Hydrocarbon-based polymer of formula (1) bearing alkoxysilane end groups: in which: is a double or single bond; each of R2, R3, R4 and R5 is H, a halo, an alkoxycarbonyl or an alkyl, m and p are each from 0 to 5, each of R and R′ is an alkyl, Z is an alkylene, optionally interrupted with COO, q is 0 or 1, r is 0, 1 or 2, and n is an integer such that the number-average molar mass Mn of the polymer is from 400 to 50 000 g/mol, and its polydispersity index (PDI) is from 1.0 to 2.0. Preparation by ring-opening metathesis polymerization for 2 hours to 24 hours. Adhesive composition comprising polymer (1) and crosslinking catalyst. Bonding by assembly of two substrates using this adhesive composition.
