Abstract
Methacrylic ester-based dimers and oligomers were synthesized using a metal-based catalytic chain transfer agent. Conditions were employed w hich maximized the yield of unsaturated dimers, and the copolymerizati on behavior of these dimers was investigated. The molecular weight and polymer yield were found to decrease with increasing dimer concentrat ion in the copolymerization feeds. (C) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
