Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rubber technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing branched halogenated butyl rubber. Background Technology
[0002] Butyl rubber (IIR) is a copolymer of isobutylene and a small amount of isoprene. Due to its large methyl group in its molecular structure and the tight intermolecular arrangement, it has excellent airtightness, giving it irreplaceable advantages in tire and sealing materials. However, its poor adhesion, slow vulcanization speed, and difficulty in blending with other rubbers also limit its applications.
[0003] Halogenated butyl rubber (HIIR) is divided into two types: chlorinated butyl rubber (CIIR) and brominated butyl rubber (BIIR). They are prepared by adding chlorine or bromine to butyl rubber. HIIR not only retains the excellent properties of butyl rubber but also overcomes its shortcomings, making it suitable for applications such as the airtight layer of automotive radial tires and medical bottle stoppers.
[0004] However, it is precisely because of the close arrangement of IIR / HIIR molecules that they exhibit good damping properties, slow stress relaxation, and poor processability. Compared to linear polymers, polymers with unique three-dimensional shapes and highly branched structures have lower solution and bulk viscosity, faster stress relaxation, and insensitivity to shear. Star-branched butyl rubber / star-branched brominated butyl rubber, with its bimodal distribution, maintains raw rubber strength through branching in the high molecular weight region while simultaneously achieving rapid stress relaxation with the linear polymer in the low molecular weight region. This results in a perfect balance between the physical and mechanical properties and processability of butyl rubber. Star-branched butyl rubber can be used in inner tubes, pharmaceutical stoppers, adhesives, and sealing products, while star-branched halogenated butyl rubber is generally used in the airtight layer of tubeless tires, tire sidewalls, roofing waterproofing membranes, adhesives, and sealing materials.
[0005] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing branched halogenated butyl rubber with a bimodal molecular weight distribution and good mechanical properties such as tensile strength. Summary of the Invention
