  • Publication number: 20250011515
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of adjusting the molecular weight of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene prepared using an iron-based catalyst. In the present application, when an iron-based catalyst catalyzes the polymerization of butadiene to prepare syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene, alpha-olefins are added as a molecular weight regulator, and a chain transfer effect is achieved through competitive adsorption. At the same time, since alpha-olefins are stable to iron-based catalysts, cannot be initiated to polymerize, and are easy to separate from butadiene, they have a significant effect on molecular weight regulation and do not have a significant effect on activity, making it possible to prepare syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene thermoplastic elastomers with number average molecular weights ranging from 3,000-250,000. The syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene rubber prepared by the present application has better processability.

  • Publication number: 20230303736
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a preparation method of a homogeneous rare earth catalyst. In the present disclosure, a depolymerizing agent is introduced into the homogeneous rare earth catalyst to promote complete depolymerization of an alkyl aluminum trimer into monomolecular alkyl aluminum. As a result, there is an increase in the number of the alkyl aluminum which serves as an effective chain transfer agent, resulting in a greatly improved chain transfer rate, such that a polymerization system has completed the chain transfer in an early stage of the reaction. Accordingly, an aluminum terminal molecular chain has an increased concentration, leading to an accelerated exchange with an active center propagating chain and a decreased influence caused by an increased viscosity of the system, maintaining living polymerization of the system.
