    Abstract: A process for continuously preparing a polymer by free-radical polymerization, the process includes: continuously feeding to a reactor a mixture including about 20 wt % to about 96 wt % of a vinylic monomer, the vinylic monomer comprising a styrenic monomer, a (meth)acrylic monomer, or a mixture thereof, greater than 0 wt % to about 0.25 wt % of a polymerization initiator, and about 4 wt % to about 80 wt % of a reaction solvent; maintaining the reactor at a temperature from about 120° C. to about 190° C.; and collecting the polymer; where the polymer has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) from 20,000 g/mol to about 300,000 g/mol.
