Abstract:
A novel star-comb polybutadiene(SC-PB) was synthesized with n-butyllithium(n-BuLi) as initiator,epoxidized star liquid polybutadiene(ESPB) as coupling agent,cyclohexane as solvent by living anionic polymerization and grafting-onto technology. The SC-PB was subsequently hydrogenated by homogeneous catalysis(catalytic hydrogenation using nickel naphthenate/ triisobutyl aluminum),to transform the SC-PB into the corresponding star-comb poly(ethylene-co-butene)(SC-PEB).The SC-PB was characterized by SEC-TALLS,~1...
