Abstract: This paper studies catalytic hydrogenation of C=C in poly(butadiene-b-methyl methacrylate) copolymer by using RhCl[P(C6H5)3]3 as the catalyst.The results which come from the IR,NMR,DMA and chemical analysis demonstrate that RhCl[P(C6H5)3]3 is an ef-ficient catalyst in homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation,and the reaction possesses excellent selectivity.The catalyst provides quantitative hydrogenation of C=Cunsaturation without any hydrogenation of the ester functionality. After completely hydrogenated,the weight percentage of unreduced C=C is less than 0.71%.

Key words: Poly(butadiene-b-methyl methacrylate) copolymer, RhCl[P(C6H5)3]3, Catalyst, Selective hydrogenation
