Radical polymerization process for the preparation of halogenated polymers employing one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers, at least one of which is chosen from halogenated monomers, molecular iodine and one or more radical-generating agents chosen from diazo compounds, peroxides and dialkyldiphenylalkanes. Radical polymerization process for the preparation, starting from the halogenated polymers prepared by the process as described above, of block copolymers, at least one block of which is a halogenated polymer block. n Halogenated polymers which have a number-average molecular mass M n of greater than 1.0×10 4 and an M z /M w , ratio of less than 1.65. Block copolymers, at least one block of which is a block of halogenated polymer identical to the halogenated polymers described above. n Block copolymers comprising at least one halogenated polymer block which have a number-average molecular mass M n of greater than 1.5×10 4 and a polydispersity index M w /M n , of less than 1.60. |
