Determination of Prepolymer Functionality and Its Relationship to Binder Properties

Abstract

Functionality and functionality distribution measurements have been carried out on six different polybutadiene prepolymers containing hydroxy or carboxy functionality. The specific prepolymers are: Sinclair's Poly B-D R-45M and R-15M, hydroxy-functional butadiene homopolymers prepared by free radical polymerization and General Tire's Telagen prepolymer series, prepared by anionic polymerization. The Telagen prepolymer series comprises the following polymers: the OH-Telagen (nominal Mn=5000) and its low molecular weight (Mn=2000), saturated counterpart, OH-Telagen-S, and the corresponding carboxy-functional analogues, COOH-Telagen and COOH-Telagen-S.
