Abstract

Polymers comprising anionically polymerized conjugated dienes or vinylarenes and adjacent units of (1-methyl-1-alkyl)alkyl esters such as t-butylmethacrylate or (1-aryl-1-alkyl)alkyl esters, as well as selectively hydrogenated derivatives thereof, are heated to at least 170.degree. C. in the presence of an amine to convert the polymerized ester to amide and imide groups.
