Description

The present invention relates to an olefin-based graft copolymer useful as a melt fluidity improver for enhancing extrusion moldability by increasing the melt tension, or as a compatibilizer for facilitating the design of polyolefin-based composite materials and composite materials. The present invention relates to a method for producing a composition.

The olefin-based graft copolymer has a possibility of being applied as a melt fluidity improver for enhancing melt moldability, particularly extrusion moldability, or as a compatibilizer for incompatible composite materials. However, the conventional method for producing an olefin-based graft copolymer requires a complicated production process, is simpler, and is a method for producing an olefin-based graft copolymer that exhibits a high effect when used as a compatibilizer or the like. Has not yet been established.
For example, a method of producing an olefin-based graft copolymer by graft-polymerizing styrenes onto a graft precursor composed of ethylene / α-olefin / polyene is disclosed (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2). ). This production method is a production method in which the production of a graft precursor and the production of a graft polymer using the same are completely separated.
Further, a method of producing an olefin-based graft copolymer by performing graft polymerization following production of a graft precursor is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 3). In this production method, since the polyene component used during the production of the graft precursor remains, there is a limit in achieving higher graft efficiency during graft polymerization.
Furthermore, there is disclosed a method for producing an olefin-based graft copolymer by graft-polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer onto a styrene-based graft precursor having a syndiotactic structure (for example, see Patent Document 4). .
Further, a method for producing an olefin-based graft copolymer using a radical polymerization catalyst or an anion polymerization catalyst on a graft precursor comprising an α-olefin and divinylbenzene is disclosed (for example, Patent Document 5, Patent Document 6). reference).

Examples of the method for producing the aluminoxane include a method in which an alkylaluminum is brought into contact with a condensing agent such as water, but the method is not particularly limited, and the reaction may be performed according to a known method.

The aluminoxane thus obtained may have a gel component that increases with the passage of time, but is preferably used within 48 hours after preparation, and particularly preferably used immediately after preparation. The ratio between the aluminoxane and the hydrocarbon solvent is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a concentration such that the aluminum atom in the aluminoxane is 0.5 to 10 mol per liter of the hydrocarbon solvent.

The polymerization in the polymerization step [II] may be any of a slurry polymerization method, a bulk polymerization method, and a gas phase polymerization method, and the reactor may be any of a batch type and a continuous type. When the polymerization is performed in a solvent, examples of the solvent include aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, alicyclic hydrocarbons, and kerosene. Examples of the aliphatic hydrocarbon include propane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, decane, and the like. Examples of the aromatic hydrocarbon include benzene, toluene, xylene, and mixed isomers of xylene. Examples of the alicyclic hydrocarbon include cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cyclooctane, methylcyclopentane, and the like. Also, a mixed solvent of these solvents such as heptane / toluene can be used.
The polymerization is carried out under the conditions of a temperature of -100 to 300 ° C, preferably 0 to 200 ° C, a pressure of 0.001 to 10 MPa, preferably 0.05 to 3 MPa, and a polymerization time of 10 seconds to 10 hours, preferably 1 minute to 5 hours. It is preferred to do so. The molecular weight of the polymer produced in the polymerization step [II] can be controlled by the amount of hydrogenation, polymerization temperature, monomer concentration, polymerization pressure and the like. The composition of the polymer can be changed by changing the charged amount of the monomer, and the content of the polyene in the polymer can be increased or decreased by changing the charged amount of the polyene.
In the polymer composition produced in the polymerization step [II], the molecular weight represented by the intrinsic viscosity [η] measured in a decalin solvent at 135 ° C. is usually 0.05 to 20 deciliter / g, preferably 0.1 to 20 deciliter / g. It is 2 to 18 deciliter / g, more preferably 0.3 to 16 deciliter / g, and most preferably 0.4 to 13 deciliter / g. When the intrinsic viscosity [η] is less than 0.05 deciliter / g, physical properties such as rigidity and impact resistance are reduced, and when the intrinsic viscosity is more than 20 deciliter / g, moldability may be reduced.
In the polymer produced in the polymerization step [II], the molecular weight distribution is not particularly limited, and may be in a usual range. Preferably, the ratio Mw / Mn of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the number average molecular weight (Mn) measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography) is in the range of 1.5 to 25, and 1.8 to 15 is more preferred. Usually, the molecular weight distribution is almost determined by the catalyst to be used, but in order to expand the molecular weight distribution, in the polymerization step [II], conditions for changing the molecular weight such as, for example, hydrogen concentration, polymerization pressure, and polymerization temperature are used. You can change it.
In the polymer produced in the polymerization step [II], the polyene content is usually more than 0 and 30 mol% or less, preferably more than 0 and 25 mol% or less, more preferably more than 0 and 20 mol% or less, More preferably more than 0 and 15 mol% or less, even more preferably more than 0 and 10 mol% or less, still more preferably 0.001 to 5 mol%, more preferably 0.001 to 2.5 mol%, and most preferably Is 0.001 to 2 mol%. When the polyene content is 0, the effect of the present invention as a resin compatibilizer and the effect of improving the melt fluidity are poor, and when the polyene content exceeds 30 mol%, the melt fluidity is inferior. .

The polymer produced in the polymerization step [II] may have a long-chain branch in a part thereof. Examples of the long-chain branched structure include those in which the branch is formed by a polyene, those in which the branch is formed by a macromonomer, and those in which the branch is formed by a polymerization reaction involving both the polyene and the olefin-based macromonomer. . Specific examples include an ethylene-based macromonomer derived from ethylene (including a macromonomer in which the macromonomer itself has a branch), and a propylene-based macromonomer derived from propylene (including a macromonomer in which the macromonomer itself has a branch). , Stereoregularity is an atactic, isotactic, syndiotactic structure), ethylene, and an ethylene-based copolymerized macromonomer containing a monomer selected from α-olefins, cyclic olefins, styrene and derivatives thereof as a comonomer component, propylene And a propylene-based copolymerized macromonomer having a comonomer component of a monomer selected from ethylene, α-olefin, cyclic olefin, styrene and its derivatives (stereoregularity is atactic, isotactic, syndiotactic structure), olefin System Examples include those formed from both chromans and polyenes.
The structure of the long-chain branch has a branch length of 10 carbon atoms to a molecular weight similar to that of the main chain, and the number of branches is 0.0001 to 10 per 1000 carbon atoms. The structure of long-chain branching can be controlled by increasing the amount of polyene used in the polymerization step [II] or by using a catalyst that generates a macromonomer.

The following methods (a) and (b) are available as methods for detecting long-chain branching.
(A) Evaluation method based on shear rate dependence of melt viscosity A polyolefin having a long chain branch even in a trace amount detects a long chain branched structure by utilizing that the shear rate dependence of the melt viscosity is different from a polyolefin containing no branches. How to That is, when long-chain branching is present, the dependency of the melt viscosity on the shear rate is greater than in a system without long-chain branching. Therefore, the presence of long-chain branches can be detected by comparing the linear polymer having no long-chain branches with the graft polymer.
This method is known to be affected by the molecular weight distribution. In this case, the molecular weight distribution obtained by GPC (gel permeation chromatography) is almost the same, That is, a comparison is made with a polyolefin linear polymer having the same monomer species and substantially the same composition ratio. Further, as another method, a polyolefin having apparently no branching and having the same monomer species and substantially the same composition ratio is used, and the shear rate dependence of the melt viscosity on the molecular weight distribution is determined in advance, and the polymerization step [I] is performed. The presence of long-chain branching can be detected by comparing the same molecular weight distribution region as that of the above polymer. A specific measurement method given as an example is as follows.

(1) Measuring method Apparatus: Melt viscosity measuring apparatus RMS800 (Rheometrics)
<Measurement conditions>

Usually, a temperature 10 to 200 ° C. higher than the maximum glass transition temperature of the polymer in the polymerization step [I]. Strain: 15%
Angular velocity: 0.01 to 300 rad / s
Sample shape: cone plate

The melt viscosity with respect to the shear rate (that is, the angular velocity ω) is measured with the above apparatus and conditions.
<Data processing>
The angular velocity at which the melt viscosity is 10 Pa · s is ω ₁ , and the angular velocity at which the melt viscosity is 10 ³ Pa · s is ω _2, and the value of ω ₂ / 10ω ₁ is calculated.
<Comparative sample>
A polyolefin containing no branch and having the same monomer species and the same composition ratio as the polymer in the polymerization step [I] is used.
(2) Detection of long chain branching Case 1: The ratio of the molecular weight distribution [weight average molecular weight (Mw) / number average molecular weight (Mn)] of the polymer in the polymerization step [II] to the molecular weight distribution of the comparative sample is 0.8 to the value of ω ₂ / 10ω ₁ of the polymer when polymerization process [II] in the range 1.8 times the N ^1, when the value of ω ₂ / 10ω ₁ of the comparative sample was as N ^0, the following equation ( 5)
1.01 ≦ N ¹ / N ⁰ ≦ 80 (5)
The case where it is satisfied is evaluated as a long chain branched structure.
Case 2: When the ratio between the molecular weight distribution of the polymer in the polymerization step [II] and the molecular weight distribution of the comparative sample is out of the range of Case 1, the value of N ⁰ with respect to the molecular weight distribution is previously determined by comparing a plurality of comparative samples having different molecular weight distributions. Is determined using That is, N ⁰ (the value of ω ₂ / 10ω ₁ of the comparative sample) is plotted against the molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) obtained from the GPC of the comparative sample, and a monotonically increasing function N ⁰ = f (Mw / Mn) is obtained from this relationship. ) Is determined by the least squares method.
In this relation, the case where N ¹ obtained from the value of the molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) of the polymer in the polymerization step [I] satisfies the above formula (5) is evaluated as a graft structure.

In the above equation (5),
1.02 ≦ N ¹ / N ⁰ ≦ 70 is preferred,
1.03 ≦ N ¹ / N ⁰ ≦ 65 is more preferable,
1.04 ≦ N ¹ / N ⁰ ≦ 60 is more preferable,
Most preferably, 1.05 ≦ N ¹ / N ⁰ ≦ 55.
When N ¹ / N ⁰ is less than 1.01, long-chain branching is small, and the effect of the present invention may not be exhibited. If N ¹ / N ⁰ exceeds 80, gel or the like may be generated, and the moldability may be reduced.

When the ratio of the α values [(α) ^L / (α) ^B ] exceeds 1, it is evaluated that a long-chain branch exists. Here, (α) ^L indicates the α value of the linear polymer, and (α) ^B indicates the α value of the polymer in the polymerization step [II].
(Α) ^L / (α) ^B is
1.0 <(α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 10 is preferred,
1.0 <(α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 8 is more preferable,
1.0 <(α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 6 is more preferable,
1.0 <(α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 4 is still more preferable,
1.0 <(α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 2 is still more preferable,
1.0 <(α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 1.5 is more preferable,
Most preferably, 1.0 <(α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 1.3.
When there is no long-chain branch, (α) ^L / (α) ^B is 1. If (α) ^L / (α) ^B exceeds 10, gels may be generated and moldability may be reduced.

The concentration of the main catalyst component of the catalyst used in the polymerization step [II] is usually 3 × 10 ^-9 to 1 × 10 ^-3 mol / L. The main catalyst component is a transition metal compound belonging to Group 4 of the periodic table having a cyclopentadienyl skeleton [general formulas (A-2), (A-3), (A-4), (A-5), (A-5) A-6)] or a chelate compound, the concentration of the main catalyst component is preferably 3 × 10 ^{−9 to} 5 × 10 ⁻⁴ mol / liter, more preferably 1 × 10 ⁻⁸ to 1 × 10 ⁻⁴ mol. / Liter. When the main catalyst component is a compound represented by the general formula (A-1), concentration of the main catalyst component is preferably 1 × 10 ^-8 ~1 × 10 ^-4 mol / liter, more preferably 1 × 10 ^{- It is} 7-5 × 10 ^-4 mol / l.
The ratio of the main catalyst component and the total monomers used in the polymerization process [II] is, the main catalyst component 1 × 10 ^-7 mol, in total monomers ^10-3 to ² mole (mole ratio 1 : 10 ⁴ to 10 ⁹ ), more preferably 2 × 10 ⁻³ to 10 mol (1: 2 × 10 ⁴ to 10 ^{8 in} molar ratio).

The polyene has the same structure as the polymerization reaction site and is equivalent in polymerization reactivity, for example, the above-mentioned general formula (i), general formula (iii-2), general formula (iii-3) and general formula (iii-3) When the polyene represented by ii), specifically, p-divinylbenzene, is used, the amount of the polyene is usually from 1.0 × 10 ^-7 to 2 per gram of the polymer produced in the polymerization step [II]. 2.0 × 10 ⁻⁴ mol, preferably 2.0 × 10 ^{−7 to} 1.0 × 10 ⁻⁴ mol, more preferably 3.0 × 10 ^{−7 to} 0.8 × 10 ⁻⁴ mol, furthermore Preferably it is 4.0 × 10 ^{-7 to} 0.4 × 10 ^-4 mol, most preferably 5.0 × 10 ^{-7 to} 0.2 × 10 ^-4 mol.
The polyene has a structure in which the polymerization reaction sites are not the same and has different polymerization reactivity. For example, the above-mentioned general formula (iii-1), general formula (IV), general formula (v-1), general formula (v- 2), polyenes represented by the general formula (vi-1), the general formula (vi-2) and the general formula (ii), specifically, o-divinylbenzene, m-divinylbenzene and its nuclear-substituted product, p In the case of 1-substituted substituted p-divinylbenzene, 3-substituted substituted p-divinylbenzene, etc. having a divinylbenzene skeleton and being a nuclear substituent, the amount of the polyene used is determined in the polymerization step [II] The amount is usually 5.0 × 10 ^{−7 to} 1.0 × 10 ⁻³ mol, preferably 1.0 × 10 ^{−6 to} 5.0 × 10 ⁻⁴ mol, more preferably 1.0 × 10 ⁻⁴ mol, per 1 g of the polymer. 5 × 10 ^{-6 to} 4.0 × 10 ^-4 mol, more preferably 2.0 × 10 ^{-6 to} 2.0 × 1 It is 0 ^-4 mol, most preferably 2.5 × 10 ^{-6 to} 1.0 × 10 ^-4 mol.

If the amount of the polyene is too small, the polyene concentration at the starting point of the graft reaction in the polymerization step [III] will be low, and if the amount of the polyene is too large, it will be difficult to suppress the gel generation. In the present invention, those of the general formulas (i), (ii), (iv) and (v) are preferred.

The polymer composition produced in the polymerization step [II] is preferably washed in a washing step before the polymerization step [III]. Washing refers to all operations for removing unreacted polyene out of the reaction system among the polyenes used in the polymerization step [II]. Specific washing methods include (1) using a solvent in the polymerization step [ There are a method of removing unreacted polyene from the reaction mixture generated in II] by washing, and a method of (2) removing unreacted polyene components by drying. In both of the cleaning methods (1) and (2), it is preferable to use an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon and to remove the polyene under an inert atmosphere. As the solvent used in the washing method (1), the same solvents as those exemplified in the polymerization step [II] can be used, and it is preferable to use the same solvent as used in the polymerization step [II].
Regarding a specific method of the washing method (1), a case where the polymerization method in the polymerization step [II] is slurry polymerization, bulk polymerization, or gas phase polymerization will be described. In the case of slurry polymerization, the cleaning method includes at least the following steps 1 to 3.

Step 1 is a step of separating the solid component from the polymerization solvent and the components dissolved in the solvent after the completion of the polymerization. This separation method is a method in which stirring is stopped and the mixture is allowed to stand, a solid component is precipitated in the lower layer, and then the solvent component in the upper layer is extracted.The reaction mixture is put into a centrifugal separator to separate the solvent component and the solid component. There are ways to do that. Separation is performed at a temperature of -30 to 80 ° C. Upon separation, it is desirable to reduce the liquid content of the solid component as much as possible.
Step 2 is a step of washing the solid components with the above-mentioned solvent. Washing can be performed by stirring, and washing is performed at a washing temperature of −30 to 80 ° C. for a washing time of 10 seconds to 5 hours with stirring. The amount of the solvent is 100 to 2000 ml based on the solid components 100 g, solvent, concentration to an alkyl aluminum compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula _{(R v AlQ 3-v)} 0.0005~0.1 % By mass (5 to 1000 ppm by mass), more preferably 0.008 to 0.05% by mass (8 to 500 ppm by mass), and most preferably 0.0015 to 0.03% by mass (15 to 300 mass ppm). As the alkylaluminum compound, triethylaluminum, triisopropylaluminum, triisobutylaluminum, and trinormalhexylaluminum are preferable.
Step 3 is a step of recovering the washing solvent, and can be performed in the same manner as in step 1 described above. When the cleaning is repeated, steps 2 and 3 may be repeated.
When the polymerization method in the polymerization step [II] is bulk polymerization, it differs depending on whether the liquid phase is a gas or a liquid at normal temperature and normal pressure. When the liquid phase is a gas under normal temperature and normal pressure, Step 1 is a step of removing the liquid phase by depressurization. When the liquid phase is liquid at normal temperature and normal pressure, Step 1 is the same process as Step 1 in the slurry polymerization. Steps 2 and 3 are the same as steps 2 and 3 in the slurry polymerization.
When the polymerization method in the polymerization step [II] is gas phase polymerization, washing is performed in steps 2 and 3 in slurry polymerization.

The washing method (2) (a method of removing unreacted polyene components by drying) includes two methods, and one is a method of using one or both of heating and reduced pressure. Washing by this method is usually performed at a temperature of 50 ° C. to a temperature lower than the melting point of the polymer in the polymerization step [II], and under a reduced pressure of 1.33 × 10 ^{−2 to} 1.33 × 10 ⁴ Pa. Another method of the cleaning method (2) is a method of removing unreacted polyene components under a stream of an inert gas such as nitrogen gas. In the cleaning by this method, the inert gas is heated to a temperature of 50 to 200 ° C., and the polymer in the polymerization step [II] is stirred in the inert gas, or the polymer in the fluidized polymerization step [II] is heated. Through an inert gas heated to a temperature of 50 to 200 ° C. and drying.
The recovery rate of the polyene removed by the washing method (1) can be determined as follows. Assuming that the recovered solvent amount is B _n (unit: liter) of the total solvent amount _An (unit: liter) in a certain washing step n, the polyene recovery rate is represented by B _n / A _n , The recovery is represented by [1- ( _Bn / _An )]. In the washing step (n + 1) subsequent to the washing step n, the recovery rate of the polyene is B _{n + 1} / A _{n + 1} , and the recovery rate of the polyene in the cleaning step (n + 1) is [1- (B _n / A _n ). ] × (B _{n + 1} / A _{n + 1} ). When the cleaning step is repeated a plurality of times, the sum of the recovery rates of polyene in each of these cleaning steps is the total recovery rate of polyene. Here, n = 0 corresponds to the operation of extracting and recovering unreacted polyene that is performed first after the completion of the polymerization step [II], and is usually n = 0 to 5.
The recovery rate of the polyene removed by the washing method (2) is obtained as a ratio of the weight of the polyene recovered as a condensate and the weight of the polyene not participating in the copolymerization.
In the present invention, the recovery of polyene is preferably 70% by mass or more, more preferably 75% by mass or more, further preferably 78% by mass or more, and most preferably 80% by mass or more. If the recovery rate of the polyene is less than 70% by mass, the gel component frequently occurs in the polymerization step [III], and the physical properties and processing performance of the produced graft copolymer may be reduced.

The molecular weight of the polymer produced in the polymerization step [III] can be controlled by the amount of hydrogenation, polymerization temperature, monomer concentration, polymerization pressure and the like. The composition of the polymer can be adjusted by changing the amount of the charged monomer. Also, a small amount of polyene can be added as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

The olefin-based copolymer composition obtained through the polymerization step [I], the polymerization step [II] and the polymerization step [III] needs to satisfy the following (a), (b) and (c).
(A) The ratio of the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [I], the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [II], and the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [III] to the olefin-based graft copolymer composition is respectively 5 to 90% by mass.
(B) The intrinsic viscosity [η] of the olefin-based graft copolymer composition is 0.05 to 15 deciliter / g.
(C) The gel component content of the olefin-based graft copolymer composition obtained in the thermal para-xylene dissolution test is 25% by mass or less.
The ratio of the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [I], the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [II], and the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [III] to the olefin-based graft copolymer composition is preferably polymerization. Step [I] / polymerization step [II] / polymerization step [III] = 5 to 80% by weight / 5 to 80% by weight / 5 to 80% by weight, and more preferably polymerization step [I] / polymerization step [II] ] / Polymerization step [III] = 6 to 75% by weight / 10 to 75% by weight / 10 to 75% by weight, and more preferably polymerization step [I] / polymerization step [II] / polymerization step [III] = 8 To 70% by mass / 15 to 70% by mass / 15 to 70% by mass, and most preferably polymerization step [I] / polymerization step [II] / polymerization step [III] = 10 to 50% by mass / 25 to 60% by mass. % / 25 to 60% by mass. If the proportion of the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [I] in the olefin-based graft copolymer composition is less than 5% by mass, a gel component is generated, which may cause deterioration in physical properties and appearance deterioration due to stress concentration. There is. When the ratio of the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [II] or the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [III] to the olefin-based graft copolymer composition is less than 5% by mass, the present invention has a compatibilizing function and the like. Does not have enough effect to achieve its purpose. If the proportion of the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [I] in the olefin-based graft copolymer composition exceeds 90% by mass, the objects of the present invention such as a compatibilizing function cannot be achieved. Further, when the ratio of the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [II] or the polymer obtained in the polymerization step [III] to the olefin-based graft copolymer composition exceeds 90% by mass, a gel component is generated, There is a possibility that physical properties may be deteriorated or the appearance may be deteriorated due to stress concentration.

The intrinsic viscosity [η] of the olefin-based graft copolymer composition produced in the polymerization step [III] measured at 135 ° C. in a decalin solvent needs to be 0.05 to 15 deciliters / g, but is preferably It is 0.07 to 13 deciliter / g, more preferably 0.1 to 12 deciliter / g, and most preferably 0.2 to 10 deciliter / g. When the intrinsic viscosity [η] is less than 0.05 deciliter / g, physical properties such as rigidity and impact resistance are reduced, and when the intrinsic viscosity is more than 15 deciliter / g, moldability is reduced.
In the present invention, the gel component is defined as the amount of the hot paraxylene insoluble portion, and the measuring method thereof will be described later. In the composition obtained in the polymerization step [III], the content of the gel component is 25% by mass or less, preferably 20% by mass or less, more preferably 18% by mass or less, and still more preferably 15% by mass or less. Most preferably, it is at most 12% by mass. When the content of the gel component in the composition obtained in the polymerization step [III] exceeds 25% by mass, gel is generated on the surface of the molded body, causing stress concentration, resulting in deterioration of physical properties and poor appearance.

In the polymer produced in the polymerization step [III], the molecular weight distribution is not particularly limited, and may be in a usual range. Preferably, the ratio Mw / Mn of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the number average molecular weight (Mn) measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography) is in the range of 1.5 to 25, and 1.7 to 1.7. 20 is more preferred. Usually, the molecular weight distribution is almost determined by the catalyst to be used. However, in order to expand the molecular weight distribution, in the polymerization step [III], for example, the hydrogen concentration, the polymerization pressure, the polymerization temperature, the polymerization in the polymerization step [III] Conditions for changing the molecular weight, such as the amount, may be changed.
In the polymer produced in the polymerization step [III], the polyene content is usually more than 0 and 25 mol% or less, preferably more than 0 and 23 mol% or less, more preferably more than 0 and 18 mol% or less.

When the polyene content is 0, the effect as a desired resin compatibilizer and the effect of improving the melt fluidity in the present invention are poor, and when the polyene content exceeds 25 mol%, the melt fluidity is inferior. .

重合 The polymer produced in the polymerization step [III] has the following long-chain branches (1) to (3). The long-chain branch (1) is a long-chain branch generated by graft polymerization of the monomer used in the polymerization step [III] to the polyene residue of the polymer in the polymerization step [II], ) Is a long chain branch formed by copolymerization of the mocromonomer produced in the polymerization step [II] with the monomer used in the polymerization step [III], and long chain branch (3) is produced in the polymerization step [III]. It is a long-chain branch consisting of a reaction between the produced macromonomer and the polyene copolymer produced in the polymerization step [II]. The polymer produced in the polymerization step [III] may have a part of the long-chain branches (4) to (6) generated in the polymerization step [II]. That is, (4) a branch formed by a polyene, (5) a branch formed by a macromonomer, and (6) a branch formed by a polymerization reaction involving both a polyene and an olefin-based macromonomer. It may have a chain branch.

As a method for detecting long-chain branching, there are (a) an evaluation method based on the dependency of the melt viscosity on the shear rate, and (b) an evaluation method based on GPC-light scattering. Details of these methods are as described in the polymerization step [II].
In the evaluation method based on the shear rate dependence of the melt viscosity, the following formula (5)
1.05 ≦ N ¹ / N ⁰ ≦ 80 (5)
The case where it is satisfied is evaluated as a long chain branched structure.
In the above equation (5),
1.07 ≦ N ¹ / N ⁰ ≦ 70 is preferred,
1.08 ≦ N ¹ / N ⁰ ≦ 65 is more preferable,
1.09 ≦ N ¹ / N ⁰ ≦ 60 is more preferable,
1.10 ≦ N ¹ / N ⁰ ≦ 55 is most preferable.
If N ¹ / N ⁰ is less than 1.05, the number and length of long-chain branches are insufficient, so that the effect of improving moldability and compatibilizing function may be reduced. If N ¹ / N ⁰ exceeds 80, gel or the like may be generated, and the moldability may be reduced.

In the evaluation method using GPC-light scattering, when the ratio of α values [(α) ^L / (α) ^B ] is 1 or more, it is evaluated that a long chain branch exists. Here, (α) ^L indicates the α value of the linear polymer, and (α) ^B indicates the α value of the polymer in the polymerization step [II].
(Α) ^L / (α) ^B is
1.05 ≦ (α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 80 is preferred,
1.06 ≦ (α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 70 is more preferable,
1.07 ≦ (α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 60 is more preferable,
1.08 ≦ (α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 50 is still more preferable,
1.09 ≦ (α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 40 is still more preferable,
1.10 ≦ (α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 30 is more preferable,
1.11 ≦ (α) ^L / (α) ^B ≦ 20 is most preferable.
If (α) ^L / (α) ^B is less than 1.05, the number and length of long-chain branches are insufficient, and the effect of improving moldability and compatibilizing function may be reduced. If (α) ^L / (α) ^B exceeds 80, a gel or the like may be generated and the moldability may be reduced.

In the washing step (n + 1) subsequent to the washing step n, the recovery rate of the polyene is B _{n + 1} / A _{n + 1} , and the recovery rate of the polyene in the cleaning step (n + 1) is [1- (B _n / A _n ). ] × (B _{n + 1} / A _{n + 1} ).

In the first embodiment, n is 3.

Dissolved. The basket containing the para-xylene-insoluble portion was collected, dried sufficiently, and weighed to obtain the para-xylene-insoluble portion. The gel fraction (% by mass) defined as the hot paraxylene insoluble part was calculated by the following equation.
Gel fraction = [remaining amount in mesh (g) / prepared sample amount (g)] × 100
