摘要:
A thermoplastic elastomer produced without a hydrogenation step is functionalized utilizing a free radical initiator and a functionalizing monomer having at least one point of unsaturation. The base polymers can be produced by copolymerizing an .alpha.-olefin capable of producing an amorphous backbone with a comonomer which provides a "hook" for grafting to with a living polystyrene chain. Another method is to copolymerize an .alpha.-olefin monomer system capable of producing an amorphous backbone with a comonomer containing a functional group from which an anionically polymerizable monomer is grown from the backbone. A third method involves copolymerizing an .alpha.-olefin monomer system capable of giving an amorphous backbone with an olefin-terminated polystyrene comonomer. In a less preferred embodiment, a conventional EPDM polymer can be metallated and a monoalkenyl aromatic compound anionically polymerizable monomer grown from the backbone.

摘要:
A method of producing graft block copolymers which comprises (a) grafting a halosilane of the formula HSiX.sub.n R.sub.3-n wherein X is halogen, R is alkyl or aryl, and n=1-3, onto a .alpha.-olefin/diene copolymer made from at least one .alpha.-olefin and at least one diene, (b) anionically polymerizing at least one anionically polymerizable monomer to form living polymer chains, and (c) reacting the products of (a) and (b) together wherein the living polymer chains react with the halosilane groups on the .alpha.-olefin/diene copolymer and are added thereto as pendant side chains.
