Abstract

Abstract Polymers having α-alkylacrylate functionality may be prepared by hydrosilating an aliphatically unsaturated polymer with a grafting agent of structure (A) or (B): ##STR1## where R 1 is an alkyl group; R 2 is a divalent group nonreactive under hydrosilation conditions; n is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4; x and y are 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 and x+y=1, 2, 3 or 4; and, the R 3 groups are the same or different alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl or ##STR2## groups. Preferred olefinically unsaturated polymers include homopolymers and copolymers of butadiene or alkyl substituted butadiene and polyorganosiloxanes with unsaturated hydrocarbyl groups such as vinyl or allyl.
