Abstract
There are disclosed thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers which incorporate tungsten and/or molybdenum metal atoms. The metal atoms are incorporated into the polymer by reacting a monomer or polymer containing at least one free carboxyl group with a reaction product of tungsten or molybdenum and pyrrolidine.
Claims2
A thermosetting polymer obtained by reacting a thermoplastic polymer with a vinyl monomer crosslinking agent, said thermoplastic polymer containing tungsten and/or molybdenum metal atoms chemically bonded in the polymer chain, said thermoplastic polymer comprising the reaction product of (1) a metal complex which is a reaction product of tungsten carbonyl and/or molybdenum carbonyl with pyrrolidine and (2) a condensation product of an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or anhydride and a polyhydric alcohol, said condensation product containing free carboxyl groups.
