Definitions
- the invention relates to an essentially two-stage process for the production of tough modified, thermoplastic molding compositions, in particular impact modified styrene homopolymers and copolymers in solution.
- the invention relates in particular to the production of styrene-acrylonitrile polymers.
- styrene is also to be understood below to mean its technical equivalents, vinyltoluene, tert-butylstyrene, p-methylstyrene, ethylstyrene or ⁇ -methylstyrene.
- butadiene is also intended for isoprene, dimethylbutadiene, pentadiene -1.3 or hexadiene-1.3.
- Impact-resistant polystyrene is usually produced thermally or with radical-forming initiators in a series of reactors (a so-called cascade). Polybutadiene in styrene and i.a. dissolved in a solvent such as ethylbenzene and the solution fed to a cascade from at least two reaction zones. Many process variants have been described and are also practiced technically; typical processes are described, for example, in US Pat. Nos. 2,727,884 or 3,903,202.
- GB-A-1 013 205 proposed a process in which the rubber is first polymerized in cyclohexane. This solvent is exchanged for styrene and then polymerized in the usual way. The disadvantage of this process is that an additional solvent is used which has to be removed before the subsequent radical polymerization.
- EP-A-334 715 therefore proposes a method which is to avoid this disadvantage. First of all, polybutadiene is produced in ethylbenzene, the common auxiliary solvent for styrofoamisation. After the active chains have been broken off, part of the solution is then diluted with preheated styrene and prepolymerized to a solids content of 30%. The polymerization is finally brought to an end in further reactors.
- EP-A-334 715 is also disadvantageous because, owing to the high viscosity of the dissolved polybutadiene, only dilute rubber solutions can be used, ie a large amount of solvent is required. This leads to high expenditure of energy and apparatus for the removal and cleaning of the solvent. If, as proposed, ethylbenzene is used as the solvent, its regulating action also leads to polymers with a molecular weight which is too low and thus to inferior products.
- EP-A-059 231 describes a process in which a styrene-butadiene block copolymer is anionically pre-formed and the free-radical polymerization of styrene is carried out in the presence of this block copolymer.
- the styrene-butadiene copolymer is first polymerized up to a conversion of at most 30%.
- the excess butadiene is then distilled off, since the presence of butadiene, as in the aforementioned case, would bring about crosslinking in the radical polymerization. Again, the necessary removal of the butadiene practically does not allow the process to be carried out continuously.
- a styrene-butadiene block copolymer ("block rubber”) is polymerized anionically in a reaction zone which at least in its - in the working direction - last section from a reactor with plug flow, i.e. consists of a tubular reactor, the reaction product from this zone - possibly after chain termination (quenching) or coupling - is mixed with styrene or, in the case of the production of copolymers - with styrene and the selected comonomer and the mixture in a known manner radically polymerized.
- block rubber styrene-butadiene block copolymer
- Immediate subject matter of the invention is a process for the production of the production of toughened styrene polymers, in particular toughened styrene homo- and styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers in solution in two stages, with a styrene-butadiene block copolymer in a first reaction zone by anionic copolymerization of butadiene and styrene is produced and fed directly to a second reaction zone in which the desired styrene homopolymer or copolymer is prepared by radical polymerization or copolymerization.
- This process is designed according to the invention in such a way that a first reaction zone is provided which, at least in its - in the working direction - last section from a reactor with plug flow, i.e. a tubular reactor.
- the process according to the invention is also expediently designed such that the target product obtained after the second reaction zone, i.e. an impact-modified styrene homo- or copolymer is fed to a degassing device operated under reduced pressure and the vapors obtained are condensed, preferably purified by distillation, dried and fed back to the first reaction zone.
- a degassing device operated under reduced pressure and the vapors obtained are condensed, preferably purified by distillation, dried and fed back to the first reaction zone.
- the vapors can be recycled without time-consuming separation of solvent and residual styrene if the monomer in the second zone is reacted to such an extent that the ratio of monomer to solvent in the Vapors are less than or equal to the monomer / solvent ratio in the approach for the production of the rubber.
- a simple distillation is sufficient to remove, for example, oligomeric components and stopping agents.
- the last traces of impurities are removed by cleaning the distillate with a drying agent such as aluminum oxide or molecular sieve.
- the target product is an impact resistant styrene copolymer, e.g. with acrylonitrile
- the comonomer will first be separated off and the vapors will then be returned to the first reaction zone. This is usually easy to do because of the favorable spacing of the boiling points.
- Conversion of styrene or styrene and selected comonomer in the last reaction zone is carried out to such an extent that no more styrene is recycled with the solvent than is used for the (anionic) production of a styrene-butadiene block copolymer.
- a conversion of styrene of about 90 to 95% must be achieved. Otherwise, it would have to be continuously thinned and the amount of solvent circulating continuously increased.
- An advantage of the process is that it is possible to produce impact-modified polystyrene molding compositions continuously in solution in a single polymerization section with only monomeric feedstocks.
- Another advantage is the use of styrene-butadiene block rubber as an impact modifier, which results in a reduced proportion of butadiene polymer and thus high stability and resistance of the process product to e.g. Weather and light (yellowing).
- a reaction zone 1 ie a reactor
- a reaction zone 1 ie a reactor
- the pipe section is equipped, for example, with a static mixing element.
- a static mixing element for example, a suitably equipped simple pipe reactor or a tube bundle heat exchanger.
- Suitable static mixers are known and are described, for example, in Chem. Eng. Commun. , Vol 36 pp. 251-267 or Chem. Eng. Technol. 13 (1990), pp. 214-220.

- reaction zone 1 a reaction vessel 1 or a tower reactor with a downstream tube zone can also be used as reaction zone 1, this also expediently also provided with a static mixing element, with conventional tower reactors already having properties which achieve an approximate plug flow. It is only essential that the reaction mixture is subjected to a plug flow under polymerization conditions before it leaves reaction zone 1 until the residual diene content, e.g. is below 1000, preferably below 500 and particularly preferably below 100 ppm. This is achieved by a tubular reactor with static mixers.
- the reaction in zone 1 can be carried out isothermally, adiabatically or partially adiabatically.
- the absolutely dry solvent and the required amount of stabilizer-free, dried monomer (styrene) and a suitable initiator solution (e.g. see-butyllithium) are metered in continuously in the desired ratio at the entrance to reaction zone 1.
- Pure butadiene is metered in downstream (lb).
- a styrene-butadiene block copolymer is obtained.
- the living chain ends are broken off with a protic solvent or coupled with a suitable coupling agent (lc). Since the monomers fed to the second reaction stage are polymerized by free radicals, they do not have to be cleaned particularly strictly; the stabilizers and traces of water present in the monomers which are fed to the second reaction stage are therefore often sufficient to terminate the living chain ends of the first reaction stage. Coupling can give three-block or star block copolymers with correspondingly favorable properties.
- the rubber solution obtained at the end of reaction zone 1 is fed to reaction zone 2, in which polymerization is carried out in a conventional manner by free radicals.
- temperatures in the range from 50 to 150 ° C. or preferably from 70 to 120 ° C. are expediently selected.
- reaction zone 1 is expediently divided into a number of segments in order to be able to freely select the temperature control in each segment.
- Initiator can also be replenished downstream. This method is e.g. advantageous if you want to obtain rubbers with a broad or bimodal molecular weight distribution or if you want to influence the block lengths.
- the concentration of the (finished) rubber solution can be varied within wide limits. However, it is limited by the viscosity of the solution and by economic factors. A final concentration of 5-60% by weight is preferred, but preferably 20 to 45% by weight.
- the rubber solution prepared in reaction zone 1 is fed to a second reaction zone with the addition of monomers and, if appropriate, radical initiators and conventional auxiliaries.
- This second reaction zone generally consists of at least two stirrers, for example two stirrers or two stirred tower reactors, or combinations of these units.
- Such devices are e.g. in U.S. Patents 3,396,311 and 3,868,434 or DE-A-1,769,118 and 1,770,392.

These connections are generally used in amounts of 0.1 - 5 vol.%.
- Alkolates such as potassium tetrahydrolinaloate are required in an amount of 3 to 10%, based on the initiator used.
- Multi-functional compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, esters, anhydrides or polyfunctional epoxides can be used to couple the rubbers.
