Abstract:
Disclosed are single step and multi-step methods of making functional polyisobutylene (PIB)-containing oligomers and polymers and the materials made thereby. In the single step method a functional group containing PIB oligomer or polymer is made under cationic polymerization conditions in a direct, one step reaction. In the multi-step method a functional group containing PIB oligomer or polymer is made in a two-step process. The first step is performed under cationic polymerization conditions. The second step is performed under non-cationic polymerization conditions.
