Cover: High molecular weight (MW) poly( tert ‐butyl acrylate)‐ block ‐poly(styrene) copolymers by NMP are desirable for many properties. Solution polymerizations to reduce viscosity resulted in excessive chain transfer to solvent and broad MWD. Semi‐batch bulk addition of a second monomer resulted in high MW while maintaining narrow MWD. Further details can be found in the article by B. Lessard, C. Tervo, and M. Marić * on page 245 .
