Abstract
Diacrylate and dimethacrylate esters corresponding to the formula ##STR1## wherein R and R' are hydrogen or methyl and A is either a sigma (.sigma.) bond; a (CH.sub.2).eta. radical where .eta. is an interger that may vary from one through four; or phenylene, or an alkyl derivative thereof. The new adamantane containing difunctional olefinic monomers can then be polymerized, or copolymerized with other acrylic type olefinic monomers to produce polymers with unusual physical properties, including unusual hardness, inertness to degradable agents, and resistance to heat.
