A modified conjugated diene-based polymer, which is a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 below:
- wherein R2 is
- or a C1-C50 alkyl group, Pn and Pm are polymers comprising a conjugated diene monomer and a conjugated aromatic monomer as main components, with a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 10,000,000 g/mol, and including an acryl, amine, ether or thioether monomer, Pn and Pm are identical to or different from each other, a is 1 to 3, b is 0 to 3, n is 1 to 20, and m is 0 to 20.
A method of preparing a modified conjugated diene-based polymer, comprising:
- a) polymerizing a conjugated diene monomer or a conjugated diene monomer and an aromatic vinyl monomer using a hydrocarbon solvent in presence of an organo-alkali metal compound, thus forming an active polymer having an alkali metal end;
- and
- b) coupling or linking the active polymer having the alkali metal end with a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 below, yielding a modified conjugated diene-based polymer, which is a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 below:
- wherein R1 is
- or a C1-C50 alkyl group, n is 1 to 20, and m is 0 to 20;
- and
- wherein R2 is
- or a C1-C50 alkyl group, Pn and Pm are polymers comprising a conjugated diene monomer and a conjugated aromatic monomer as main components, with a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 10,000,000 g/mol, and including an acryl, amine, ether or thioether monomer, Pn and Pm are identical to or different from each other, a is 1 to 3, b is 0 to 3, n is 1 to 20, and m is 0 to 20.
A modifier, which is a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 below:
- wherein R1 is
- or a C1-C50 alkyl group, n is 1 to 20, and m is 0 to 20.
A modified conjugated diene-based polymer rubber composition, comprising 10 to 100 parts by weight of the modified conjugated diene-based polymer of claim 1 and 0.1 to 200 parts by weight of an inorganic filler based on 100 parts by weight of the modified conjugated diene-based polymer.
