Notes:
Divalent metal salts of ethylene glycol-methacrylate-maleate in the amorphous state were easily soluble in styrene, methyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate, to give homogeneous, curable mixtures with high metal content. The viscosities of the mixtures varied depending on the metal present. The mixtures were copolymerized to give metal-containing cured resins of increased compressive strength and Rockwell hardness. Moreover, heat distortion temperature could be improved by introducing Mg or Ca. Of the cured resins studied, the Mg-containing resin showed the best physical properties. Resistance of the metal-containing resins to attack by organic solvents was generally high, whereas greater degradation by aqueous reagents was noted. The thermal behavior of the resins is discussed.
