Polymer, processes for producing polymer and composition

摘要

The present invention relates to a vinyl polymer terminated in a silanol group, a hydrolyzable silyl group or an acrylic functional group, to a method of producing a vinyl polymer having a hydrolyzable silyl group at one or more termini thereof which comprises reacting a vinyl polymer having a silanol group at one or more termini thereof with a silicon compound having two or more silicon atom-bound hydrolyzable groups, and a method of producing a vinyl polymer having an acrylic functional group at one or more termini thereof which comprises reacting a vinyl polymer having a silanol group at one or more termini thereof with a silicon compound represented by the general formula (3): XSiR₂-G-O-C(O)C(L)=CH₂ (3) wherein X is a hydrolyzable group.
