DESCRIPTION VINYL-CIS-POLYBUTADIENE RUBBER AND BUTADIENE RUBBER COMPOSITION USING THE SAME Technical Field The present invention relates to a novel vinyl-cis-polybutadiene rubber produced by concurrently allowing 1,2-polybutadiene of a high melting point of 170°C or more and polyisoprene or polybutadiene of a low melting point to exist and be dispersed in the matrix of cis-polybutadiene rubber. Further, the invention relates to a butadiene rubber composition using the vinyl-cis-polybutadiene rubber. Background of the Invention In the molecular chain of polybutadiene, a binding portion generated by 1,4 polymerization (1,4 structure) and a binding portion generated by 1,2 polymerization (1,2 structure) concurrently exist as so-called microstructure. The 1,4 structure is divided in two types of structures, namely cis structure and trans structure. Alternatively, the 1,2 structure takes a structure with vinyl group as a side chain. A method for producing vinyl-cis-polybutadiene rubber composition in the related art has been carried out in inert organic solvents such as aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and xylene and halogenated hydrocarbons thereof for example chlorobenzene. When solvents such as aromatic hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons are used, however, the resulting polymerization solution has such a high viscosity that the agitation, heat transmission and transfer thereof are troublesome, which requires excessive energy for the recovery of such solvent. Additionally, solvents such as aromatic hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons are very hazardous for environment, due to the toxicity and carcinogenesis. As the production method, a method including a step of producing cis-polybutadiene rubber by cis-1,4 polymerization of 1,3-butadiene using a catalyst obtained from water, a soluble cobalt compound and an organic aluminum chloride represented by the general formula AlRnXa-n (provided that R is an alkyl group with one to 6 carbon atoms, phenyl group or cycloalkyl group; X is a halogen element; and n is a numerical figure of 1.5 to 2) in the inert organic solvent, and a step of syndiotactic 1,2 polymerization (abbreviated as "1,2 polymerization" hereinafter) of 1,3-butadiene in the presence of a syndiotactic 1,2 polymerization catalyst obtained from a soluble cobalt compound, an organic aluminum compound represented by the general formula A1R3 (provided that R is an alkyl group with one to 6 carbon atoms, phenyl group or cycloalkyl group) and carbon disulfide, with addition or no addition of 1,3-butadiene and/or the solvent to the resulting polymerization system is known (see for example JP-B-49-17666 (patent reference 1) and JP-B-49-17667 (patent reference 2)). Additionally, for example, JP-B-62-171 (patent reference 3) , JP-B-63-36324 (patent reference 4) , JP-B-2-37927 (patent reference 5), JP-B-2-38081 (patent reference 6) , and JP-B-3-63566 (patent reference 7) describe methods including a step of producing vinyl-cis-polybutadiene rubber composition by cis-1,4 polymerization of 1,3-butadiene in the presence or absence of carbon disulfide, and methods including a step of separating and recovering 1,3-butadiene and carbon disulfide to recycle 1,3-butadiene substantially never containing carbon disulfide and the inert organic solvent. Further, JP-B-4-48815 (patent reference 8) describes a rubber composition with a small die swell ratio of compounded material, of which the vulcanized product has an excellent tensile strength and a great flex-crack-growth resistance preferable as the sidewall of tire. Additionally, JP-A-2000-44633 (patent reference 9) describes a method for producing vinyl-cis-polybutadiene rubber in an inert organic solvent containing C4 distillates such as n-butane, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, and butene-1 as the main components. JP-A-2000-44633 describes that 1,2-polybutadiene contained in the rubber composition according to the method is a crystal in short fiber, where 98 % or more of the fiber length is less than 0.6 um in the distribution of the crystal in short fiber along major axis; and 70 % or more thereof is less than 0.2 Um and that the resulting rubber composition has improved moldability of cis-l,4-polybutadiene, tensile stress, tensile strength and flex-crack-growth resistance. However, a rubber composition with improved various properties has been demanded for some use.

A butadiene rubber composition for tire, where the vinyl•cis-polybutadiene rubber obtained by the production method described in any of 14. through 18. above and/or the butadiene rubber composition described in 12, 13 or 19 above is used. In a preferable embodiment, the vinyl-cis- polybutadiene rubber of the invention (abbreviated as "VCR" hereinafter) is a novel VCR where the 1,2-polybutadiene is 1,2-polybutadiene of a melting point of 170°C or more, where the polymer substance of a melting point lower than that of the 1,2-polybutadiene and with at least one unsaturated double bond per repeating unit (sometimes abbreviated as ^unsaturated polymer substance" hereinafter) is at least one selected from polyisoprene, crystallizable polybutadiene of a melting point less than 170°C, liquid polybutadiene and derivatives thereof, and where the 1,2-polybutadiene of a melting point of 170°C or more and the unsaturated polymer substance are present concurrently in the matrix of cis-polybutadiene rubber and are dispersed therein. Owing to the concurrent presence of 1,2-polybutadiene of a high melting point exerting very strong interaction between polymers as a very excellent reinforcing component and such unsaturated polymer substance with a relatively low melting point such as polyisoprene, consequently, the VCR in accordance with the invention has remarkably improved dispersibility of the 1,2-polybutadiene of a high melting point in the cis-polybutadiene rubber as the matrix component due to the compatible effect of the concurrently present unsaturated polymer substance, compared with the VCR in the related art, so that the content of the 1,2-polybutadiene of a high melting point as an excellent reinforcing component can be raised. The characteristics of the VCR in accordance with the invention as described above enable great improvement of various physico-chemical properties strongly demanded in the production of tire articles and in other uses. When the VCR of the invention is used in a butadiene rubber composition for tire, in particular, the composition has such a small die swell ratio (as the ratio of the diameter of the compounded material to die orifice diameter during extrusion) during tire production, so that the composition exerts great extrusion processability and operability. Additionally, the vulcanized product of the composition exerts excellent break-resistant properties, abrasion resistance, sliding friction resistance and the like mainly required for side tread of tire and the like. Because the flex-crack-growth resistance thereof is very great and the rigidity thereof is high, further, the amount of reinforcing materials such as carbon and silica to be used can be reduced, enabling low fuel consumption owing to the weight decrease of tire. Thus, tire using the VCR of the invention as a raw material for side treads and the like exerts excellent running stability and high-speed durability and additionally enables low fuel consumption.

Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention The VCR of the invention generally has the following constitution. Specifically, the VCR generally contains (1) one to 50 parts by mass of 1,2-polybutadiene of a melting point of 170°C or more; (2) 100 parts by mass of cis-polybutadiene rubber and (3) an unsaturated polymer substance at 0.01 to 50 % by mass of the total of (1) and (2) . Additionally/ the 1,2-polybutadiene of a melting point of 170°C or more as the component (1) generally forms a crystal fiber with the mean length of the mono-dispersed fiber crystal along short axis being 0.2 um or less and an aspect ratio being 10 or less, which is in a short fiber form with the mean number of the mono-dispersed fiber crystal being 10 or more. The crystal fiber of the 1,2-polybutadiene as the component (1) is in a short fiber form of the mean length of the mono-dispersed fiber crystal along short axis being 0.2 um or less, preferably 0.1 um or less; with an aspect ratio of 10 or less, preferably 8 or less; and with the mean number of the mono-dispersed fiber crystal being 10 or more, preferably 15 or more, and additionally of a melting point of 170°C or more, preferably 190 to 220°C. The cis-polybutadiene rubber as the component (2) preferably has the following characteristics. In other words, the cis-polybutadiene rubber as the component (2) has a Mooney viscosity (MLi+4 100°C abbreviated as "ML" hereinafter) of preferably 10 to 50, more preferably 10 to 40. In such manner, effectively, the operability during compounding is improved, while the dispersion of the component (1) in the component (2) is improved. Additionally, the cis-polybutadiene rubber as the component (2) has preferably the following characteristics. In other words, the viscosity thereof in toluene solution (centipoise/25°C abbreviated as "T-cp" hereinafter) is preferably 10 to 150, more preferably 10 to 100; and [r\] (intrinsic viscosity) is 1.0 to 5.0, preferably 1.0 to 4.0. Additionally, the content ratio of the 1,4-cis structure is 80 % by mass or more, preferably 90 % by mass or more. Additionally, the cis-polybutadiene rubber as the component (2) substantially never contains gel matters. Herein, the phrase "substantially never containing gel matters" means that toluene-insoluble matters are at 0.5 % by mass or less. The end and/or main chain of the polybutadiene rubber obtained by the cis-1,4 polymerization may be modified. As such modifier, organic silicone compounds containing at least amino group and alkoxy group, organic silicone compounds containing alkoxy group, unsaturated carboxylic acid or derivatives thereof, halogen-series compounds, and compounds with hetero-three membered-rings may be used. The amount of such modifier to be used is 0.01 to 150 mmol per lOOg of the generated polybutadiene (polybutadiene rubber) . When the amount of the modifier to be used is less, the modification effect is hardly exerted. When the amount thereof to be used is too much, the modifier still unreactive is likely to remain in polybutadiene. It requires laborious works to eliminate the modifier, unpreferably. Herein, the Mooney viscosity of the modified product is preferably increased by one or more, compared with the original rubber before modification. So as to promote the reaction, organic peroxides can be added. Preferably, the modified polybutadiene obtained by the method has a Mooney viscosity (MLi+4, 100°C) within a range of 20 to 80 and has a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 1,000,000 by gel permeation method, where 80 % by mass or more of the repeating unit has cis-1,4 structure. Additionally, the content of the vinyl structure in the mi cros true ture is preferably 15 % by mass or less. Herein, the toluene-insoluble matters express gel matters attached on a metal net after filtration, by completely dissolving 10 g of a sample rubber and 400 ml of toluene in an Erlenmeyer flask at RT (25°C) and filtering the resulting solution, using a filtration device arranged with the metal net of 200 mesh. The ratio expresses a value measured by drying the net attached with the gel in vacuum to measure the attached amount thereof to calculate the percentage to the sample rubber. Additionally, [t\] (intrinsic viscosity) is a value determined according to the following formula, by placing 0.1 g of a sample rubber and 100 ml of toluene in an Erlenmeyer flask, completely dissolving the sample rubber at 30°C, subsequently placing the solution of 10 ml in a Canon Penske dynamic viscometer in a thermostat water bath controlled at 30°C, and measuring the drop time (T) of the solution. r\sp = T/To - 1 (T0: drop time of toluene alone) tisp/c = [ti] + k' tnl2C (t^sp: specific viscosity; k':Huggins constant (0.37); C: sample concentration (g/ml)) The ratio between the 1,2-polybutadiene crystal fiber as the component (1) and the cis-polybutadiene as the component (2) is one to 50 parts by mass, preferably one to 30 parts by mass of the 1,2-polybutadiene crystal fiber as the component (1) to 100 parts by mass of the cis-polybutadiene as the component (2) . Within the range, the following drawbacks can be avoided: when the amount of the 1,2-polyutadiene crystal fiber is so large to exceed 50 parts by mass, the short fiber crystal of the 1,2-polybutadiene crystal fiber in the cis-polybutadiene rubber is likely to be large, causing poor dispersibility thereof; when the amount of the 1,2-polyutadiene crystal fiber is small less than one part by mass, the reinforcibility with the short fiber crystal is deteriorated. Thus, problems hardly occur, such that the characteristic elastic modulus, flex-crack-growth resistance, and oxidation degradation are exerted with difficulty and the processability is deteriorated. Therefore, the range is preferable. Further, the ratio of the unsaturated polymer substance as the component (3) is 0.01 to 50 % by mass, preferably 0.01 to 30 % by mass of VCR, as described above. The range is preferable because the deterioration of* the dispersibility due to the aggregation of the 1,2-polybutadiene crystal fiber as the component (1) can be suppressed, and an associated deterioration of the various physico-chemical properties of VCR can be suppressed. Further, the ratio of the I,2-polybutadiene of a melting point of 170°C or more as the component (1) and the unsaturated polymer substance as the component (3) is 0.02 to 100 parts by mass, preferably 0.05 to 80 parts by mass of the component (3) per 100 parts by mass of the component (1) . Additionally, the total amount of the components (1) and (3) is 1.01 to 100 parts by mass, preferably 1.03 to 90 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the cis-polybutadiene rubber as the component (2). The method for producing VCR in accordance with the invention is described below in detail. For the VCR production in accordance with the invention, generally, 1,3-butadiene is polymerized, using a hydrocarbon-series solvent. The hydrocarbon-series solvent is preferably a hydrocarbon-series solvent with a solubility parameter (abbreviated as "SP value" hereinafter) of 9.0 or less and is more preferably a hydrocarbon-series solvent with a solubility parameter of 8.4 or less. The hydrocarbon-series solvent with a solubility parameter of 9.0 or less includes for example aliphatic hydrocarbons and alicyclic hydrocarbons, such as n-hexane (SP value: 7.2), n-pentane (SP value: 7.0), n-octane (SP value: 7.5), cyclohexane (SP value: 8.1) and n-butane (SP value: 6.6). Among them, for example, cyclohexane is preferable. The SP values of these solvents are known in references such as Rubber Industry Manual (Gomu Kogyo Binran) (the 4th edition, Nippon Rubber Association Foundation (Nippon Gomu Kyokai), issued on January 20, 1994, page 721). By using a solvent with an SP value smaller than 9.0, preferably, the dispersion of the short fiber crystal of the 1,2-polybutadiene crystal fiber in the cis- polybutadiene rubber is at a state expected in accordance with the invention, so that excellent die swell characteristic, high tensile stress, tensile strength and high flex-crack-growth performance can be preferably exerted. First, 1,3-butadiene and the solvent are mixed together, to adjust the concentration of water in the resulting solution. Water is within a range of preferably 0.1 to 1.0 mole, particularly preferably 0.2 to 1.0 mole per one mole of an organic aluminum chloride used as the cis-1,4 polymerization catalyst in the solution. The range is preferable because sufficient catalytic activity can be obtained to provide a preferable content and molecular weight of cis-1,4 structure and because gel occurrence during polymerization can be suppressed, to prevent gel adhesion onto polymerization tanks or the like, so that continuous polymerization time can be prolonged. As the method for adjusting water concentration, known methods are applicable. A method of addition and dispersion through porous filters (JP-A-4-85304) is effective. To the solution obtained by adjusting water concentration is added an organic aluminum chloride as one of cis-1,4 polymerization catalysts. As such organic aluminum chloride, a compound represented by the general formula AlRnX3-n is preferably used. Specific examples thereof preferably include diethy1aluminum monochloride, diethylaluminum monobromide, di is obu tyl alumi num monochloride, dicyclohexylaluminum monochloride, diphenylaluminum monochloride, and diethylaluminum sesquichloride. The amount of such organic aluminum chloride to be used is preferably 0.1 mmol or more, 0.5 to 50 mmol per one mole of the total amount of 1,3-butadiene. Then, a soluble cobalt compound as another one of the cis-1,4 polymerization catalysts is added to a mixture solution to which the organic aluminum chloride is preliminarily added, for the cis-1,4 polymerization of 1,3-butadiene. Such soluble cobalt compound includes those soluble in hydrocarbon-series solvents or liquid 1,3-butadiene to be used or uniformly dispersible ones therein, for example cobalt P-diketone complex, such as cobalt (II) acetylacetonate and cobalt (III) acetylacetonate, cobalt 0-keto acid ester complex, such as cobalt acetoacetic acid ethyl ester complex, cobalt salts of organic carboxylic acids with 6 or more carbon atoms, such as cobalt octoate, cobalt naphthenate and cobalt benzoate, and halogenated cobalt complexes such as cobalt chloride pyridine complex and cobalt chloride ethyl alcohol complex. The amount of such soluble cobalt compound to be used is preferably 0.001 mmol or more, more preferably 0.005 mmol or more per one mole of 1,3-butadiene. The molar ratio (Al/Co) of an organic aluminum chloride to such soluble cobalt compound is 10 or more, particularly 50 or more. Still additionally, organic carboxylate salts of nickel, organic complex salts of nickel, organic lithium compounds, organic carboxylate salts of neodymium and organic complex salts of neodymium may also be used other than the soluble cobalt compound. The temperature for the cis-1,4 polymerization is generally within a range of a temperature above 0°C to 100°C, preferably 10 to 100°C, more preferably 20 to 100°C. Polymerization time (mean retention time) is preferably within a range of 10 minutes to 2 hours. The cis-1,4 polymerization is preferably done so that the polymer concentration after the cis-1,4 polymerization may be 5 to 26 % by mass. As the polymerization tank, one tank or two or more tanks in conjugation are used. The polymerization is carried out while the solution is mixed together under agitation in the polymerization tank (polymerization apparatus) . As the polymerization tank for use in polymerization, a polymerization tank equipped with an agitation unit for highly viscous solution, for example the apparatus described in JP-B-40-2645, can be used. For the VCR production in accordance with the invention, known molecular weight adjusters, for example non-conjugated dienes such as cyclooctadiene, allene and methylallene (1,2-butadiene) or a-olefins such as ethylene, propylene and butene-1 can be used during the cis-1,4 polymerization. So as to further suppress gel generation during polymerization, known gelation-preventing agents can be used. Additionally, the content of the cis-1,4 structure in the polymerized product is generally 80 % by mass or more, preferably 90 % by mass or more, with ML10 to 50, preferably 10 to 40 and with substantially no content of gel matters. 1,3-Butadiene is 1,2 polymerized to produce VCR, by adding an organic aluminum compound represented by the general formula A1R3 and carbon sulfide, and the soluble cobalt compound if necessary as the 1,2 polymerization catalyst, to the cis-1,4 polymerization mixture thus obtained. Then, the resulting 1,3-butadiene may be added to the polymerization mixture. Otherwise, the resulting 1,3-butadiene may not be added to the polymerization mixture but unreactive 1,3-butadiene may be reacted. The organic aluminum compound represented by the general formula A1R3 preferably includes trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum, triisobutylaluminum, tri(n-hexyl)aluminum and triphenylaluminum. The organic aluminum compound is at 0.1 mmol or more, particularly 0.5 to 50 mmol or more per one mole of 1,3-butadiene. Without specific limitation, carbon disulfide preferably never contains moisture. The concentration of carbon disulfide is 20 mmol/L or less, particularly preferably 0.01 to 10 mmol/L. As an alternative of carbon disulfide, known isothiocyanate phenyl and xanthogenic acid compounds may be used. The temperature for the 1,2 polymerization is -generally within a range of 0 to 100°C, preferably 10 to 100°C, more preferably 20 to 100°C. The yield of 1,2-polybutadiene can be raised during 1,2 polymerization, by adding one to 50 parts by mass, preferably one to 20 parts by mass of 1,3-butadiene per 100 parts by mass of the cis-1,4 polymerization mixture to the polymerization system for 1,2 polymerization. The polymerization time (mean retention time) is preferably within a range of 10 minutes to 2 hours. The 1,2 polymerization is preferably carried out so that the polymer concentration after the 1,2 polymerization might be 9 to 29 % by mass. As the polymerization tank, one tank or two or more tanks in conjugation are used. The polymerization is carried out while the polymerization solution is mixed together under agitation in the polymerization tank (polymerization apparatus). As the polymerization tank for use in the 1,2 polymerization, a polymerization tank equipped with an agitation unit for highly viscous solution, for example the apparatus described in JP-B-40-2645, can be used, because the viscosity of the polymerization solution is increased during the 1,2 polymerization and the polymer apts to be attached. For the VCR production in accordance with the invention, the process of producing VCR by the cis-1,4 polymerization and subsequent 1,2 polymerization as described above includes a step of adding a polymer substance of a low melting point and with at least one unsaturated double bond per repeating unit to the VCR production system. When the unsaturated polymer substance is added after VCR production, for example during compounding, the advantage of the invention cannot be obtained. The addition of such unsaturated polymer substance to a production system is preferably done into the polymerization mixture at an appropriate time point from the cis-1,4 polymerization to the 1,2 polymerization, more preferably at the time of the 1,2 polymerization. The unsaturated polymer substance preferably is at least one selected from polyisoprene, crystallizable polybutadiene of a melting point less than 170°C, liquid polybutadiene, a polymeric compound containing oxygen bond, and derivatives thereof. Polyisoprene includes for example general synthetic polyisoprene (cis-1,4-polyisoprene at a content of the cis structure of 90 % by mass or more, etc.) , liquid polyisoprene, and trans-polyisoprene. The crystallizable polybutadiene of a melting point less than 170°C is preferably a crystallizable polybutadiene of a melting point of 0°C to 150°C, which includes for example 1,2-polybutadiene and trans-polybutadiene with low melting points.

Additionally, the individual unsaturated polymer substances may be used singly or in mixture of two or more thereof. When the unsaturated polymer substances as described above are added, the dispersibility of the 1,2-polybutadiene of a melting point of 170°C or more in the cis-polybutadiene rubber as the matrix component can be prominently improved owing to the compatible effect of the unsaturated polymer substance in the resulting VCR, as described above, so that the characteristics of the resulting VCR are so excellent.

According to the VCR production method, the VCR of the invention can be produced continuously for a long period of time, industrially advantageously, at a high catalyst efficiency and with high processability of the catalyst component. Industrially advantageously at a high conversion ratio, the VCR can be continuously produced, particularly without any attachment to the inner wall or agitation wing inside the polymerization tank or to a part with a slow agitation. The VCR of the invention is used singly for use as tire or is used therefor by being compounded with other synthetic rubber or natural rubber, extended with process oil if necessary and vulcanized with addition of fillers such as carbon black, vulcanizing agents, vulcanization-accelerators and other general compounding agents. With no specific limitation to any tire member, the VCR is used for side wall, or tread, stiffener, bead filler, inner liner, caucus, tire cord coating, and base tread. With no specific limitation to tire types, the VCR is used for highly rigid tire, vehicle tire, tires of large vehicles such as bus and truck, forklift tire, van-light truck tire, SUV (for use in 4 x 4) tire, motor cycle tire, stud-less tire, and radial tire.

Further, the VCR may be used as plastic modifiers. Compositions prepared by adding the compounding agents to the VCR of the invention and kneading the resulting mixture together have lowered die swell ratios of 20 or less on an index basis, compared with VCR in the related art (lowered such value represents excellency) and have therefore very great extrusion processability. Additionally, the VCR composition (compounded material) in accordance with the invention when vulcanized has got improved hardness and tensile stress. The VCR composition has particularly improved 100-% tensile stress and has the increase around 40 on an index basis compared with the VCR obtained by the methods of the related art (increased such value represents excellency) and a greatly improved reinforcing effect. Furthermore, the VCR Composition has greatly improved flex- crack" -growth resistance around 30 on an index basis (increased such value represents excellency) and exerts an effect of suppressing flex crack. Additionally, the permeability of gases such as oxygen as a thermo-resistant property demanded toward run flat tire and the like is lowered by around 5 (lower such value represents excellency) on an index basis, compared with the VCR obtained by methods of the related art, exerting an effect on the suppression of heat involved in oxidative deterioration.

In other words, the mono-dispersed 1,2-polybutadiene crystal fiber in the BR matrix is preferably in a short fiber of the mean length of the mono-dispersed fiber crystal along short axis being 0.2 \m or less, an aspect ratio of 10 or less, the mean number of the mono-dispersed fiber crystal being 10 or more and a melting point of 170°C or more. In addition to the 1,2-poybutadiene crystal fiber of a melting point of 170°C or more, preferably, the unsaturated polymer substance is dispersed in the BR matrix. The unsaturated polymer substance preferably has high affinity with the 1,2-polybutadiene crystal fiber in the BR matrix, and is dispersed therein at a state of physical and chemical adsorption in the vicinity of the crystal fiber (dispersion modes of Figs. 2 to 4) . As described above, the concurrent dispersion of the 1,2-polybutadiene crystal fiber of a melting point of 170°C or more and the unsaturated polymer substance in the BR matrix makes the various properties excellent, preferably.
