High cis-1,4-polybutadiene is a synthetic rubber that is commonly utilized in manufacturing tires. It is usually made commercially by employing solution polymerization techniques. However, it has been unexpectedly found that 1,3-butadiene can be polymerized into high cis-1,4-polybutadiene in a continuous bulk polymerization process while attaining very high conversions. This continuous bulk polyme...
