PCT No. PCT/EP90/01780 Sec. 371 Date May 15, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date May 15, 1992 PCT Filed Oct. 16, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/07387 PCT Pub. Date May 30, 1991Novel unsaturated peroxides useful as molecular weight regulators in polymerization reactions are disclosed. Also disclosed are a polymerization process employing these novel unsaturated peroxides as molecular weight regulators, polymers and oligomers made by this process and articles of manufacture comprising one or more polymers or oligomers made by this process. These molecular weight regulating peroxides provide the ability to introduce an epoxy functionality to the oligomer or polymer as well as an additional functionality. Further, omega (di) substituted or alpha, omega disubstituted polymers may be synthesized using the unsaturated peroxides of the present invention.
