This application discloses a copolymerizable macromolecular monomer having a substantially uniform molecular weight distribution such that its ratio of Mw/Mn is not substantially above about 1.1, wherein Mw is the weight average molecular weight of the macromolecular monomer, and Mn is the number average molecular weight of the macromolecular monomer, said macromolecular monomer being represented by the structural formula: WHEREIN R is lower alkyl, R'' and R'''' are each either hydrogen or methyl and n is a positive integer having a value of at least about 20. |
