The invention discloses a terpolymer heat-resistant agent as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
high polymer material modifiers. Comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 100 parts of a
monomer, 0.1-3.0 parts of a suspending agent, 0.5-2.0 parts of an initiator and 0.1-1.0 part of a
chain transfer agent, the preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) weighing raw materials; (2) preparing a water phase; (3) preparing an organic phase; (4) suspension dispersion; (5) heating and polymerizing; and (6) post-treatment. According to the preparation method, a stable suspension
system is formed by taking water as a continuous phase and
silicon dioxide as a suspending agent, an initiator is added into an organic
monomer phase, alpha-methylstyrene
dimer is taken as a
chain transfer agent, and terpolymer beads which are controllable in particle size, good in
dispersity, high in
glass transition temperature and adjustable in molecular weight are obtained through segmented heating
polymerization. The obtained terpolymer can be used as a heat-resistant modifier of ABS, SAN, ASA, PVC and alloys thereof, the heat deformation temperature of the material is improved, the
processing fluidity is considered, and the preparation method is simple in process, low in cost, convenient in post-treatment and suitable for large-scale production.
