FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing a functionalised polymer, which includes steps of: (i) polymerising a monomer under the action of a coordination catalyst to obtain a reactive polymer, where the monomer is a conjugated diene monomer and (ii) reacting the reactive polymer with a carboxylic or thiocarboxylic ester containing a silylated amine group.
EFFECT: functionalised polymer obtained using the disclosed method is characterised by low hysteresis and low cold flow, which enables use thereof in making tyre treads.
