Patent ID: 7304108

Claim:
An allyl-terminated polymer as produced by reacting a hydroxy-terminated polymer with an allyl halide, wherein the hydroxyl-terminated polymer has, at a molecular chain terminus, a structure represented by the general formula 1: wherein R 3 is a hydroxyl group, R 1 is a divalent hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms or a group having a structure represented by the general formula 3: in which R 5 is an oxygen atom, a nitrogen atom or an organic group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R 6 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and each may be the same or different, and R 2 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and X is a halogen atom, a nitroxide or sulfide group or a cobalt porphyrin complex.
