      Synthesis and Actual Applications.

AB  - The polymerization of isobutylene allows us to obtain a wide spectrum of 
      polyisobutylenes (PIBs) which differ in their molecular weight characteristics 
      and the chemical structure of chain-end groups. The bulk of the PIBs manufactured 
      worldwide are highly reactive polyisobutylenes (HRPIBs) with -C(Me)=CH(2) 
      end-groups and low-molecular weights (M(n) < 5 kDa). HRPIBs are feedstocks that 
      are in high demand in the manufacturing of additives for fuels and oils, 
      adhesives, detergents, and other fine chemicals. In addition, HRPIBs and 
      CMe(2)Cl-terminated PIBs are intensively studied with the aim of finding 
      biomedical applications and for the purpose of developing new materials. Both 
      chain control (molecular weight and dispersity) and chemoselectivity (formation 
      of exo-olefinic or -CMe(2)Cl groups) should be achieved during polymerization. 
      This review highlights the fundamental issues in the mechanisms of isobutylene 
      polymerization and PIB analysis, examines actual catalytic approaches to PIBs, 
      and describes recent studies on the functionalization and applications of HRPIBs 
      and halogen-terminated PIBs.
