Abstract: Poly( β-pinene) was brominated by N-bromosuccinimide on its allylic carbon. Then the brominated poly( β-pinene) was activated by AlEt2Cl to initiate the polymerization of styrene (AlEt2Cl alone could not induce the polymerization of styrene). The obtained β-pinene/styrene graft copolymer has been characterized by GPC, 1H NMR, and DSC measurements.

Key words: β-pinene, styrene, N-bromosuccinimide, graft copolymerization
