During our investigation concerned with the free‐radical crosslinking copolymerization of benzyl methacrylate with neopentyl glycol dimethacrylate in the presence of lauryl mercaptan as a chain transfer agent with the intention to remove the obstacles between allyl and vinyl polymerizations, we observed, by chance, popcorn formation in spite of the presence of a large amount of chain transfer agent.
