Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polar olefin polymerization and relates to a method for obtaining copolymers and homopolymers of monomers with different polarities through a catalyst composition. Background Technology

[0002] Research on polyconjugated dienes, especially polyisoprene, has always been a hot topic and a challenge in the field of olefin polymerization. Existing research indicates that the physical properties of polyisoprene products have certain limitations, such as their relatively low glass transition temperature, with a maximum of only 40°C. o For example, its Young's modulus is very small; even isoprene of the same grade (3,4) can only reach 500 MPa. This narrows the application range of isoprene, limiting it to rubber products rather than thermoplastic materials.

[0003] Introducing polar groups into the polyisoprene chain is one method to change the properties of polyisoprene. This can be achieved by designing novel polar conjugated diene monomers and studying the homopolymerization reaction of these monomers. In addition, copolymerization of polar monomers is also an important method to change polymer properties. For example, adding polar monomers can change the surface morphology, viscosity, glass transition temperature, and sprayability of the product. Therefore, designing and synthesizing novel polar conjugated diene monomers, studying the homopolymerization of these monomers, and copolymerizing them with other polar monomers are important research directions with both theoretical and practical significance. However, the copolymerization of polar monomers currently faces the following core challenges: (1) The electronic effects and steric hindrance of polar groups significantly affect the reactivity of the monomers, leading to uneven copolymer composition; (2) Polar groups (such as ester groups and carboxyl groups) are prone to strong coordination with metal centers, leading to catalyst deactivation.

[0004] In recent years, research on the application of rare earth metal catalysts in the field of polar monomer copolymerization has continued to advance, achieving several representative results. For example, in 1993, Yasuda's group reported the successful preparation of acrylate-type block copolymers using the rare earth metal catalyst (C5Me5)2LnMe(THF) (Ln = Sm, Y). In 2010, Bernhard Rieger's group first successfully synthesized MMA / DEVP block copolymers by sequentially adding two monomers using the rare earth metal complex [Cp2YbMe]. Currently, many polar functional group-substituted conjugated olefins, such as silicon-based, cyano-based, halogen-based, and amino-based conjugated olefins, have been synthesized, but their homopolymers can only be obtained through free radical polymerization or anionic polymerization. Moreover, these polymerization methods cannot control the regio- and stereoselectivity of the reaction. In coordination polymerization, heteroatoms often readily coordinate with the central metal, thus poisoning the active material. This prevents conventional rare-earth metal catalysts from effectively catalyzing the coordination polymerization of such polar monomers, severely limiting the industrial preparation and application of polar modified polyconjugated dienes. It wasn't until 2016 that the homopolymerization of oxygen-heteroatom-substituted conjugated dienes catalyzed by rare-earth coordination compounds was reported.

[0005] As good alternatives to locene ligands, amidine and guanidine ligands have many advantages, such as the ease of introducing various substituents on C or N atoms to regulate the electronic effects or steric hindrance of the ligands, resulting in rare earth organometallic compounds with broad research prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the homopolymerization of polar conjugated diene monomers and the limited selectivity and easy deactivation of catalysts in copolymerization of polar conjugated diene monomers with polar monomers. This invention provides a method for obtaining copolymers and homopolymers of different polar monomers through a catalyst composition, a catalyst composition, and corresponding homopolymers and copolymers. This preparation method achieves high yield, high regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity in the coordination polymerization of polar monomers through a highly efficient and stable catalytic system. The method has a wide reaction temperature window, controllable polymerization process, and adjustable glass transition temperatures for both homopolymers and block copolymers. The resulting copolymers exhibit both high glass transition temperatures and high elastic moduli, demonstrating excellent mechanical properties.
