Abstract:
A catalyzed process for the preparation of monomeric and/or polymeric compounds such as esters, polyesters, ester-amides, and polyester-polyamides which result from the reaction of an imide and an alcohol in the presence of a Group IA, IIA, IIB and/or IIIA metal or metal compound, imide-alcohol condensation catalyst.
Abstract:
Lactam-polyol-acyl polylactam terpolymers having both ester linkages and amide linkages between the monomeric segments of the terpolymer are disclosed. Also disclosed is a process for preparing the above terpolymers comprising reacting together a lactam, polyol and acryl polylactam in the presence of a basis lactam polymerization catalyst to form a lactam-polyol-acyl polylactam terpolymer.
