Abstract: Polymers of 4-acetoxystyrene are hydrolyzed by methanolysis with quaternary ammonium hydroxides to poly-p-vinylphenol. Such polymers are useful in photoresists and in the manufacture of metal treatment compositions.
Abstract: Polymers of 4-acetoxystyrene are hydrolyzed to polymers of p-vinylphenol with ammonium hydroxide followed by sparging with carbon dioxide. Such polymers are useful in photoresist and as protective coatings for metal.
