| abstract |
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a liquid polymer composition by polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer using an initiator having a transferable atomic group and one or more catalysts containing at least one transition metal. This polymerization is performed in the presence of a ligand capable of forming a coordination compound with the metal catalyst. Furthermore, the catalyst is oxidized after the polymerization, and the catalyst is subsequently removed by filtration. The composition has a solvent having a dielectric constant of 4 or less. |
