Synthesis and characterisation of highly branched polyisoprene: exploiting the “Strathclyde route” in anionic polymerisation

This work aimed at developing a synthetic route towards highly branched poly(isoprene) from commercially available raw materials, in good yield and devoid of microgelation, i.e., to prepare a completely soluble polymer via the versatile technique anionic polymerisation. The polymerisations were cond...
