PHOTODEGRADABLE AND BIODEGRADABLE POLYETHYLENE COPOLYMERS

摘要

Ethylene, 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane, and optionally carbon monoxide are reacted in the presence of a free radical catalyst to form a biodegradable and optionally photodegradable polymer represented by the formulae: where x and y are integers or where x, y and z are integers.
