A polybutadiene rubber composition having an improved green strength, which comprises a polybutadiene having a content of cis-1,4 bond of at least 70%, an average chain length of 1,4-bond of 110˜450, a molecular weight distribution represented by a ratio of weight-average molecular weight (Mw) to number-averge molecular weight (Mn) of not less than 5.0 and containing at least 1% by weight of a component having a molecular weight of not less than 25,000,000 as polystyrene measured by gel permeation chromatograph.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
195 words
A polybutadiene rubber composition according to claim 1, wherein said polybutadiene is produced by polymerizing 1,3-butadiene in the presence of a catalyst system containing the following compounds (I)-(III) as an essential ingredient: (I) a compound of a lanthanum series rare earth element having an atomic number of 57˜71; (II) an organoaluminum compound represented by a general formula of AlR 1 R 2 R 3 , wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are the same or different and represent a hydrocarbon residue having a carbon number of 1˜8, respectively; and (III) a halogenated aluminum compound represented by a general formula of AlX n R 3-n , wherein X is a halogen atom, R is a hydrocarbon residue having a carbon number of 1˜8 and n is 1 to 3, until a degree of conversion of 1,3-butadiene reaches at least 3%, and then adding at least one compound selected from organoaluminum hydrides represented by a general formula of AlH m R 3-m , wherein R is a hydrocarbon residue having a carbon number of 1˜8 and m is 1 or 2, and aromatic hydrocarbons containing an active hydrogen as a modifier to complete polymerization.
