Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015097192A1] The invention relates to a method for the depolymerization of a block copolymer comprising a polyisoprene block and at least one polybutadiene block for the preparation of a modified polyisoprene mainly comprising the species functionalized on the at least one polybutadiene block by one or more functional groups, wherein said method comprises the following steps: i) a step of preparing a block copolymer solution comprising the block copolymer and one or more organic solvents, then ii) a step of adding, to the block copolymer solution, one or more transfer agents comprising said functional group or groups, iii) a step of adding, to the block copolymer solution, one or more metathesis catalysts exhibiting higher activity on disubstituted carbon-carbon double bonds than on tri- and tetra-substituted carbon-carbon double bonds. The invention also relates to a modified polyisoprene obtainable using the aforementioned method. Lastly, the invention relates to an elastomeric composition made from the aforementioned modified polyisoprene.
