Abstract:
1. A process for producing a side-chain modified polymer, comprising: deprotonating a polymer with an arylene main chain in a metal organic reaction that yields a metalized polymer, the metal organic reaction involving a metallic species selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, and halides of Mg and Zn, the halides being chloride, bromide or iodide; reacting the metalized polymer with a di-halogen compound to yield a polymer with one or more halogenated side chain, the di-halogen compound having two or more carbons; and reacting the polymer with the one or more halogenated side chain with a nucleophilic species of the general formula rNu-R wherein: in which X is selected from the group consisting of halogens, OH, OM
