Functional or telechelic polyolefin, derivatives thereof, and process for preparing same

Abstract

The invention herein pertains to a telechelic polyolefin of formula (III) or (IV) and to a process for its preparation, Z-A-(CH2)p—B′  (III) Z-A-(CH2)p—B  (IV) A being a polymer chain obtained by homopolymerization of ethylene or by copolymerization of ethylene and an alpha-monoolefin; B′ being selected from the group consisting of N(SiMe3)2; N(SiMe2CH2CH2SiMe2); para-C6H4(NMe2); para-C6H4(OMe); C6H4(N(SiMe3)2); ortho-CH2—C6H4NMe2; ortho-CH2—C6H4OMe; C6F5; C3F7; C6F13; CH(OCH2CH2O); B being the function B′ or a function derived from B′; p being an integer from 0 to 50, advantageously from 0 to 11; Z being a function selected from the group consisting of halogens; thiols; thiol derivatives; azides; amines; alcohols; carboxylic acid function; isocyanates; silanes; phosphorus derivatives; dithioesters; dithiocarbamates; dithiocarbonates; trithiocarbonates; alkoxyamines; vinyl function; dienes; and the group -A-(CH2)p—B′.
