Hydroxyl-functionalized polymer compositions

摘要

A process for reducing the carbonyl group of a polyketone consisting of a carbon monoxide ethylene-based copolymer, comprising reacting a blend of carbon monoxide ethylene-based polymer with a metal alkoxide in a molten condition in proportions to provide a novel polyalcohol. This chemical modification changes the properties of the carbon monoxide ethylene-based polymers and renders them eligible for uses for which the original polymers were not or not very suitable.
