An adhesive composition made from an elastomer and a tackifying resin. The tackifying resin includes a farnesene polymer or copolymer having the following properties: i) less than 10 weight percent of volatile organic compounds; ii) Mn between 300 Da and 1000 Da; iii) Mw between 400 Da and 3000 Da; iv) Mw/Mn between 1.00 and 3.00; v) Tg between 50 C. and 20 C.; and vi) viscosity between 400,000 cP and 1,000,000 cP at 25 C. A method of making the farnesene-based polymer or copolymer includes combining a farnesene monomer and a solvent and optionally adding one or more co-monomers selected from dienes, branched mono-olefins, and vinyl aromatics, to provide a monomer feed, and polymerizing the monomer feed by combining it with a Friedel-Crafts initiator in a vessel. The farnesene-based polymer or copolymer tackifier may be combined with one or more elastomers and one or more other tackifiers to form an adhesive composition.

A liquid butadiene-styrene polymer, a preparation method for same and an application of same, as well as a composition, a polymer coating, an adhesive and a cross-linking agent containing the same are provided. When the total weight of the liquid butadiene-styrene polymer is taken as a reference, in the liquid butadiene-styrene polymer, the content of a styrene structural unit is 15-30 wt %, the content of a butadiene structural unit is 70-85 wt %, and the content of a 1,2-structural unit is 60-80 wt %; when the total weight of the 1,2-structural unit in the liquid butadiene-styrene polymer is taken as a reference, the content of a cyclized 1,2-structural unit is 20-60 wt %. A coating formed by the liquid butadiene-styrene polymer not only has high peel strength for a substrate, but also has improved thermal expansion performance.
