Patent ID: 8822606

Claim:
A crosslinkable silane-terminated polymer having the structure where A is either H or has the structure k is a number from 0 to 4, m and n are independently numbers from 0 to 3, x is a number from 5 to 150, y is a number from 4 to 20, R 1 , R 2 , R 10 , and R 11 are independently alkyl groups having from about 1 to 4 carbon atoms, each individual R 10 are the same or different, each individual R 11 are the same or different, and R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 8 , and R 9 are independently selected from H and alkyl groups having from about 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 7 has from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms and is aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, bis-benzylic, or aromatic, and if k is 0, then n is 0 and R 1 and R 2 are coupled through a carbon-carbon bond.
