Chain-end functionalized polymers (polymer–NHR) were successfully synthesized through the reaction of a polymer–iodide (polymer–I) with a primary amine (NH2R), where the R moiety contains a functional group. This reaction was comprehensively studied for three different polymers, i.e., poly(butyl acr...
