<p>Hydroxy-terminated polymers of butadiene having two hydroxy groups per molecule are prepared by polymerizing butadiene in a chain transfer solvent at a temperature of from about 50.degree. to about 170.degree.C with t-butyl beta-hydroxyethyl peroxide as an initiator. These hydroxy-terminated polybutadienes are useful as coupling agents, e.g. to cross-link with various polymers or interpolymerize with various monomers that are reactive with terminal hydroxy groups.</p> |
