Polymers containing silver and copper derived from cyano and sulfonic containing monomers

Abstract

Abstract NEW POLYMERS AND COPOLYMERS CONTAINING SILVER AND/OR COPPER, USEFUL E.G. IN MANUFACTURING DIALYSE AND FILTRATION MEMBRANES, ION EXCHANGERS, LIGHT SENSITIVE LAYERS, CATALYSTS AND HYDROPHILIC COATINGS, ARE PREPARED FROM COPOLYMERS OR POLYMER MIXTURES CONTAINING BOTH NITRILE GROUPS AND STRONG ACIDIC GROUPS, BY RINGING THEM IN CONTACT WITH MONOVALENT SILVER OR COPPER IONS OR WITH THEIR MIXTURES. SILVER AND/OR COPPER ARE ATTACHED TO NITRILE GROUPS BY SIDE VALANCES, FORMING THUS COMPLEX COMPOUNDS. THE PROBABLE FORMULAE OF THE COMPLEX SIDEGROUPS ARE: -CN.AG+ OR PERHAPS -CN.AG+.NC- AND -CN.CU+ OR PERHAPS -CN.CU+.CU+.NC-, THE COMPLEX CATIONS FORMING POLYMERIC SALTS WIT STRONG ACIDIC GROUPS OF THE SAME OF AN ADJOINING MACROMOLECULE, TO WHICH ALL SAID NITRILE AND STRONGLY ACIDIC GROUPS ARE ATTACHED AS THEIR SIDE SUBSTITUENTS.
