<p>An amorphous polymer chain in an elastomer is prepared by forming a crystallisable oligomer having a repeating unit comprising regularly arranged monomer units, and reacting the repeating unit at both ends thereof to effect extension of its chain length. The method involves selecting the kind of the monomer units to be introduced into the repeating unit, selecting the number of said monomer units in the oligomer, selecting the molecular weight distribution of the repeating unit comprising the monomer units, and selecting a linkage unit comprising a compound which reacts with terminals of the repeating units and inhibits crystallisation of the repeating unit after the reaction, thereby controlling the crystallisability of the polymer chain.</p> |
