摘要:

丁腈橡胶(NBR)是由丁二烯和丙烯腈共聚而制得的一种重要的合成橡胶,而由NBR选择性加氢制得的氢化丁腈橡胶(HNBR),不仅保持了NBR原有的耐油和耐磨性,其耐侯性、耐臭氧性等均得到极大改善,被广泛用于武器部件、航天用密封件等领域,是不饱和聚合物化学改性领域的一个重要研究课题。本文采用纳米粒度仪、乌氏黏度计、傅里叶变换红外等表征手段,结合密度泛函理论计算(DFT),系统研究了溶剂性质对NBR在溶剂中的溶解行为、尺寸分布、分子结构及催化加氢性能等的影响。实验结果表明强亲电子溶剂不能溶解NBR,给电子溶剂及部分弱亲电子溶剂能较好地溶解NBR,特别是在酮类溶剂中,NBR粒径小且分布集中。DFT结果表明相比于气相氛围,在所有溶剂氛围中NBR链段里双键的键长均有所增长,且随着溶剂的极性增加而呈增长的趋势,NBR的偶极矩也随着溶剂极性增加而增加。特别是在酮类溶剂中,受溶剂效应的影响NBR分子的HOMO轨道由分子边缘向分子内部移动,表明对链段内部CC双键可能产生积极的影响。加氢结果表明在给电子溶剂中的加氢效果均优于弱亲电子溶剂,但无论选择何种溶剂,对NBR中CC双键的加氢选择性均为100%。该研究为NBR非均相溶液加氢体系中溶剂的筛选提供了理论依据。

Abstract:

Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is an important synthetic rubber made by copolymerization of butadiene and acrylonitrile. The hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR), made by selective hydrogenation of NBR, not only maintains the original oil resistance and wear resistance, but also greatly improves its weather resistance and ozone resistance properties, which is widely used in weapon parts, aerospace seals and other fields. It is a key hot topic for the chemical modification of unsaturated polymers. In this paper, we systematically investigated the influence of solvent properties on the dissolution behavior, size distribution molecular structure of NBR and catalytic performance in solvent by using nanometer particle size analyzer, ubbelohde viscometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT). The results show that strong electrophilic solvents cannot dissolve NBR, but electron donating solvents and some weak electrophilic solvents can dissolve NBR well. Especially in ketone solvents, NBR has small particle size with narrow distribution. DFT calculations reveal that compared with the gas atmosphere, the bond lengths of CC double bonds in NBR segment has increased in all solvents, and show an increasing trend as the polarity of the solvent increases. The dipole moment of NBR also increases with the increase of solvent polarity. Especially in ketone solvents, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of NBR molecule moves from the edge to the inside of the molecule under the strong solvent effect, indicating that it may have a positive influence on the CC double bond inside the chain segment. The hydrogenation results show that the hydrogenation activity of NBR in the electron donating solvents is higher than that in weak electrophilic solvents, but no matter which solvent is selected, the hydrogenation selectivity to CC double bonds of NBR is 100%. This study provides a theoretical basis for the selection of solvents in the NBR heterogeneous solution hydrogenation system.
