Abstract
Lithium‐metallated (styrene‐p‐benzylstyrene)copolymer was reacted with chlorine‐terminated polystyrene as a crosslinker polymer in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (THF)–n‐hexane at 25°C in the presence of lithium chloride(LiCl). The rate constants were estimated from the changes in the concentration of metallated polymer by photometrical measurements. As a result, the rate constant of grafting (k~1~) showed a constant value in spite of a change in molecular weight of the crosslinker polymers and the addition of n‐hexane. The rate constant of intramolecular crosslinkings (k~2intra~) obtained in a mixed solvent (21 ∼ 36 vol % of n‐hexane) increased when the molecular weight of the crosslinker polymers and the extent of n‐hexane were increased.
