Abstract

The present invention provides a modified rubber containing silicon and phosphorus, and a composition and manufacturing method thereof. The present invention provides the modified rubber structured as formula (1), wherein X is selected from a C 1 -C 12 alkylene group, a C 2 -C 12 alkenylene group, a C 3 -C 12 alicyclic group, and a C 6 -C 12 aromatic group; and A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , Y, and Z are each independently selected from an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a halide group, and a conjugated diene rubber, wherein the conjugated diene rubber is a polymer composed of a conjugated diene monomer or the conjugated diene monomer with a vinyl aromatic monomer, A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , Y, and Z are the same or different from each other, and at least one of A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , Y, and Z is the conjugated diene rubber.

Claims (11)

1. A method for manufacturing a modified rubber, comprising:

step (a): providing a conjugated diene rubber, which is a polymer composed of a conjugated diene monomer or the conjugated diene monomer with a vinyl aromatic monomer, the step (a) comprising utilizing an anionic polymerization to polymerize the conjugated diene monomer or the conjugated diene monomer with the vinyl aromatic monomer using an organic alkali metal compound as an initiator to form a conjugated diene rubber containing alkali metal ions; and

step (b): providing a compound containing silicon and phosphorus to react with the conjugated diene rubber, wherein the compound containing silicon and phosphorus has a structure of formula (1), and the conjugated diene rubber replaces at least one of A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , Y, and Z in the compound containing silicon and phosphorus to form the modified rubber,

wherein X is selected from a C 1 -C 12 alkylene group, a C 2 -C 12 alkenylene group, a C 3 -C 12 alicyclic group, and a C 6 -C 12 aromatic group; and

A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , Y, and Z are each independently selected from an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, and a halide group, and A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , Y, and Z are the same or different from each other, wherein the molar ratio of the compound containing silicon and phosphorus to the conjugated diene rubber containing alkali metal ions is ≥5.0.

2. The method for manufacturing a modified rubber of claim 1 , wherein the conjugated diene rubber is a block copolymer.

3. The method for manufacturing a modified rubber of claim 1 , wherein the conjugated diene rubber is a non-block copolymer.

4. The method for manufacturing a modified rubber of claim 1 , wherein the conjugated diene rubber replaces at least two of A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , Y, and Z in the compound containing silicon and phosphorus to form the modified rubber.

5. The method for manufacturing a modified rubber of claim 1 , wherein by a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) measurement the modified rubber is characterized in having m peaks, m is greater than or equal to 1, and the first peak (M i ) represents the lowest weight average molecular weight of 5×10 4 to 150×10 4 g/mole.

6. The method for manufacturing a modified rubber of claim 5 , wherein m is greater than 1, the modified rubber has a coupling ratio (CR %) of 10% to 80%, and the coupling ratio (CR %)=[(a total integral area of the m peaks−an integral area of the first peak)/the total integral area of the m peaks]×100%.

7. The method for manufacturing a modified rubber of claim 1 , wherein the modified rubber has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 15×10 4 to 200×10 4 g/mole.
