FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to functionalised polymers and method for their manufacture. A method for preparing a functionalised polymer comprises the steps of: polymerising diene monomer, and optionally co-diene monomer, using an anionic initiator to form a reactive polymer and the reactive reaction of the polymer with a compound containing a nitrile protected amino group. The protected amino group is selected from the group, consisting of acyclic fragments, heterocyclic fragments and non-aromatic cyclic fragments.
EFFECT: invention can reduce hysteresis of rubber vulcanisates.
