Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel tetrablock copolymer and to compositions containing such tetrablock copolymer. More particularly the tetrablock copolymer is a selectively hydrogenated SBSB block copolymer having a particular molecular weight distribution and microstructure, resulting in a polymer having a unique set of property advantages. Also claimed are blends of the tetrablock copolymer and other constituents including styrene polymers, olef polymers and tackifying resins.
- tetrablock copolymers having the structure ABAB or BABA, where the A block is a styrene block and the B block is a conjugated diene block, typically either an isoprene block or a butadiene block. These polymers in turn have sometimes been hydrogenated.
- Such tetrablock copolymers are disclosed in a variety of patents, including U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,874,821; 5,378,760; 5,492,967; 5,549,964; 5,554,697; 6,106,011; and 6,239,218.
- block copolymers and tetrablock copolymers are in fibers and films. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,549,964 and 5,705,556.
- breaks are a common problem for highly elastic rubber compounds.
- Many of the existing block copolymers and formulations based on such block copolymers continue to have problems with breaks. What is needed is a polymer and compound that possesses enhanced strength to produce tougher films and fibers that are much less likely to break during processing.
- highly elastic compounds have a tendency to orient during injection molding in long or complex molds. This orientation leads to warpage and non- uniform shrinkage during de-molding or heating.
- the inventors have discovered a linear hydrogenated block copolymer possessing a unique balance of properties.
- a linear hydrogenated block copolymer consisting of four alternating blocks having the block arrangement of A ⁇ -B ⁇ -A 2 -B 2 wherein: a. the two polymer blocks Bi and B 2 comprise hydrogenated butadiene monomer units in which at least 90% of the olefinically unsaturated double bonds contained in the unhydrogenated polymer block are hydrogenated, and in which the unhydrogenated polymer block have a 1,2-vinyl bond content of greater than 25% and less than 60%; b. the two polymer blocks Ai and A 2 comprise mono alkenyl arene monomer units; c.
- the number average molecular weights of the blocks are between 6,000 and 8,000 for the Si block, between 55,000 and 70,000 for the Bi block, between 7,500 and 9,000 for the S 2 block and between 5,000 and 12,000 for the B 2 block; and d.
- said linear hydrogenated block copolymer has an order-disorder temperature of less than 240° C , a melt flow rate of less than 2.0 g/10 minutes as measured at 200° C under a load of 5 kg in accordance with ASTM D1238 and a melt flow rate of between 4.0 and 20.0 g/10 minutes as measured at 250° C under a load of 5kg in accordance with ASTM 1238D.
- the Bi and B 2 blocks resemble ethylene/butylene copolymers due to the control of the 1,2-content of the butadiene polymer. These are therefore alternatively termed "EB" blocks.
- the inventors have found that the particular combinations of molecular weights for the blocks claimed herein leads to outstanding elastic properties, and that the molecular weight of the B 2 block, or the "EB-tail", can be used to control the processability of the polymer.
- linear hydrogenated block copolymers may be compounded with other components into certain elastomeric compositions that have great utility for injection molding and extrusion.
- Injection molding can be used to make articles such as overmolded handles and soft panels.
- Extrusion can be used to prepare films, ribbons, tapes and fibers.
- These compositions comprise the linear hydrogenated block copolymer, a styrene polymer, an ethylene polymer and a tackifying resin.
- the tetrablock copolymer of the present invention allows a balance of processability, strength and elasticity not achievable in any other film and fiber compound. Compounds for these film and fiber applications normally have strengths in the range of 2,000 to 3,000 psi.
- Figure 1 shows stress-strain curves for various compounds of one of the tetrablock copolymers of the present invention with varying amounts and types of polystyrene.
- Figure 2 shows stress-strain curves for various compounds of the present invention, including tetrablock copolymer, polystyrene, polyethylene and tackifying resin.
- Figure 3 shows stress-strain curves comparing compounds of the present invention against a compound based on a selectively hydrogenated styrene-isoprene tetrablock copolymer.
- the tetrablock copolymers of the present invention are linear polymers prepared ' by contacting the monomers to be polymerized sequentially with an organoalkali metal compound in a suitable solvent at a temperature within the range from about -150° C to about 300° C, preferably at a temperature within the range from about 0° C to about 100° C.
- organolithium compounds having the general formula RLi n where R is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, or alkyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and n is an integer of 1 to 4.
- Preferred initiators include n- butyl lithium and sec-butyl lithium. See generally, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,039,593 and Re 27,145 for typical synthesis.
- the tetrablock is a selectively hydrogenated A ⁇ -B ⁇ -A 2 -B 2 block copolymer where the A blocks are polymer blocks of mono alkenyl arenes, preferably polymer blocks of styrene.
- the B blocks prior to hydrogenation are polymer blocks of 1,3- butadiene, where between about 25 and 60 percent of the units have a 1,2-vinyl bond content, preferably between about 30 and about 55 1,2-vinyl bond content.
- the control of microstructure in the synthesis of the polymer is through the addition of a control agent during polymerization of the butadiene.
- a typical agent is diethyl ether. See US Pat. Re 27,145 and U.S. Pat. No.
- the tetrablock copolymer is selectively hydrogenated using any of the several hydrogenation processes know in the art.
- the hydrogenation may be accomplished using methods such as those taught, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,494,942; 3,634,594; 3,670,054; 3,700,633; and Re. 27,145, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- the methods known in the prior art and useful in the present invention for hydrogenating polymers containing ethylenic unsaturation and for selectively hydrogenating polymers containing aromatic and ethylenic unsaturation involve the use of a suitable catalyst, particularly a catalyst or catalyst precursor comprising an iron group metal atom, particularly nickel or cobalt, and a suitable reducing agent such as an aluminum alkyl. Also useful are titanium based catalyst systems.
- the hydrogenation will be accomplished in a suitable solvent at a temperature within the range from about 20° C to about 100° C, and at a hydrogen partial pressure within the range from about 100 psig to about 5,000 psig.
- Catalyst concentrations within the range from about 10 ppm wt to about 500 ppm wt of iron group metal based on total solution are generally used and contacting at hydrogenation conditions is generally continued for a period of time with the range from about 60 to about 240 minutes. After the hydrogenation is completed, the hydrogenation catalyst and catalyst residue will, generally, be separated from the polymer.
- An important aspect of the present tetrablock copolymer is control of the molecular weights of the individual blocks. This is accomplished by controlling the monomer and the initiator ratios according to known techniques. The following are the preferred and more preferred molecular weights of the blocks:
- Molecular weights of linear block copolymers are conveniently measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) in tetrahydrofuran, where the GPC system has been appropriately calibrated. Polymers of known molecular weight are used to calibrate the GPC and these must be of the same molecular structure and chemical composition as the unknown linear polymers that are to be measured.
- GPC Gel Permeation Chromatography
- melt flow Another important aspect of the tetrablock copolymers is the melt flow, measured at 200° C and at 250° C. The measurement is according to ASTM D-1238.
- the melt flow for the neat polymer must be between 4.0 and 20.0 grams per 10 minutes as measured at 250° C under a load of 5 kg, preferably between 5.0 and 15 grams per 10 minutes.
- the melt flow must be less than 2.0 grams per 10 minutes as measured at 200° C under a load of 5 kg, preferably under 1.5.
- melt flow rates are important because they are measures of the rheological properties that control the balance of performance and processability for these polymers. Products that have melt flow rates at 200°C greater than 2.0 grams per 10 minutes will have poor mechanical properties in the application.
- the order-disorder temperature must be less than 240° C, preferably between 210° C and 240° C. This is important because when the ODT is below 210° C the polymer will exhibit excessive creep. Polymers with ODT's above 240° C may not be easily formulated into effective elastic compounds with common ingredients.
- the order-disorder temperature is defined as the temperature above which a zero shear viscosity can be measured by capillary rheology or dynamic rheology.
- another aspect of the present invention relates to blends or compounds of the tetrablock copolymers of the present invention with other polymers selected from the group consisting of certain styrene polymers, certain olefin polymers, and certain tackifying resins.
- the styrene polymers are selected from crystal polystyrene and anionic polystyrene, and are included to increase strength and modulus of the compound. High impact polystyrene is not useful because the rubber dispersed in the HIPS would reduce the strength of the compound.
- the anionic polystyrene have a molecular weight of about 5,000 to about 100,000, since lower molecular weights would be too volatile and higher molecular weights could be obtained as easily from commercial polymers.
- the crystal polystyrene it is preferred that it have a melt flow greater than 8 and about 15.
- Preferred polystyrenes include anionic polystyrene having a molecular weight of 7,000, and crystal polystyrene having a melt flow of about 15. Suitable polystyrenes are available from many manufacturers such as Nova Chemicals.
- the olefin polymers include both crystalline and elastomeric polyolefms.
- Polyolefins utilized in the present invention must be those that form a mechanically compatible blend when blended with the tetrablock copolymers of the present invention.
- the olefin polymer is added to the compound in order to increase the modulus (stiffness) of the compound and improve the flow properties.
- preferred olefin polymers include polyethylene, polypropylene, and polybutylene, including ethylene copolymers, propylene copolymers and butylene copolymers.
- metallocene catalyzed olefin polymers such as those available from Dow Chemical Company under the trademark AFFINITY or ENGAGE and from Exxon/Mobil Chemical Company under the trademark EXACT. Blends of two or more of the polyolefins may be utilized.
- Much preferred polyolefins include low density polyethylene and linear low density polyethylene having densities less than 0.93 grams per cubic centimeter.
- the LDPE or LLDPE have a high melt flow, preferably greater than about 100.
- a much preferred polyolefin is Petrothene NA 601 from Quantum Chemical, having a density of about 0.903 grams per cubic centimeter and a Melt index of 2,000 grams per 10 minutes when measured in accordance with ASTM D 1238.
- Waxes, such as Epolenes, available from Eastman Chemical are also suitable polyolefms.
- the waxes may be branched ethylene waxes or copolymer waxes.
- tackifying resins can be used in the present invention in order to increase tack and reduce viscosity.
- Any tackifying resin can be used which is compatible with the tetrablock copolymer and the polyolefin, and can withstand the processing temperatures.
- hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins are preferred tackifying resins, because of their better temperature stability.
- Suitable resins are available from a number of companies such as Arkon resins from Arakawa, Rextac from Huntsman Chemical, Escorez from Exxon Chemical and Estotac , Regalite, and Regalrez resins from Eastman.
- Preferred tackifying resins are hydrogenated ⁇ -methyl styrene, low molecular weight hydrocarbon resin, such as REGALREZ® resins 1126 and 1139 from Eastman Chemical.
- the compounds of the present invention include those having the following formulations, where the total of the various components in any one formulation equals 100 percent:
- Tackifying Resin 0 to 25% 10 to 25 % While the principal components of the extrudable, elastomeric composition have been described in the foregoing, such composition is not limited thereto, and can include other components not adversely affecting the composition attaining the stated objectives. Exemplary materials which could be used as additional components would include, without limitation, pigments, antioxidants, stabilizers, surfactants, waxes, flow promoters, solvents, particulates, and materials added to enhance processability and handling of the composition.
- Suitable blending techniques include roll milling, screw extrusion and the like.
- compositions of the present invention may be used in a variety of applications such as molded and extruded goods.
- Preferred applications are overmolding on various polymer substrates and extrusion into elastic films and fibers having improved processing and/or bonding properties.
- Molded products provide a soft, high friction surface either alone or overmolded onto polymer substrates to improve the surface feel of a wide range of products.
- Embodiment #1 various tetrablock copolymers were prepared - some according to the present invention, and some outside the present invention. In all cases the tetrablock copolymers were prepared according to the following process scheme:
- styrene was polymerized in a reactor in the presence of a cyclohexane diluent and a sec-butyl lithium initiator to form the Si block;
- the 1,2-vinyl content of the butadiene blocks prior to hydrogenation was about 38% for all the polymers.
- the various polymers prepared in Illustrative Embodiment #1 are listed in Table #1.
- the polymers marked with an asterisk are those according to the present invention. - those not marked with an asterisk are outside the present invention.
- PS 6700 an anionic polystyrene having a molecular weight of 6700 Nova 555, a crystal polystyrene having a melt flow of 15 PS 15000, an anionic polystyrene having a molecular weight of 15,000 Nova EA 3000, a crystal polystyrene having a melt flow of 1.5
- the compound contained 0.2 percent of an antioxidant.
- Table 2 and Figure 1 show that the addition of 5% to 10% polystyrene produces a significant improvement in tensile strength, but more importantly in the modulus values at 300% and 500% strain. This provides the compound with a more linear stress strain curve and less of a rubbery plateau from 150-500%) elongation.
- Typical block copolymers have a relatively slow increase in stiffness from 150-500%) elongation. This slow increase in stiffness allows typical block copolymers to be stretched to high elongation without the use of significantly greater forces. In injection molded parts, the stiffer elastomer will provide better tear and bite resistance.
- Illustrative Embodiment #3 Polymer 1000 from Illustrative Embodiment #1 was compounded with a tackifying resin and a low-density polyethylene.
- the tackifying resin was Regalrez 1126, which is a fully hydrogenated ⁇ -methyl styrene hydrocarbon resin having a softening point of 125° C.
- the low-density polyethylene was NA-601, having a density of 0.903.
- Samples D-l through D-5 were compounded in a similar manner to that of Illustrative Embodiment #2. The benefit of increased strength and modulus can be see from Table #3 and Figure #2.
- Sample D-3 which contains polystyrene, tackifying resin and polyethylene has a substantially improved tensile strength and modulus at 500% elongation over any of the other formulations, without sacrificing other properties such as permanent set and hysteresis.
- the formulation of Sample D-3 was compounded in larger volumes on a Berstorff twin screw extruder, then cast on a Davis Standard cast film line.
- the formulation is labeled F-lin Table 3 and Figure 2.
- the film version has substantially improved tensile strength and modulus at high elongations compared to formulations without polystyrene. The improvement is particularly noted in the machine direction ("md") of the extruded film, compared to the transverse ("td") direction. For applications where elongation is in the machine direction, such as fibers and some films, this is highly advantageous.
- the properties shown in Table 3 are relatively isotropic compared to traditional compounds where the difference in properties between the MD and TD directions is often more than a factor of 2. This is advantageous for molding thin parts with long flow paths.
- a material such as the F-l compound would show very little tendency to warp or shrink non-uniformly because the properties are very similar in all directions.
- G-1730 is a selectively hydrogenated S-I-S-I tetrablock copolymer having a styrene content of about 22%w. As shown by comparing the results in Tables 4 and 5 and in Figure 3, the ultimate tensile strength of the current invention is substantially improved over the existing commercial compounds. The modulus at all elongation levels is improved resulting in a more powerful elastic.
