Polybutadiene [butadiene rubber, BR] is a synthetic rubber. It offers high elasticity, high resistance to wear, good strength even without fillers, and excellent abrasion resistance when filled and vulcanized. "Polybutadiene" is a collective name for homopolymers formed from the polymerization of the monomer 1,3-butadiene.
A telechelic polymer or oligomer is a prepolymer capable of entering into further polymerization or other reactions through its reactive end-groups. [1] It can be used for example to synthesize block copolymers.
Polybutene is an organic polymer made from a mixture of 1-butene, 2-butene, and isobutylene.Ethylene steam cracker C4s are also used as supplemental feed for polybutene. It is similar to polyisobutylene (PIB), which is produced from essentially pure isobutylene made in a C4 complex of a major refinery.
Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is an oligomer of butadiene terminated at each end with a hydroxyl functional group. It reacts with isocyanates to form polyurethane polymers. HTPB is a translucent liquid with a color similar to wax paper and a viscosity similar to corn syrup.
Isotactic PB-1 is produced commercially using two types of heterogeneous Ziegler–Natta catalysts. [3] The first type of catalyst contains two components, a solid pre-catalyst, the δ-crystalline form of TiCl 3, and solution of an organoaluminum cocatalyst, such as Al(C 2 H 5) 3.

Most polyolefin are made by treating the monomer with metal-containing catalysts. The reaction is highly exothermic. Traditionally, Ziegler-Natta catalysts are used. Named after the Nobelists Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, these catalysts are prepared by treating titanium chlorides with organoaluminium compounds, such as triethylaluminium.
1,3-Butadiene (/ ˌ b juː t ə ˈ d aɪ iː n / ⓘ) [8] is the organic compound with the formula CH 2 =CH-CH=CH 2.It is a colorless gas that is easily condensed to a liquid. It is important industrially as a precursor to synthetic rubber. [9]
