What is claimed as new and intended to be covered by letters patent is:
1. A process for preparing a liquid polymerizable diene polymer, which comprises:
reacting a liquid polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid, anhydride, ester or acid halide with a liquid polydroxydiene polymer having terminal and pendant hydroxy groups obtained from the reaction of one mole of a living polymer having a molecular weight of 500 to 10,000 which is prepared by reacting a conjugated diolefin or a mixture of said conjugated diolefin and a vinyl compound having the formula: CH.sub.2 =CR.sub.1 R.sub.2, wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group and R.sub.2 represents an aryl group or a pyridyl group in the presence of sodium or lithium metal or an organo sodium or lithium compound with 0.5 mole to 2.0 moles of epichlorohydrin, epibromohydrin, epifluorohydrin, chlorobutylene oxide or bromobutylene oxide.
2. The process of claim 1, which further comprises admixing the polymerizable diene polymer with a polymerizable vinyl monomer.
3. The process of claim 2, wherein said polymerizable diene polymer is used with 0 to 200 percent by weight of said polymerizable vinyl monomer based on the amount of polymerizable diene polymer at 0.degree. to 250.degree.C.
4. The process of claim 2, wherein said polymerizable vinyl monomer is styrene, 4-t-butylstyrene, chlorostyrene, divinylbenzene, methylmethacrylate, ethylmethacrylate, propylmethacrylate, butylmethacrylate, octylmethacrylate, methylacrylate, ethylacrylate, propylacrylate, butylacrylate, octylacrylate, ethyleneglycoldiacrylate, diethyleneglycoldiacrylate, ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, diethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, diallylphthalate, triallylisocyanurate or diallyl ether.
5. The process of claim 1, which further comprises curing the polymerizable diene polymer with a radical polymerizing initiator.
6. The process of claim 5, wherein said radical polymerization initiator is dicumyl peroxide, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)benzene, t-butylcumylperoxide, di-t-butylperoxide, cyclohexanone peroxide, methylethylketone peroxide, acetyl peroxide, succinic peroxide, propionyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, azobis(isobutyronitrile), azobismethylvaleronitrile or azobiscyclohexane carbonitrile.
