Definitions

  • the present invention is related to methods and compositions useful to improve the manufacture of copolymers of vinyl aromatic monomers such as styrene. It relates more particularly to methods of copolymerizing vinyl aromatic monomers with multifunctional initiators in the presence of diene polymers.
  • the polymerization of styrene is a very important industrial process that supplies materials used to create a wide variety of polystyrene-containing articles. This expansive use of polystyrene results from the ability to control the polymerization process. Thus, variations in the polymerization process conditions are of utmost importance since they in turn allow control over the physical properties of the resulting polymer. The resulting physical properties determine the suitability of polystyrene for a particular use. For a given product, several physical characteristics must be balanced to achieve a suitable polystyrene material.

Abstract

On a découvert, dans la présente invention, que des produits de polystyrène amélioré, tel que le polystyrène antichoc (HIPS), peuvent être obtenus en polymérisant du styrène à l’aide d'un polymère diène en présence d'au moins un initiateur multifonctionnel. La présence de l’initiateur multifonctionnel tend à créer plus de structures ramifiées dans le polystyrène. Le rapport du % de gel au % de caoutchouc (G/C ou volume en phase caoutchouc) augmente, de manière inattendue, quand l'indice de gonflement augmente, ce qui est le contraire de la tendance habituelle. En outre, des valeurs G/C acceptables peuvent être atteintes à des taux de polymérisation supérieurs grâce à ces initiateurs.
