A novel synthetic strategy for styrene–butadiene–styrene tri-block copolymer with high cis-1,4 units via changing catalytic active centres

A styrene–butadiene–styrene tri-block copolymer (SBS) with a high cis-1,4 unit content (greater than 97%) was synthesized by a novel synthetic strategy based on changing the catalytic active centres using n-butyllithium and a nickel-based catalyst. Firstly, styrene was polymerized via anionic polyme...
