Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer materials, specifically relating to MBS, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Butadiene-methyl methacrylate-styrene (MBS) copolymer, as an excellent impact modifier, is frequently added to engineering plastics such as PC (PC / ABS), PVC, PLA, epoxy resins, PBT / PET, and PVC. Specific applications include home appliances, automobiles, medical devices, 3D printing, epoxy adhesives, and PVC sheets and pipes.

[0003] During use, the main focus is on its mechanical and optical properties. In the PC field, flame retardancy is also a concern. Because MBS contains unsaturated double bonds resulting from incomplete butadiene polymerization, it is easily oxidized, leading to a decline in performance (such as yellowing or a decrease in flame retardancy). Butadiene is also a key factor affecting mechanical properties, making it impossible to balance its mechanical and optical properties.

[0004] Currently, the optical properties of MBS are improved by adding antioxidants. Patent EP0044159 uses hindered phenols and auxiliary antioxidants to improve thermal oxidation stability. Patent US4379876A specifically mentions the use of hindered phenols and thioesters to increase thermal stability. Patents US4957954A, CN1079800C, and CN85104049A all repeatedly mention the use of antioxidants to improve thermal oxidation stability. However, excessive antioxidants can lead to a decrease in mechanical properties.

[0005] In summary, the problem of the inability to balance optical and mechanical properties in existing impact modifiers in this field urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
