Copolymerization of 1,3-butadiene with phenyl/phenethyl substituted 1,3-butadienes: a direct strategy to access pendant phenyl functionalized polydienes

Abstract

Copolymerization of 1,3-butadiene with various phenyl substituted 1,3-butadiene derivatives to access pendant phenyl functionalized polydiene elastomers is reported.

Anionic polymerization of phenyl-substituted isoprene derivatives: polymerization behaviour and cyclization-enabled fluorescence

“…12,13 As an example, the 1-phenyl-1,3-butadiene (PhB) monomer has been polymerized via either anionic or catalytic approaches. [14][15][16][17] It can be considered as a β-substituted styrene or as a 1-phenyl-substituted 1,3-butadiene. 18 This combination of two very established monomers provides an intriguing perspective.…”
