Novel radiopaque materials and a method for their preparation are described. The radiopaque materials comprise composites of polymers and heavy metal-containing organic compounds, which heavy metal containing compounds have the following formula: ##STR1## wherein X is a heavy met

Homogeneous radiopaque polymer-organobismuth composites

Disclosed herein are novel polyorganosiloxanes, both linear and cyclic, havingpendant thereon isocyanate groups derived from specific .alpha.,.alpha.-dimethyl isopropenyl benzyl isocyanates. Also disclosed is a method for production of said polyorganosiloxanes. The disclosed polyorganosiloxanes are useful as crosslinking agents and as intermediates in the production of star polymers, starburst dendrimers, urethanes and ureas.

Hydrosilylation of unsaturated aliphatic isocyanates

Novel radiopaqaue materials comprise heavy metal salts, such as bismuth and uraniuim salts complexed with a polymer. The metallic complexes which are permanent, nonleachable and have radiopacities at least equivalent to that of aluminum do not adversely affect the mechanical and physical properties of compositions. They are useful as medical and dental resins, in fabricating medical and dental appliances, prosthetic devices, radiation shielding devices and radiopaque polyester fabrics for clothing.

They are useful as medical and dental resins, in fabricating medical and dental appliances, prosthetic devices, radiation shielding devices and radiopaque polyester fabrics for clothing.

Radiopaque polymeric materials comprising halogenated barium salts, homogeneously distributed at the molecular level, provide permanent, nonleachable radiopacities at least equivalent to pure aluminum without adversely affecting mechanical or physical properties of compositions in which they are employed.
