Abstract

The invention concerns a method for preparing block copolymers comprising steps which consist in: polymerising a first monomer using an organolanthanide catalyst wherein said catalyst in the form of a hydride complex of a trivalent metal from the group of rare earths; then in polymerising at least a second monomer. The invention also concerns block copolymers whereof the blocks are polyolefins.
