Abstract:
A polymer of the formula: ##STR12##wherein:R, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 are each independently selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alky, substituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkyl, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 aryl, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted aryl; R groups in a geminal position with respect to each other can together form a 4-8 membered ring; and R groups in a cis position with respect to each other can together form a 4-8 membered ring;X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkyl, substituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkyl, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 aryl, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted aryl; acyl; X and R can form a 5-8 membered ring; and X and R.sup.3 can form a 5-8 membered ring;M is one or more monomer units selected from the group consisting of styrene, substituted styrene, alkyl acrylate, alkyl methacrylate, substituted alkyl acrylate, substituted alkyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-alkylacrylamide, N-alkylmethacrylamide,N,N-dialkylacrylamide, N,N-dialkylmethacrylamide, isoprene and butadiene;n is an integer greater than 1;Y is a residue derived from a species that initiates free radical polymerization or is selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkyl, substituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkoxy, substituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkoxy, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 aryl, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted aryl, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 aroyloxy, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted aroyloxy; andall substituents are independently selected from the group that consists of epoxy, hydroxy, C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkoxy, acyl, acyloxy, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, cyano, silyl, halo, and C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 dialkylamino.
