Abstract: A method is described for the preparation of functional polybutadiene (PB) with hydroxyl groups along the polymer chain. This material can be used directly or as the starting substrate for further polymerization in both academic and industrial processes. We have developed a convenient method to obtain a polymer with a narrow molecular weight distribution and with a known content of hydroxyl groups along the backbone. By controlling the hydroxylation reaction conditions, the appropriate molar ratios of THF, water and acid with the epoxide are 30, 15 and 1.5, respectively. By minimizing the crosslinking reaction, the desired PB was prepared and subsequently characterized.
