摘要

Abstract

The cationic polymerization of C

mixed feed and isobutylene co-initiated by AlCl

×O

BuAlCl

and [emim]Cl-FeCl

([emim]Cl: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride) has been investigated. AlCl

×O

co-initiated cationic polymerization of C

mixed feed proceeds at a lower rate than polymerization of isobutylene affording polymers with higher molecular weight. Complexes of

BuAlCl

with diisopropyl ether of different compositions are more suitable co-initiators than AlCl

×O

for the synthesis of highly reactive polyisobutylene (HR PIB) from C

mixed feed due to their higher activity in the polymerization as well as possibility to prepare polyisobutylenes with lower molecular weight and higher content of

exo

-olefin end groups. However

BuAlCl

needs activating

via

addition of external water (initiator) and/or interaction with salts hydrates in order to increase the reaction rate and the saturated monomer conversion. [Emim]Cl-FeCl

O is a quite promising catalyst for the preparation of HR PIB with high

exo

-olefin end group content (

80%) and relatively low polydispersity (

2.8)

via

cationic polymerization of C

mixed feed. The sonication of reaction mixture in case of using [emim]Cl-FeCl

allowed increasing the reaction rate and decreasing the molecular weight.
