Utilization of steric hindrance of alkyl lithium-based initiator to synthesize high 1,4 unit-containing hydroxyl- terminated polybutadiene

A novel alkyl lithium-based initiator with relatively large steric hindrance, tert-butyldimethylsiloxydimethylpropyl lithium (TBDMSODPrLi), was designed and synthesized. By using TBDMSODPrLi, hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) was prepared via anionic polymerization. The macromolecular structu...
