Notes:
Metal vinyl acetate (MVAc) colloids were obtained by cocondensation at 77 K of the monomer with several metals such as: Pd, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Ga, In, Ge, Sn, Sb and Bi. Some of these colloids are stable for months at room temperature (Au, Ag, Pd). The colloids were polymerized with different amounts of initiator (2,2′-azoisobutyronitrile) at 65°C, and a wide range of viscosity-average molecular weights (104 〈 M̄v 〈 106) were obtained depending upon the metal used. The particle size of these clusters dispersed in the polymer matrix is around 1400 Å. The polymers are stable even at 320°C, and the metal content is ranging from 0,01 to 0,96 wt.-%. The color of the polymers depends upon the metal used.
