Abstract
Tin-containing ionomers were synthesized by reaction of poly(ethylene/acrylic acid) with mono, di and trihalo-organostannanes using the interfacial condensation technique. The products contain tin ester bonding as evidenced by infrared and mass spectroscopy. They are insoluble but form tough transparent films on application of heat and pressure. The modified ionomer products were flexible with high degrees of substitution and contained both bridging and nonbridging structures with respect to bonding about the tin atom. The analogous products from poly(acrylic acid) were brittle with lower substitutions and contained on nonbridging structure.
