  • Anionic polymerization methods for producing functionalized polymers
    Patent number: 9296832
    Abstract: A process for producing functional polymer, the process comprising the steps of reacting an anionic initiator including a functional group with a stabilizing monomer to produce a stabilized initiator, reacting the stabilized initiator with monomer capable of being anionically polymerized to produce a polymer, and terminating the polymer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2010
    Date of Patent: March 29, 2016
    Assignee: Bridgestone Corporation
