This invention relates to a process for controlling the architecture of
copolymers of at least two unsaturated monomers, made by free-radical
polymerization in the presence of a cobalt-containing chain transfer
agent, including the control of molecular weight, degree of branching and
vinyl end group termination, by varying at least one of the variables of
molar ratio of monomers, their relative chain transfer constants,
polymerization temperature and degree of conversion and amount of cobalt
chain transfer agent; and polymers made thereby.
