A method for hydrogenating a polymer containing vinyl aromatic block and the hydrogenated polymer are provided. The method includes providing a polymer having at least one vinyl aromatic block; and hydrogenating the polymer in presence of a heterogeneous catalyst on a support, wherein the heterogeneous catalyst consists essentially of Ru, Zn and B, or Ru, Zn and P.

Method for hydrogenating polymer and hydrogenated polymer thereof

The present invention discloses a method for producing an epoxidized polymer. The method comprises the steps of: (1) providing a polymer solution containing a polymer having a conjugated diene group; (2) providing a catalyst solution dissolved in the polymer solution, the catalyst solution containing a transition metal ion and a ligand for bonding to the transition metal ion, the transition metal ion being selected from the group consisting of Ti, Mn, V, Mo, W and any combination thereof; and (3) epoxidizing double bonds of the conjugated diene group to produce the epoxidized polymer by providing an epoxidizing agent dissolved in the polymer solution containing the catalyst solution, wherein the epoxidizing agent is meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA) or analogs thereof.

Method for producing epoxidized polymer

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a substantially hydrogenated vinyl aromatic/conjugated diene block copolymer, which has a hydrogenation level of greater than 90 percent. The resulting substantially hydrogenated vinyl aromatic/conjugated diene block copolymer has advantageous physical properties suitable for use in discs, optical films, light guide plates, etc.
