AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a catalyst for polymerizing conjugated diene that can produce a polymer with a high content of cis-1,4-structures and high activity. It also provides a modified conjugated diene polymer and a rubber composition for tires that have excellent fatigue resistance, durability, reduced energy loss, and can be used for a crawler and a rubber belt.

Problems solved by technology

Among the catalysts described in Patent Literatures 1 to 3, however, ones showing their effects in Examples are mainly neodymium-based catalysts, and gadolinium compounds have not yet been made clear.
In addition, the catalysts described in Patent Literatures 4 to 6 have defects that they have low catalytic activities of at most 540 g / mmol-Gd / hr.
However, rubbers having a high rebound resilience such as a polybutadiene rubber (BR) are likely to have a lower wet skid resistance; whereas a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) has a defect in which the wet skid resistance is high, but the rolling resistance is also high.
In order to solve the problems described above, various methods in which a low cis-diene-based rubber is chemically modified with a modifier in the presence of a lithium catalyst have been proposed, but the low cis-BR has an insufficient abrasion resistance, and this problem cannot be solved even by the modification.
In addition, the SBR also has a low rebound resilience, and this defect cannot be solved even after the modification.
In order to increase the hardness, tensile stress, breakage strength, abrasion resistance, and the like, however, if the amount is increased by addition of an inorganic reinforcing agent such as carbon black, then dynamic heat generation is increased, and a problem in which the weight saving is not attained is raised because of an increased specific gravity of the formulation.
The rubber composition described in Patent Literature 8 has a problem in which the composition cannot necessarily obtain sufficient effects in the tensile stress and the elongation fatigue resistance, because microfine dispersion of 1,2-polybutadiene short fiber crystals in the butadiene rubber, which is a matrix component, is insufficient.
However, a method for producing VCR using a gadolinium catalyst has not yet been reported.

example 1

[0202]An inside of an autoclave with an inner capacity of 1.5 L was substituted by nitrogen, and a solution including 245 ml of a cyclohexane solvent and 250 ml of butadiene was filled therein. Subsequently, 1.5 ml of a cyclohexane solution (2 mol / L) of triethyl aluminum (TEAL) was added thereto. Next, 1.35 ml of a toluene solution (0.003 mol / L) of tris(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)gadolinium (Gd(dpm)3), followed by 2.0 ml of a toluene solution (0.004 mol / L) of triphenylcarbenium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate were added. After a polymerization was performed at 40° C. for 25 minutes, 3 ml of an ethanol solution containing an antioxidant was added to stop the polymerization. The inside pressure of the autoclave was released, and then ethanol was poured into the polymerization solution to recover polybutadiene. Then, the recovered polybutadiene was dried in vacuo at 80° C. for 3 hours. The polymerization results are shown in Table 1.
