METHOD OF MAKING HYDROXYARYL-FUNCTIONALIZED INTERPOLYMER BY FREE RADICAL INITIATED POLYMERIZATION

摘要

Radical polymerization techniques can be used to polymerize monomers that include a class of hydroxyaryl compounds so as to provide polymers that exhibit desirable properties including, but not limited to, reduced hysteresis. Compositions such as vulcanizates in which such polymers can be utilized and products such as tire components that incorporate and/or are manufactured from such compositions also are provided.
