Copolymers containing residues of at least one olefinic monomer and a method of making such copolymers including the steps of: (a) providing a pressurized stirred tank; (b) feeding monomer compositions to one or more stirred tank reactors, where at least one monomer composition includes one or more monomers according to structure (I): where R<SUP>1 </SUP>is linear or branched C<SUB>1 </SUB>to C<SUB>4 </SUB>alkyl and R<SUP>2 </SUP>is selected from methyl, linear, cyclic or branched C<SUB>1 </SUB>to C<SUB>20 </SUB>alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkaryl and aralkyl; (c) feeding an initiator composition to the STR; (d) maintaining in the STR hydraulically full; (e) maintaining the monomer compositions in (b) and the initiator compositions in (c) in the STR for a residence time sufficient to effect conversion of the monomers to a copolymer composition; and (f) discharging the copolymer composition.
