K. Endo et al., Synthesis of polyisoprene having terminal vinyl group and copolymerizationof the macromonomer with ethylene and propylene, EUR POLYM J, 35(8), 1999, pp. 1413-1417
Synthesis of polyisoprene macromonomer having terminal vinyl group and graf
t copolymerization of the macromonomer with ethylene and propylene was inve
stigated. The polyisoprene macromonomer having terminal vinyl group (VIPM)
was synthesized by a reaction of allyl chloride with living polyisoprene (P
IP) initiated with s-butyllithium (s-BuLi) catalyst. The graft copolymers c
onsisting of olefins and VIPM as a grafts was synthesized with classical Zi
egler-Natta catalyst from the copolymerizations of the prepared VIPM with e
thylene (E) and/or propylene (P). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
