Abstract
The microstructure and sequence distribution of a styrene-ethylene-but ene-l copolymer obtained by quantitative hydrogenation of emulsion sty rene-butadiene rubber (SBR) was determined using C-13 NMR. The results show that the polymer has 82% (CH2)(>6) units arising due to BBB', SB B and BBB triads (B = hydrogenated 1,4 butadiene, B' = butene-land S = styrene). The presence of long crystallizable methylene sequences res ults in a melting endotherm at 45 degrees C for the hydrogenated SBR.
