Claims
- 1. The polymeric product resulting from curing a resin which is a vinylbenzyl ether of the oligomeric condensation product of a dihydric phenol and formaldehyde and with the formula: ##STR5## where the recurring unit Q has the structure, ##STR6## and n is an integer from 1 to 10; s is 0 or 1;
- each X is independently selected from the group consisting of CH.sub.2, C(CH.sub.3).sub.2, C(CF.sub.3).sub.2, S(O).sub.2, C(O), and OC.sub.6 H.sub.4 O;
- each R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl and alkoxy moieties containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms, phenyl, and phenoxy;
- a and b are independently 0 or integers from 1 to 4;
- Z is Cl or Br;
- E is selected from the group consisting of vinylbenzyl moiety, alkyl moieties containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or benzyl, subject to the constraint that at least 50% of all E's are the vinylbenzyl moiety.
- 2. The polymeric product of claim 1 where each R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, and tert-butyl moieties.
- 3. The polymeric product of claim 2 where all R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen.
- 4. The polymeric product of claim 2 where all R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are methyl.
- 5. The polymeric product of claim 1 where s is 1 and X is C(CH.sub.3).sub.2.
- 6. The polymeric product of claim 1 where Z is Br and each of a and b is an integer from 1 to 4.
- 7. The polymeric product of claim 1 where E is a primary alkyl moiety containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
- 8. The polymeric product of claim 7 where the alkyl moiety contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
- 9. The polymeric product of claim 1 where E is benzyl.
- 10. The polymeric product of claim 1 where from 70 to 100% of the E moieties are the vinylbenzyl moiety.
- 11. The polymeric product of claim 10 where from 95 to 100% of the E moieties are vinylbenzyl moieties.
- 12. The polymeric product of claim 1 where n is an integer from 1 to 6.
- 13. The polymeric product of claim 2 where the number average of n is about 3.
- 14. The polymeric product of claim 1 where curing is effected by heating at a temperature from about 100.degree. C. to about 250.degree. C.
- 15. The polymeric product of claim 14 where the temperature is from about 120.degree. to about 200.degree. C.
- 16. The polymeric product of claim 1 where curing is effected with the aid of a free radical initiator.
- 17. The polymeric product of claim 1 where curing is effected by irradiation.
