Abstract
Abstract A method of making polymer polyols is disclosed wherein a relatively low molecular weight liquid polymer of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer is mixed with a polyol and crosslinked in the polyol. The relatively low molecular weight polymer which is mixed in the polyol may have a variety of microstructures since the low molecular weight polymer was prepared separate from the polyol.
