Abstract

A farnesene polymer is provided having a glass transition temperature greater than zero degrees Celsius that is obtained by combining a farnesene monomer and a solvent and optionally adding one or more vinyl aromatic comonomers to provide a monomer feed and polymerizing the monomer feed with a Friedel-Crafts catalyst. The farnesene polymer may be included as a resin in a rubber composition for tire applications.
