Abstract

A series of trans-1,4-butadiene/isoprene copolymers were prepared using the catalyst system TiCl4/MgCl2-Al(i-Bu)3 with bulk precipitation technology at different temperatures. Monomers reactivity ratios were calculated based on the Kelen-Tüdös (K-T) method and the Mao-Huglin (M-H) method. The influence of temperature on copolymer composition and polymerization rate was discussed in detail. The increase of reaction temperature brought the decrease of butadiene reactivity ratio r Bd and supplied an effective adjustment on copolymers’ composition distribution.
