Abstract
Lithium‐metallated styrene–p‐benzylstyrene copolymer was reacted with the branched polymer with chlorine groups at the pendant chain ends (multifunctional branched polymer) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 25°C. The rate constant was estimated from the changes in the concentration of metallated polymer by using photometrical measurements. The various reaction conditions were chosen and it became clear that the rate constants of intermolecular (k~20~) and intramolecular (k~3intra~) crosslinkings were derived separately at the second stage. k~20~ showed a constant value in spite of the molecular weight of crosslinker chains and was about equal to the rate constant of the grafting. The rate of intramolecular crosslinking at the second stage increased with decreasing the molecular weight of pendant chains of multifunctional branched polymer.
