Abstract
Randomly branched polymers, such as homopolymers, copolymers, block copolymers and functionalized polymers are disclosed which may be formed by polymerizing a polymerizable monomer, such as styrene with a dithioester chain transfer agent which includes a polymerizable group. The reaction may be performed in one pot. The randomly branched polymer can have high molecular weight and broad molecular weight distribution.
