HYDROCARBON POLYMERS COMPRISING A 2-OXO-1,3-DIOXOLAN-4-YL END GROUP, PREPARATION AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a method for preparing a hydrocarbon polymer comprising a 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl end group, by opening the cycle by metathesis in the presence of a metathesis catalyst, a vinyl ethylene carbonate chain transfer agent, and a compound including at least one C6-C16 cycle having a double carbon-carbon bond. The invention also relates to a hydrocarbon polymer that can be obtained by said method. The invention further relates to the use of said polymer as an adhesion promoter or reactive plasticiser in an adhesive composition.
