Disclosed herein are new, specifically modified, copolymers of pivalolactone with isoprene and/or butadiene. Also disclosed is a process for making copolymers comprising (1) polymerizing the diene with a lithium initiator and, optionally, metallating the resulting lithiopolydiene with an alkyllithium, (2) carboxylating the resulting polylithiopolydiene by reaction with carbon dioxide, (3) reacting the polymeric lithium carboxylate with tetraalkylammonium hydroxide or halide and (4) reacting the tetraalkylammonium salt with pivalolactone.
