Polyvinylamide polymers containing polymerisable functionalities

摘要

Crosslinking agents, such as melamines, formaldehydes, polyfunctional silanes, zirconates, borates, polyfunctional acids and amines are often used in many applications where crosslinked polymers are required. Some polymers have been developed which do not require the addition of a crosslinking agent, but rely on covalent bonds being formed between itself and other functional materials. Many of these polymers employ glycidyl or amine functionalities. This polymer is described as comprising an N-vinyl amide monomer and a dual functional monomer. If the dual functional monomer is a glycidyl acrylate, a third polymerisable monomer is incorporated.
