BIFUNCTIONALIZED POLYMER

摘要

A bifunctionalized elastomer comprising the reaction product of 1) a living anionic elastomeric polymer initiated with a functional initiator and 2) a functional polymerization terminator is disclosed. The living anionic elastomeric polymer initiated with the functional initiator is of formula AYLi where Y is a divalent polymer radical, Li is a lithium atom bonded to a carbon atom of Y, and A is an amine-containing radical.
