Telechelic polymers having two reactive functional groups at the same
polymer chain end are disclosed. These polymers can be prepared by
combining a cycloborane initiator, at least one free radical
polymerizable monomer and oxygen to form a polymer segment having a
borane residue at one end of the polymer segment resulting from the
cycloborane initiator; and converting the borane residue to at least two
functional groups to form the telechelic polymer.
