Zusammenfassung:To provide more aggressive means to stabilize polymers from Mooney viscosity growth thereby solving the problem in which silicon-containing functionalities in a functionalized polymer have a very high affinity to undergo hydrolysis reactions with water.SOLUTION: A method comprises the steps of: polymerizing a conjugated diene monomer, optionally together with a copolymerizable monomer, to produce a polymerization mixture including a polymer having a reactive terminus; coupling a portion of the polymer having the reactive terminus with a hydrocarbyloxysiloxane to produce a polymerization mixture including a polymer coupled with the hydrocarbyloxysiloxane and a residual polymer having the reactive terminus, reacting the residual polymer having the reactive terminus with a functionalizing agent having at least one hydrocarbyloxy functionality to produce a polymerization mixture including a functionalized polymer and the polymer coupled with the hydrocarbyloxysiloxane, and desolventizing the polymerization mixture.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】官能化ポリマーのケイ素含有官能基は、水との加水分解反応を受け易いため、ムーニー粘度成長からポリマーを安定させる、より積極的な手段の提供。【解決手段】共役ジエンモノマーを、所望によっては共重合可能なモノマーとともに、反応性末端を有するポリマーを含む重合混合物を製造するステップと、前記反応性末端を有するポリマーの一部分をヒドロカルビルオキシシロキサンで連結して、ヒドロカルビルオキシシロキサンで連結されたポリマー及び反応性末端を有する残存ポリマーを含む重合混合物を製造するステップと、前記反応性末端を有する残存ポリマーを少なくとも1つのヒドロカルビルオキシ官能基を有する官能化剤と反応させて、官能化ポリマー及び前記ヒドロカルビルオキシシロキサンで連結されたポリマーを含む重合混合物を製造するステップと、前記重合混合物を脱溶媒するステップとを含む方法。【選択図】なし
