Abstract
Abstract WHERE R is a radical selected from C1-C10 alkylene, phenylene, C4-C9 cycloalkylene and the hydrocarbon radical remaining after the removal of the carboxylic acid groups from the dimer and trimer acids of C6-C20 diunsaturated fatty acids, and x is an integer from 2 to 4. The cross-linking can be accomplished by heating the polymer with one of the following agents or mixtures of agents which yield polycarboxylate polyanions: 1. QUATERNARY AMMONIUM SALTS OF THE POLYCARBOXYLIC ACIDS 2. A MIXTURE OF THE POLYCARBOXYLIC ACID, CERTAIN LEAD COMPOUNDS AND QUATERNARY AMMONIUM HALIDES 3. A MIXTURE OF AN ALKALI METAL SALT OF THE POLYCARBOXYLIC ACID AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE QUATERNARY AMMONIUM SALT OF THE POLYCARBOXYLIC ACID. Epihalohydrin polymers and copolymers can be cross-linked with a polycarboxylate polyanion having the formula
