The Study of Epoxidation of Styrene/1,3-Pentadiene Alternating Copolymer
3-pentadiene (PD) can undergo anionic polymerization to synthesize a special alternating sequence copolymer (SP) with BuLi as initiator. Interestingly
the multi-block copolymer based on this unique alternating sequence has great application value in the fields of high impact resistant
high transparent and toughened resin and so on. Furthermore
the polarity-modification of unsaturated polyolefin materials is of great research significance
for example
improving the compatibility and heat/weather resistance as well as transparent characteristics. In this paper
m
-CPBA was used as the epoxidation reagent to study the epoxidation modification of SP. The effects of reaction temperature
solvent
SP molecular weight and epoxidation reagent on the epoxidation reaction were investigated in detail. The resultant epoxidation product (eSP) was characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (
1
H-NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). In addition
the quantitative analysis method of eSP with different epoxidation degrees was well established
and the optimal reaction conditions were determined through orthogonal experiments: tetrahydrofuran (THF)/cyclohexane (CH) as solvent

which proved that epoxidation could significantly improve the polarity of products and the service temperature of polyolefins.
