Summary
For the preparation of graft copolymers of the type poly (butadiene-g-styrene), possibilities were investigated both of obtaining a “living” anionic copolymerization of butadiene and styryl-terminated polystyrene macromonomers and of assessing the necessary analytical prerequisites for determining the conversion. The course of this copolymerization can be observed by combining gravimetry with SEC. With the initiator system sodium tert-butoxide /n-butyl lithium there are only a few deviations from the statistically ideal course of copolymerization and the macromonomer is almost completely incorporated into the copolymer.
