ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improvement upon the process for making block copolymers of vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons and/or conjugated dienes, and polydimethylsiloxane by first anionically polymerizing the vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon to make a living polymer block and then adding hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane and a polar promoter to polymerize a polydimethylsiloxane block at the end of the living polymer block. The improvement comprises reacting the living polymer blocks with a crossover reagent to decrease the crossover time from the living polymer block polymerization to the polydimethylsiloxane polymerization.
