Abstract:
A polymer having the formula:FG--(Q).sub.x --Z--O--[C(R.sup.1 R.sup.2 R.sup.3)]wherein:FG is a protected or non-protected functional group;Q is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group derived by incorporation of a compound selected from the group consisting of conjugated diene hydrocarbons, alkenylsubstituted aromatic compounds, and mixtures thereof;x is an integer from 10 to 4000;Z is a branched or straight chain hydrocarbon group which contains 3-25 carbon atoms, optionally containing aryl or substituted aryl groups;[C(R.sup.1 R.sup.2 R.sup.3)] is a protecting group in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 are independently selected from hydrogen, alky, substituted alkyl groups containing lower alkyl, lower alkylthio, and lower dialkylamino groups, aryl, substituted aryl groups containing lower alkyl, lower alkylthio, and lower dialkylamino groups, cycloalkyl and substituted cycloalkyl groups containing 5 to 12 carbon atoms.
