Abstract

A polymerization process for the preparation of (meth)acrylate containing homopolymers or block copolymers comprises heating a mixture of a free radical initiator, a stable free radical agent, and a polymerizable monomer compound to form a thermoplastic resin or resins with a narrow polydispersity. The stable free radical agent is a piperazinone or morpholone based nitroxide or any adducts thereof.
