Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of a crystallizable synthetic rubber based on butadiene and piperylene in the presence of active vanadium-based catalysts is described. This outlet for piperylene (a cocomponent with isoprene of the C5 cut of naphtha crackers) would allow a rational utilization of both monomers present in the same cut and draw the best advantage from the complementary properties of the copolymer described in this work and cis-1,4-polyisoprene. The butadiene units in the copolymer are in the trans-1,4-configuration. The piperylene content giving a good compromise between crystallization at low temperature (temperature sensitivity) and crystallization upon stretching (strain sensitivity) is 30 ± 5 mol%. The copolymer shows outstanding green strength and tack, and it is less prone than high-cis-polybutadiene and trans-polypentenamer to crystallization at low temperature, because of a particular combination of thermodynamic parameters. Among these, melting point and glass transition are somewhat adjustable by controlling the piperylene content in the range specified. The properties of this crystallizable rubber suggest its use as a general-purpose rubber, possibly in combination with other conventional elastomers.
