Polybutadiene is a polymer derived from 1,3-butadiene. Different addition modes produce cis-1,4, trans-1,4, or 1,2-containing structures, with different spatial arrangements and remaining double bonds.
This microstructure strongly affects flexibility, crystallization, and elastic behavior. The monomer name alone therefore does not specify a unique polymer chain geometry or one set of mechanical properties.
