A functionalized polymer comprising a directly bonded hydrazone radical that can optionally be located at the end of a polymer. The functionalized polymer can be located at the end of the polymer and has the formula —NH—NR 1 R 2 , wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently substituted or unsubstituted alkyl. Group, alkenyl group, cycloalkyl group, cycloalkenyl group, aryl group, allyl group, aralkyl group, alkaryl group or alkynyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group, alkenylene group, cycloalkylene together Forming a group, a cycloalkenylene group or an arylene group]. The functionalized polymer can be provided by reacting the living polymer with hydrazone. Such polymers can be used in the production of compositions containing particulate filler.
