REVERSIBLY CROSSLINKED RESIN COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS

摘要

The present invention relates to a resin composition which exhibits reversible crosslinking behavior prepared by copolymerizing an alpha-beta ethylenically unsaturated monomer with an oil soluble metal salt prepared by reacting (A) a metal compound with (B) an acid functional compound which is a reaction product of a reactive mixture comprising (1) an alpha­beta ethylenically unsaturated hydroxy compound and (2) a carboxylic polyacid or anhydride, sulfur oxide, or phosphorus oxide. The invention does also concern a process of heating the resin so as to cause reversible crosslinking.
