Abstract
Polyol (allyl carbonate), e.g., diethylene glycol bis(allyl carbonate), are polymerized in solution, i.e., in an organic solvent, until from about 20 to 50 percent of the allylic carbon-carbon linkages are consumed. The solvent is then removed yielding a product that is a gel-free, syrupy viscous liquid of unpolymerized monomer and polymer. This liquid polymer can be polymerized to a hard, transparent material with less shrinkage. Also described is the addition of mono- or polyfunctional acrylates to the liquid polymer to product a polymerizable mixture that can be cured quickly with the addition of a free-radical initiator.
