the comonomer content increases, the polymer crystallization is gradually disrupted, and the material's properties gradually shift towards softer and tougher materials. Therefore, increasing the comonomer content increases the impact strength. Thus, the comonomer content in this application is adjustable, making it suitable for a wider range of applications.

[0093] In addition, the polymerization activity remained at a high level throughout the preparation process of this impact-resistant poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) polymer.

[0094] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, the product of Example 1 exhibits excellent impact strength. This is because the insertion of the comonomer introduces a long-chain branched structure into the polymer, which has both rigid long carbon chains and soft siloxane segments. This unique structure, which combines rigidity and flexibility, endows it with excellent impact resistance.

[0095] Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the product of Example 1 exhibited excellent impact strength, while the product of Comparative Example 2 performed poorly. This is because the comonomer used in Example 1 lacked a long carbon chain structure, relying solely on siloxane segments to form a cross-linked structure. This structure cannot effectively form long-chain branching. More importantly, this comonomer structure exhibited poor polymerization ability, significant loss of polymerization activity, and a very low comonomer insertion rate.

[0096] Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, the impact strength of the product in Comparative Example 3 showed only a slight improvement. The difference lies in the fact that the comonomer is 1,7-octadiene, which lacks siloxane segments. This demonstrates the crucial role of flexible siloxane segments in improving impact resistance.

[0097] The above embodiments and application examples are intended to help understand the method and key points of the present invention. This specification should not be construed as limiting the invention.
