Abstract:
1. A process for forming a macromolecule that comprises a polymer bonded at a terminus through at least one —Si—O-M- moiety to a polyatomic functionality that comprising multiple M atoms where M represents Si, Ti, Zr, Sn, Al, or Fe, said process comprising: a) in an organic solvent medium, reacting a carbanionic polymer with one or more functional silanes having any of the general formulas  where  thereby providing a polymer that comprises a functionality in which at least one alkoxy group is bonded to a silicon atom, said polymer having the general formula  where b) adding to said organic solvent medium one or more hydrolyzable compounds that comprises a M atom; and c) hydrolyzing and condensing said polymer which comprises at least one alkoxy group bonded to a silicon atom and said one or more hydrolyzable compounds that comprises a M atom to afford said macromolecule that comprises a polymer bonded at a terminus through said at least one —Si—O-M- moiety to said polyatomic functionality.
