Abstract
A process for polymerizing unsaturated monomers is disclosed. The process comprises polymerizing, in the presence of a late transition metal catalyst (LTMC), a variety of unsaturated monomers which are traditionally, some of which are exclusively, made by free radical polymerizations. The LTMC polymerization provides the polymer with improved properties such as no free radical residue and narrow molecular weight distribution.
