Abstract

Isoprene is copolymerized with styrene or butadiene in the presence of metallic lithium and/or a lithium hydrocarbon. The copolymers preferably contain 70-95 weight per cent of isoprene and correspondingly 30-5 per cent of comonomer. Metallic lithium is used as a finely divided suspension in petroleum jelly or a mineral oil or paraffin boiling above 200 DEG C. Lithium hydrocarbons which can be used include various alkyl-, aryl-, and aralkyl-lithiums and polylithiums of which a large number are specified. The amount of catalyst may be such as to provide 0.001-1.0 gram as lithium element per 100 grams of monomers. Temperatures 0-100 DEG C. can be used; vapour or liquid phase polymerization is employed according to the temperature and pressure. Bulk polymerization or solution technique, using as the inert solvent pentane, hexane, heptane, petroleum ether, benzene or cyclopentane, are preferred. Oxygen, other components of air and water, ethers, esters and amines should be excluded from the reaction. The monomers should be pure, isoprene of at least 90 mol. per cent purity being preferred and monomers and solvent are preferably passed through a silica gel column when charging to the reactor. Charging may be done in vacuum or under argon or helium, and about 10 per cent of the charge may be vented to drive off any oxygen which may be present and the reactor is sealed. Reaction times of 3-60 hours are used. The product is dipped into methanol or isopropanol containing an antioxidant; this destroys the catalyst and precipitates the polymer.
