Summary By anionic polymerization in cyclohexane with secbutyllithium as initiator polyisoprene and poly (styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene) have been prepared with 92 mole % and 90 mole % cis-1, 4 isoprene structural units respectively. From the13C NMR spectrum there is no evidence for chain reversals of the polyisoprene chain, which was claimed to prevent crystallization in lithium polyisoprenes in the unstretched state. By DSC it is shown that the polyisoprene sample crystallizes in the isotropic state at −25°C. The block copolymer shows stress induced crystallization as demonstrated by temperature dependent stressstrain measurements.
