A continuous polymerization process for producing reactive polymers comprises continuously charging into a first reaction zone at least one functional monomer and polymerizing the monomers to produce a first polymeric product having at least one functional group. This first polymeric product is then continuously directly charged into a second reaction zone together with at least one modifier reactant having a functional group that is complementary to the functional group of the first polymeric product. At least a portion of the modifier reactant reacts with at least one of the functional groups of the first polymeric product to produce a second polymeric product which incorporates at least a portion of the modifier reactant, such that the second polymeric product is a reactive polymer.

A process is disclosed for a continuous, high temperature polymerization process for preparing a gel free polymeric product. The process comprises continuously charging into a reactor at least one monomer such that the reactor is filled to 100 percent of its usable volume. The reactor is maintained at an effective temperature for an effective period of time to cause polymerization of the monomers into a polymeric product, such that the polymeric product is formed substantially free of gel particles.
