Objective
This project succeeded in developing three families of all acrylic, polymeric materials: acrylic thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), impact modifiers for PS, PMMA and ABS, and hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives (HMPSAs). These new materials have better weather, heat distortion and oil resistance then SBS (styrene butadiene styrene) copolymers.
THE MAIN AIM IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW FAMILIES OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS ON A PILOT PLANT SCALE USING THE METHOD OF LIVING ANIONIC POLYMERISATION METHACRYLATES AND ACRYLATES. THE KNOWLEDGE ALREADY GAINED IS TO APPLIED IN THE DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF PRIMARY POLY(ACRYLATES), IN A SOLVENT MEDIUM AND AT TEMPERATURES OF ABOUT - 20 CELSIUS DEGREES.
THE NEW FAMILIES OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS TO BE DEVELOPED ARE THE FOLLOWING:
(I) THERMOPLASTIC MATERIALS
TARGET PROPERTIES:
- ELONGATION AT BREAK: AT LEAST 500 %
- ELASTICITY MODULUS: AT LEAST 3 MPA
- TENSILE STRENGTH: AT LEAST 30 MPA.
TARGET PRODUCTS ARE TO BE FOUND IN THE GROUP OF TERNARY BLOCK POLYMERS OF THE ABA OR ABC TYPE, WHERE A IS POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE) (PMMA), C IS POLY(STYRENE) (PS) AND B IS POLY(BUTYLACRYLATE) (PBA) OR POLY(METHYHEXYLACRYLATE) (PEHA).
(II) IMPACT MODIFIERS
TARGET PRODUCTS: BINARY BLOCK COPOLYMERS A-B, OR C-B, A, B AND C AS ABOVE.
TARGET PROPERTIES:
- HIGH IMPACT POLYSTYRENE: IMPACT STRENGTH AT LEAST 60 J/M, GLOSS AT LEAST 85 %;
- IMPACT PMMA: IMPACT STRENGTH AT LEAST 45 J/M;
- ABS RESIN: IMPACT STRENGTH AT LEAST 100 J/M.
(III) ADHESIVES AND HOT-MELTS
A-B BLOCK COPOLYMERS ARE TO BE STUDIED, A OR B AS ABOVE.
TARGET PROPERTIES:
DUE TO THE WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS OF THIS CLASS OF MATERIALS EXACT TARGET PROPERTIES WILL BE SPECIFIED BY NIEDERLUCKE.
