Abstract
Abstract Vinyl esters of tetracarboxylic acids having the following general formula: (RO 2 C') 2 ═X═(C"O 2 R') 2 wherein ═X═ is selected from tetravalent 5 or 6 membered or double 6 membered ring systems and wherein C' and C" carbons are attached to separate pairs of vicinal carbons and one of each R and R' is selected from terminally ethylenically unsaturated aliphatic or aryl aliphatic radicals and the other of each R and R' is selected from --H and --CH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 O 2 CCR"═CH 2 ,--CH[CH 2 (OH)]CH 2 O 2 CCR"═CH 2 wherein R" is --H or --CH 3 , are useful in the preparations of high molecular weight polymers and copolymers which are improved in temperature stability and strength at high temperatures.
