Abstract
Abstract WHERE N IS 1 OR 2. This polyformal can be formed into a moldable or fiber-forming composition comprising an admixture of from 75 to 98 weight percent polyester and from 25 to 2 weight percent of the polyformal. The admixture of the polyester and the polyformal can, depending on the precise conditions of time, temperature and pressure, form, in whole or in part, a copolymer of blocks of polyester and blocks of polyformal. The admixture, the block copolymer or a combination of the two can be formed into useful articles. Disclosed is a brominated bisphenol A diethanol polyformal comprised of recurring units of the structure
