Abstract
Acetal copolymers of trioxane with epoxy functional groups are obtained by copolymerizing trioxane with 5,6-epoxy-1,3-dioxepane. The epoxide group in the polymer chain provides a highly reacting functional group for further modification. Acetal copolymers with backbone epoxide groups exhibit toughness and thermal stability. The backbone epoxide groups can also be aminated in a one step hydrolysis-amination process.
