A bonded polymer product comprising a polymer having up to 5 polymer chains attached to a functionalized compound of either formula (II) or formula (III), wherein the polymer chain is a vinyl aromatic monomer. A bonded polymer product is disclosed herein comprising a conjugated diene-containing monomer, optionally in combination, further comprising a vinyl group functionalized aminosilane compound of formula (I) bonded within the polymer chain. Also disclosed are a bonded polymer product, a rubber composition containing the bonded polymer product, and a process for producing a tire component containing the rubber composition. |
