Crystallization during Polymerization: A Route to Low-Entangled Solid-State Processable Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight trans -1,4-Polybutadiene

Abstract Trans-1,4-polybutadiene (TPBD) is a material of commercial interest whose properties strongly depend on its trans isomer content. The polymer exhibits distinctive features, including a highly linear backbone without pendant groups, excellent dynamic performance, low roll...
