The invention discloses a preparation method of a star-shaped multi-arm HSD
viscosity index improver with a core-shell structure, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing a non-polar
hydrocarbon solvent,
isoprene and butadiene, adding a polarity
regulator, heating, adding an
alkyl lithium initiator, and reacting to obtain a
polymer shell; then adding a
mixed solution of
styrene, a
coupling agent and a
solvent at one time, and continuously reacting to obtain a star-shaped multi-arm
polymer with a core-shell structure; the star-shaped multi-arm
polymer with the core-shell structure is directly transferred to a hydrogenation kettle,
alcohol termination is not needed, then a hydrogenation catalyst is added, heating is performed,
hydrogen is introduced for a
hydrogenation reaction, catalyst
metal ions are removed, a solution is flocculated and dried, and the star-shaped multi-arm HSD
viscosity index improver with the core-shell structure is obtained. According to the star-shaped multi-arm HSD
viscosity index improver with the core-shell structure, on the premise that the shearing stability of an oil product is kept, the oil product has higher thickening capacity, and the development requirements of high-end oil products and long-life oil products are met.
