Abstract

Random styrene (St)–butadiene (Bd) copolymer (SBR) was obtained with the catalyst system composed of Nd(P507)3, methylaluminoxane (MAO) and indene. This Nd-based catalyst system showed high activity and selectivity toward the copolymerization. Indene was proven to be the critical component to achieve the high content of St units (~33.0 %). Raising the polymerization temperature was beneficial to enhance the coordination of St to the active center, affording the increased yield and number-average molecular weight (M n ) of SBR. The polymers obtained in aliphatic solvents possessed higher M n than M n of SBR generated in toluene. The composition of SBR was controllable by adjusting the feed ratio of St/Bd. NMR and DSC analysis illustrated that the copolymers sustained random distribution even when St incorporation in SBR was up to 33.0 %. SBR was fully characterized by NMR, FTIR, GPC and DSC analysis.
