Abstract
Abstract Liquid vinylidene (CH 2 =C<) terminated polymers are prepared by the reaction of a (1) liquid polymer having a terminal functional group selected from the group consisting of carboxyl, hydroxyl, mercaptan, amine and epoxy and (2) a compound containing both an epoxy group ##STR1## and a vinylidene group. The reaction can be catalyzed using a base. The polymers cure readily to solid elastomers which are useful as sealants, caulks, potting compounds, coatings and the like. This is a division of application Ser. No. 292,926, filed Sept. 28, 1972, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,910,992.
