A polymerization initiator, a cationically polymerizable monomer ingredient, and a catalyst are continuously fed to a flow-through stirring vessel type reactor to initiate living polymerization and, simultaneously therewith, the reaction mixture in which the conversion of the cationically polymerization monomer ingredient has reached a value of from 1 wt.% to less than 90 wt.% is continuously fed from the flow-through stirring vessel type reactor to a flow-through tubular reactor to cause the living polymerization to proceed further. Thus, a polymer is produced. |
