Claims
- 1. A cationic polymer comprising cationically polymerized monomer endcapped with a non-polymerizable monomer.
- 2. The polymer of claim 1 wherein the capping compound is selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted diphenyl alkylene, substituted or unsubstituted a-methoxystyrene, substituted or unsubstituted trans-stilbene, substituted or unsubstituted 1-isopropenylnapthalene and substituted or unsubstituted 2,4-dimethyl-a-methylstyrene.
- 3. The polymer of claim 1 wherein the capping compound is 1,1-diphenylethylene and the cationically polymerized monomer is isobutylene.
- 4. The polymer of claim 1, wherein the cationically polymerized monomer is selected from the group consisting of C.sub.4 -C.sub.18 monoolefin, C.sub.4 -C.sub.14 multiolefin and substituted or unsubstituted vinylidene aromatic compounds.
- 5. The polymer of claim 4, wherein said monoolefin has a carbon atom chain length of four to ten carbon atoms.
- 6. The polymer of claim 5, wherein said monoolefin has a carbon atom chain length of four to 8 carbon atoms.
