A process for the continuous synthesis of a diene elastomer is provided. The synthesis is conducted by means of n reactors r1 to rn, considered to be continuous stirred-tank reactors, which are equipped with an internal stirring system. The reactors are arranged in series, n varying from 2 to 15, preferably from 2 to 9. The reactor r1 is fed by an input solution comprising a solvent, one or more monomer(s), an anionic polymerization initiator chosen from lithium amides and a polar agent. The conversion by weight C 1 in the first reactor is less than 70%, and the total conversion by weight C n at the outlet of the reactor rn is greater than or equal to 70%. |
