Abstract
Abstract Solution polymers and rubbers can be prepared from monomers using a new catalyst complex of barium di-tert-alkoxide and a dibutyl magnesium compound. In particular, homopolymers and copolymers of butadiene with styrene, prepared with this catalyst, are uniquely characterized by the diene adducts having a low vinyl content (6-10 percent) and a high trans-1,4 structure (80-85 percent). Furthermore, the copolymer has a random comonomer sequence distribution. This molecular structure permits elastomers containing little or no styrene to have sufficient stereoregularity to crystallize.
