Abstract
Abstract 1. THE PROCESS OF INCREASING THE MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF A POLYMER OF THE CLASS CONSISTING OF TERMINALLY LITHIATED HOMOPOLYMERS OF CONJUGATED DIENES CONTAINING 4 TO 6 CARBON ATOMS AND TERMINALLY LITHIATED COPOLYMERS OF SUCH CONJUGATED DIENES AND A VINYL MONOMER, WHICH COMPRISES JOINING THE UNITS OF THE POLYMER WITH SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIMOLAR AMOUNTS OF TUNGSTEN HEXACHLORIDE AND TRIISOBUTYLALUMINUM WHICH CAUSES JOINING THE POLYMER AND PRODUCTION OF A POLYMER OF INCREASED MOLECULAR WEIGHT.
