Abstract
A styrene-butadiene copolymer having a high styrene content is disclosed, which is obtained by polymerizing styrene and butadiene in a hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of an organolithium compound and, if necessary, a Lewis base and then coupling with a tin halide compound. This copolymer contains in its main chain at least 30 wt % of polymer having a tin-carbon bond and has a bound styrene content of more than 25 wt % but not more than 60 wt % and a content of vinyl bond in butadiene portion of not less than 30% but less than 50%.
