Flowability of Ethylene-Propylene Copolymer in Situ-regulated by Long-chain Nonconjugated α,ω-Diolefin
In heterophasic copolymerization of propylene to high-impact PP copolymer
an emerging approach to control of the all-important copolymer particle morphology is
in situ
crosslinking the ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPR) by nonconjugated
α
ω
-diolefin. With the formation of crosslinking structure
pendant unsaturation structure supervened and its role was unveiled. This paper discusses the effect of pendant unsaturation structure on EPR’s flowability. A series of EPR samples with increasing crosslinking degrees were synthesized by an MgCl
2
/9
9-bis (methoxymethyl) fluorene/TiCl
4
catalyst and 1
9-decadiene of increasing concentrations. The copolymers were characterized by NMR
GPC
and DSC for chain structure
small amplitude oscillatory shear for linear viscoelasticity
and creep rheology for flowability. Increasing 1
9-decadiene concentration increased the EPR crosslinking degree monotonously; nevertheless
its effect on viscoelasticity was rather complex. Chain structure analyses reveal that in terms of effect on viscoelasticity
two opposite reaction processes are in progress in ethylene/propylene copolymerizaiton with
in situ
crosslinking by 1
9-decadiene
one being crosslinking itself
the other the accompanying fomation of pendant
α
-olefin unsaturations which are short chain-branching in essence. It is perceived that the sluggishness of Ziegler-Natta catalyst to sterically bulky
α
-olefin makes the progression of crosslinking lag behind that of short chain-branching
which accounts for the peculiar U-shape in EPR flowability and 1
