It is a polymer obtained by polymerization of 1,3-butadiene monomer. Polybutadiene can be synthesized by a variety of polymerization methods, including free radical polymerization, coordination polymerization and ionic polymerization. Cis and trans polybutadiene mainly adopt coordination polymerization, such as organic nickel, organic cobalt, organic titanium, organic rare earth catalyst, low cis polybutadiene and medium vinyl polybutadiene mainly adopt anion polymerization method with organic lithium as initiator, and high vinyl polybutadiene can adopt anion polymerization method. The coordination polymerization method can also be used. polybutadiene rubber is widely used in tires and other rubber products because of its low cost, variety and excellent performance.
