The block copolymers may be prepared by selectively hydrogenating substantially all the I polymer units of {HEAD ~ a precursor block copolymer} with a sufficient number of D units in the D polymer blocks retaining their unsaturation on {TAIL ~ selective hydrogenation} to enable the vulcanization of the block copolymer
