Complex polymer and method of manufacturing the same, and rubber composition and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

The problem of the present disclosure is to provide a polymer having improved tensile strength at break (TB) and elongation at break (EB), and the solution is to provide a complex polymer including a polymer chain containing a diene unit and/or an olefin unit and two or more functional groups containing an oxygen atom bonded to a main chain and/or a side chain of the polymer chain. The oxygen atoms in at least two of the functional groups are bonded to adjacent carbon atoms in the main chain and/or the side chain of the polymer chain, and at least two of the functional groups are complexed with a metal ion of an element of Groups 3 to 12 in the periodic table.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
