Synthesis and characterization of linear and star-branched butadiene-isoprene block copolymers and their hydrogenated derivatives

The principal purpose of this investigation was to synthesize and hydrogenate well-characterized linear and star-branched block copolymers based on butadiene and isoprene. Sequential anionic addition techniques initiated by homogeneous organolithium species in hydrocarbon solvents were employed...
