A sulfur-containing polymer with modified ends, comprising the reaction products of reagents comprising: (a) a sulfur-containing polymer of Formula (I): ** Formula ** in which: n is an integer selected from 1 to 50; each p is independently selected from 1 to 2; each R1 is independently selected from C2-6 alkanediyl; and each R2 is independently selected from hydrogen, C1-6 alkyl, C7-12 phenylalkyl, substituted C7-12 phenylalkyl, C6-12 cycloalkylalkyl, substituted C6-12 cycloalkylalkyl, C3-12 cycloalkyl, substituted C3-12 cycloalkyl, C6- aryl 12 and substituted C6-12 aryl; and (b) a compound comprising an end group selected from a vinyl group, a silyl group, an amino group, and an epoxy group; and a group that is reactive with the hydroxyterminal groups of the polymer of Formula (I). |
