ADDITION POLYMERS FROM NITROGEN HETEROCYCLE CONTAINING MONOMERS AND VINYL ARYLCYCLOBUTENE-CONTAINING MONOMERS

摘要

The present invention provides a polymer composition comprising, in copolymerized form, one or more addition polymerizable arylcyclobutene monomers A having an alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, thioalkyl or thioaryl cyclobutene ring substituent, one or more aromatic addition polymerizable second monomers and one or more addition polymerizable monomer chosen from one or more nitrogen heterocycle containing third monomers, one or more addition polymerizable fourth monomer, such as n-butyl acrylate, or one or more of both monomers. The polymer compositions find use in making thin films or coatings having improved flexibility. Methods for making the polymer compositions are also provided.
