A free radical polymerization process for the preparation of polymer comprising: n a first heating and photoinitiating with ultraviolet light of a mixture comprised of a stable free radical agent, and at least one polymerizable monomer compound; n optionally cooling said mixture; n a second heating of said mixture at a temperature of from about 100° C. to about 160° C.; n isolating the polymer product formed; and n optionally washing and drying said polymer. |
