  • Iminoimidazolidinedione and parabanic acid polymers containing imide groups
    Patent number: 3933758
    Abstract: Novel iminoimidazolidinedione polymers containing imide groups (hereinafter PIPA-IM) are prepared from mixtures of dianhydrides, hydrogen cyanide and diisocyanates in an appropriate solvent and with an appropriate catalyst. The cyanide ion is an effective catalyst for all of the reactions involved. Hydrolysis of these polymers produces novel parabanic acid polymers containing imide groups (hereinafter PPA-IM).
