cos elimination of water to form etheral linkages will be favoured over addition by free radical mech

never saw this polymer
all i can say that it is formed using H0-CH2-OH
and one of the end is terminated using CH3-OH
it is a step growth condensation polymer whose formation is accompanied by elimination of water
it is a homopolymer and maybe a elastomer
