description

An ansasamarocene allyl system is an efficient initiator which polymerises 1,3-dienes, copolymerises dienes and long-chain α-olefins or α,ω-dienes to give functionalisable polymers. It also polymerises caprolactone and allows the controlled diblock copolymerisation of isoprene or isoprene/ α-olefin copolymer and caprolactone.
