Chlorine derivatives of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene

It is shown that chlorine-containing polymeric products may be produced on the basis of the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene by incorporating chlorine atoms into macromolecules via double carbon-carbon bonds. The functionalization of the polydiene with halogen atoms markedly changes the viscosity of solutions, flowability of the melt, and thermal stability of polymeric products. Chlorine derivatives of the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene may be used as high-molecular-mass modifiers improving rheological properties of polymeric compounds in poly(vinyl chloride)-based polymeric composites.
