[0037] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described in more detail below. However, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments or examples described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments or examples is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the present application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments or examples only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application. As used herein, the term "and / or", which can optionally be used in various places in this document, includes any suitable combination of one or more of the associated listed items, including combinations that contain only a single one of the associated listed items.

[0039] The present application provides a preparation method of butadiene rubber alloy, comprising the following steps:

[0040] S1, coupling rare earth butadiene rubber and nickel butadiene rubber to obtain composite butadiene rubber, wherein the mass of the rare earth butadiene rubber is greater than the mass of the nickel butadiene rubber, and the Mooney viscosity of the composite butadiene rubber is 35MU-55MU, and the branching factor is 3.0-7.1;

[0041] S2, preparing syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene in situ in the composite butadiene rubber glue solution to obtain a polymerization glue solution;

[0042] S3, coagulating and drying the polymerization glue solution to obtain butadiene rubber alloy.

[0043] The rare earth butadiene rubber has excellent wear resistance, wet skid resistance, low heat accumulation, low rolling resistance and high bending fatigue resistance, but the pure rare earth butadiene rubber has poor cold flow resistance and poor processing performance, and the tensile strength, tear strength and modulus of its sulfide and the resistance to bending crack propagation are relatively low. Therefore, in the present application, the rare earth butadiene rubber is used as the main component, and the nickel butadiene rubber is used as the auxiliary component for coupling. The prepared composite butadiene rubber not only has the excellent performance of the rare earth butadiene rubber, but also has the easy processing performance, extrusion performance and good cold flow resistance of the nickel butadiene rubber, that is, it has both mechanical properties and processing performance. The problem of sudden increase in Mooney viscosity caused by the introduction of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene (sPB) can be effectively avoided. The prepared rubber alloy has excellent wet skid resistance, tensile strength and tear strength, and also has good processing performance and cold flow resistance.

[0044] Further, the control of the Mooney viscosity of the composite cis-butadiene rubber to be 35MU-55MU and the branching factor to be 3.0-7.1 can not only further improve the processing performance and mechanical properties of the rubber alloy, but also be more conducive to the uniform dispersion of the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene in the composite cis-butadiene rubber, further enhance the interaction between the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene and the composite cis-butadiene rubber, and better improve the reinforcing effect, thereby further improving the tensile strength, tear strength and modulus of the cis-butadiene rubber alloy and the resistance to bending crack propagation.

[0045] Therefore, the cis-butadiene rubber alloy prepared by the preparation method has excellent wet skid resistance, tensile strength and tear strength, good processing performance and cold flow resistance, thereby improving the bending fatigue resistance, flex resistance, crack resistance and weather resistance of the vulcanizate, and further better meeting the requirements of the tire on high strength and high modulus.

[0046] In addition, the viscosity of the composite cis-butadiene rubber solution in the present application is relatively low, and the in-situ introduction of the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene is more conducive to the dispersion of the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene in the composite cis-butadiene rubber, thereby further improving the reinforcing effect and better avoiding the problems of high internal friction, high heat generation and poor aging performance caused by the traditional process (increasing the modulus of the tire side by adding inorganic fillers or increasing the crosslinking degree).

[0047] It should be noted that the rare earth cis-butadiene rubber in the present application refers to linear rare earth cis-butadiene rubber unless otherwise specified. Meanwhile, in the present application, the coupling of the rare earth cis-butadiene rubber and the nickel-based cis-butadiene rubber to obtain the composite cis-butadiene rubber can improve the compatibility between the rare earth cis-butadiene rubber and the nickel-based cis-butadiene rubber, better control the viscosity of the composite cis-butadiene rubber, thereby endowing the cis-butadiene rubber alloy with easy processing characteristics; meanwhile, the molecular chains of the rare earth cis-butadiene rubber and the nickel-based cis-butadiene rubber are connected in a covalent bond manner, and an integral body with a branched structure is formed between the molecular chains, thereby endowing the composite cis-butadiene rubber with excellent wet skid resistance, and improving the tensile strength, elongation at break and modulus of the rubber compound; in addition, the branched structure is more conducive to the interface contact between the rubber phase and the plastic phase sPB, so that the sPB is more uniformly distributed, thereby improving the processing performance of the rubber compound, the mechanical properties and the heat build-up resistance.

[0048] In step S1, the rare earth cis-butadiene rubber, the nickel-based cis-butadiene rubber, the coupling agent and the organic solvent are mixed and coupled to obtain the composite cis-butadiene rubber.

[0049] Specifically, the rare earth butadiene rubber and the nickel butadiene rubber are dissolved in an organic solvent, then a coupling agent is added, followed by filtration to remove impurities, to obtain the composite butadiene rubber. In this process, the rare earth butadiene rubber and the nickel butadiene rubber are connected together by covalent bonds through the addition of the coupling agent, so that the linear rare earth butadiene rubber has a long-chain branched structure.

[0050] Optionally, the mass ratio of the rare earth butadiene rubber to the nickel butadiene rubber is 4:1-19:1. In this way, the synergistic effect of the excellent properties of the rare earth butadiene rubber and the nickel butadiene rubber can be better exerted, and the relationship between the mechanical properties and the processing properties of the composite butadiene rubber can be better balanced, further improving the mechanical properties and the processing properties of the composite butadiene rubber.

[0051] Optionally, the mass ratio of the rare earth butadiene rubber to the coupling agent is 125:1-1000:1.

[0053] In an embodiment, the organic solvent is selected from at least one of n-hexane, cyclohexane, cyclopentane, and n-heptane.

[0054] Optionally, the rare earth butadiene rubber has a Mooney viscosity of 30MU-50MU, a branching factor of 1.5-2.0, a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 8.0 kg / mol-10.0 kg / mol, a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 16.0 kg / mol-30.0 kg / mol, a molecular weight distribution (PDI) of 2.0-3.0, and a mass fraction of cis-1,4-structure in the rare earth butadiene rubber greater than or equal to 98%.

[0055] Optionally, the nickel-based cis-butadiene rubber has a Mooney viscosity of 30 MU-50 MU, a branching factor of 15-20, a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 7.0 kg / mol-9.5 kg / mol, a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 21.5 kg / mol-34.2 kg / mol, a molecular weight distribution (PDI) of 3.2-3.6, and a mass fraction of cis-1,4-structure in the nickel-based cis-butadiene rubber greater than 96%.

[0056] In the present application, by controlling the performance parameters of the rare earth cis-butadiene rubber and the nickel-based cis-butadiene rubber, the performance of the composite cis-butadiene rubber can be better controlled, and the mechanical properties and processing properties of the composite cis-butadiene rubber are further improved.

[0057] Optionally, the composite cis-butadiene rubber has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 7.8 kg / mol-9.6 kg / mol, a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 22.0 kg / mol-31.7 kg / mol, a molecular weight distribution (PDI) of 2.8-3.3, and a mass fraction of cis-1,4-structure in the composite cis-butadiene rubber greater than or equal to 96%, preferably 96%-98%. In this way, the composite cis-butadiene rubber has better processing properties and mechanical properties, and the viscosity of the glue solution is further reduced, the compatibility with syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene is further improved, and the reinforcing effect is further improved.

[0058] Optionally, the rare earth cis-butadiene rubber is selected from neodymium-based cis-butadiene rubber, and the neodymium-based cis-butadiene rubber is selected from branched neodymium-based cis-butadiene rubber. In this way, the composite cis-butadiene rubber has excellent mechanical properties, and its processing properties are further improved, so that the prepared cis-butadiene alloy has better mechanical properties and processing properties.

[0059] In step S2, the composite cis-butadiene rubber glue solution can be obtained in the following two ways:

[0060] The first way is to directly use the glue solution obtained in the preparation of the composite cis-butadiene rubber in step S1 as the composite cis-butadiene glue solution.

[0061] The second way is to dissolve the composite cis-butadiene rubber obtained in step S1 in an organic solvent to obtain a composite cis-butadiene rubber glue solution, wherein the organic solvent is selected from at least one of n-hexane, cyclohexane, cyclopentane, and n-heptane.

[0062] Considering that the impurity components in the glue solution obtained in the preparation of the composite cis-butadiene rubber in step S1 may affect the subsequent in-situ polymerization reaction, the second way is preferred in the present application.

[0063] In step S2, the composite cis-butadiene rubber glue solution and the butadiene monomer solution are mixed and subjected to in-situ polymerization in the presence of an iron-based catalyst or a cobalt-based catalyst.

[0064] Specifically, the complex butadiene rubber glue solution and the butadiene monomer solution are mixed uniformly, and then the iron-based catalyst or the cobalt-based catalyst is added to mix and initiate the polymerization reaction in situ to obtain a polymerized glue solution.

[0065] Optionally, the molar ratio of the complex butadiene rubber in the complex butadiene rubber glue solution to the butadiene monomer in the butadiene monomer solution is 3:2-19:1. In this way, the performance parameters such as the Mooney viscosity, the branching degree, and the molecular weight distribution of the butadiene rubber alloy can be better controlled, and the mechanical properties and the processing properties of the butadiene rubber alloy can be better improved.

[0066] Optionally, the polymerization temperature is 30-50℃, and the polymerization time is 30-60min. In this way, the polymerization reaction between the components can be fully carried out.

[0067] It can be understood that the catalyst system for the polymerization reaction of the complex butadiene rubber and the butadiene monomer in the present application can be an iron-based catalyst or a cobalt-based catalyst. The present application preferably uses a cobalt-based catalyst, which can effectively reduce the polymerization time and requires a low polymerization temperature, thereby being beneficial to energy saving and consumption reduction in production.

[0068] Specifically, when the iron-based catalyst is used, the molar ratio of the butadiene monomer in the butadiene monomer solution to the iron element in the iron-based catalyst is 5000:1-40000:1. In this way, the in-situ polymerization reaction efficiency can be better promoted.

[0069] The iron-based catalyst includes an iron compound, a phosphine-containing compound, and an alkyl aluminum, wherein the molar ratio of the iron compound, the phosphine-containing compound, and the alkyl aluminum is 1:3:10-1:20:50. In this way, the catalytic efficiency can be improved.

[0073] When the cobalt-based catalyst is used, the molar ratio of the butadiene monomer in the butadiene monomer solution to the cobalt element in the cobalt-based catalyst is 5000:1-40000:1. In this way, the polymerization rate is improved, the polymerization time is reduced, and the polymerization temperature is lower, which is beneficial to reduce energy consumption.

[0074] The cobalt-based catalyst comprises a soluble cobalt compound, alkyl aluminum and carbon disulfide, wherein the molar ratio of the soluble cobalt compound, the alkyl aluminum and the carbon disulfide is 1:10:2-1:100:20. In this way, the catalytic activity can be improved, and the catalytic efficiency can be better improved.

[0075] Further, the soluble cobalt compound is selected from organic acid cobalt, and the organic acid cobalt is selected from at least one of isooctanoic acid cobalt, naphthenic acid cobalt, neodecanoic acid cobalt, stearic acid cobalt, preferably isooctanoic acid cobalt.

[0077] In the present application, before the polymerization glue solution is coagulated, that is, after the in-situ polymerization reaction is completed, a terminating agent is added to the polymerization glue solution to terminate the reaction, wherein the terminating agent is an antioxidant / ethanol solution, and the antioxidant is selected from at least one of antioxidant 1076, antioxidant 1520, antioxidant B7802 and antioxidant 264.

[0078] Specifically, in step S3, the antioxidant solution is added to the polymerization glue solution to terminate the reaction, and then ethanol or water is added for coagulation, and then the mixture is placed in a vacuum drying box for drying to obtain the butadiene rubber alloy.

[0079] Meanwhile, the present application also provides a butadiene rubber alloy prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method of butadiene rubber alloy, which comprises a composite butadiene rubber and a syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene dispersed in the composite butadiene rubber.

[0081] Therefore, the butadiene rubber alloy has excellent wet skid resistance, tensile strength and tear strength, good processing performance and cold flow resistance, and can better meet the requirements of high strength and high modulus of the tire.

[0082] In addition, the application further provides a use of the butadiene rubber alloy in a tire.

[0083] Specifically, the butadiene rubber alloy of the application is mixed with polyisoprene rubber to be used as the sidewall rubber of the tire, and is used in the preparation of the sidewall of the tire.
