Abstract
Abstract The invention comprises a polymerizable liquid mixture of (a) a half ester characterized by the following empirical formula: ##STR1## wherein n is a number having an average value of about 1.5 to less than about 4, m is equal to the free valence of R less the average value of n, R is the hydroxyl-free residue of an organic polyol which contained from 2 to 4, inclusive, hydroxyl groups, OH, in formula (I) (b) maleic anhydride, (c) an epoxide containing two or more 1,2-epoxide radicals, (d) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer which forms a liquid homogeneous mixture with the half ester, maleic anhydride and epoxide, and (e) a basic compound.
