PCT No. PCT/US97/02913 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 19, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 19, 1998 PCT Filed Feb. 18, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/31031 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 28, 1997This invention relates to a process for the synthesis of addition polymers containing branches upon branches and having a polymerizable olefin end group by a convenient one-pot copolymerization of selected vinyl monomers with chain polymerization initiators and a method to provide olefin end groups by chain transfer or termination agents; and polymers produced thereby.
