With the use of the alkoxyamine 29 unimolecular initiator we have commonly observed apparently high polydispersity index values in methacrylate-containing polymers (and copolymers) although the polymers are pseudo-living; i.e., they can be chain extended. Related results have been reported in ref 37 for acrylate-containing polymers.
