Lactamic polymer containing an acetoacetate moiety
View Patent ↗The invention provides lactamic polymers comprising an acetoacetate moiety. The lactamic polymers may be readily functionalized and the functionalized lactamic polymers may be further derivatized to provide a wide variety of useful polymers having desirable chemical and physical properties. The lactamic polymers of the invention may be employed in a wide variety of compositions. (A); (B) wherein R 1 -R 6 , w, x, y, z, and n are described herein.
1. A functionalized lactamic polymer having a structure selected from the group consisting of:
wherein w, x, and y are mole percent, the sum of which=100%.
2. A lactamic polymer having a structure selected from the group consisting of:
wherein w, x, and y are mole percent, the sum of which=100%.
3. A functionalized lactamic polymer having a structure selected from the group consisting of:
wherein x and y are mole percent, the sum of which=100%; and n is an integer independently ranging from 1-4.
