A method for producing asymmetric radial polymers which comprises anionically polymerizing an anionically polymerizable monomer to form a first set of living polymer arms, coupling the first set of living polymer arms with a silicon-based coupling agent, substantially completing the coupling reaction, anionically polymerizing, in the presence of the coupled first set of polymer arms, a different anionically polymerizable monomer(s) to form a second set of living polymer arms, and adding a coupling activator and coupling the second set of living polymer arms to the coupled first set of polymer arms to form the asymmetric radial polymer.
