A composition comprising a polymer having a processing temperature of at least 200.degree. and from about 0.1 wt % up to about 30 wt % of crosslinking agent said crosslinking agent comprising a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen and Y is ##STR2## and X and Y are substituents on adjacent carbon atoms of A or wherein X and Y together form the imide ring system ##STR3## which is joined to A on adjacent carbons atoms, thereof, wherein A is an aromatic, heteroaromatic, alicyclic, or heterocyclic system or an open chain aliphatic moiety, where R is vinyl, allyl, methallyl or propargyl and wherein R' is hydrogen, C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 alkyl or R and mixtures thereof. Compounds per se and articles manufactured from the above-indicated polymer composition are also taught.
A composition comprising an organic crosslinkable polymer having a melt processing temperature of at least 200.degree. and from about 0.1 wt % up to about 30 wt % of crosslinking agent said crosslinking agent comprising a compound of the formula ##STR24## wherein X is hydrogen and Y is ##STR25## and X and Y are substituents on adjacent carbon atoms of A or wherein X and Y together form the imide ring system ##STR26## which is joined to A on adjacent carbons atoms, thereof, wherein A is an aromatic, heteroaromatic, alicyclic, or heterocyclic system or an open chain aliphatic moiety, where R is vinyl, allyl, methallyl or propargyl and wherein R' is hydrogen, C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 alkyl or R, or a mixture of said compounds.
