Abstract
A process for preparing modified diene polymer rubbers having an increased impact resilience, a reduced hardness at low temperatures and an improved processability, and useful as rubber materials for automobile tires and other industries which comprises producing a conjugated diene polymer having alkali metal end or ends, and reacting the alkali metal-containing polymer with (a) a silicon or tin compound of the formula: R.sub.a MX.sub.b wherein R is an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a cycloalkenyl group or an aromatic hydrocarbon atom, a is 0, 1 or 2 and b is 2, 3 or 4, and (b) at least one member selected from the group consisting of a nitro compound; a phosphoryl chloride compound of the formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are an alkyl group; an aminosilane compound of the formula (2): ##STR2## wherein R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are an alkyl group or an alkoxyl group, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are an alkyl group, and n is an integer; an acrylamide compound of the formula (3): ##STR3## wherein R.sup.10 is hydrogen atom or methyl group, R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 are an alkyl group, and m is an integer; and an aminovinylsilane compound of the formula (4): ##STR4## wherein R.sup.13, R.sup.14, R.sup.15, R.sup.16 and R.sup.17 are an alkyl group.
