Abstract
Abstract Water-soluble polyacetylenic alkali metal salts from monomers and polymers of carboxymethyl urethanes of di-, tetra-, and hexayne diols, or from the corresponding diacids; useful in thermal and irradiation exposure indicators and/or in detection and/or removal of nonalkali metal ions dissolved in aqueous media.

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A polymeric compound prepared by the 1,4 addition of a diacetylenic monomer of the formula [R(C.tbd.C) a (CH 2 ) b (C.tbd.C) b-1 ] 2 wherein a is 1 or 2 and b is 0 when a is 1; b is 0, 1, or 2 when a is 2 and (b-1) is taken as zero whenever b is zero; wherein R is selected from the group consisting of (I): --(CH 2 ) n O(C═O)NHCH 2 CO 2 M, n being an integer from 1 to 10 and M representing an alkali metal or hydrogen; and (II): --(CH 2 ) n' CO 2 M', n' being an integer from 0 to 9 and M' being an alkali metal with the proviso that when a is 1, n' is an integer from 0 to 4.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
