Synthesis of Macromonomers by Radical Techniques

As already mentioned in the Introduction, macromonomers can be considered as precursors of graft copolymers, whereas telechelic oligomers will lead to multiblock copolymers. 

Graft copolymers are generally obtained by using one of the following three methods  

Grafting onto , corresponding to the attachment of side chains to the 

Grafting from , corresponding to the side chains grafted from the back- 

Grafting through , involving the copolymerization of macromonomers (made either from other living methods or from conventional radical methods using other small monomers)
