Simple bromination of olefins almost invariably yields the trans-1,2-dibromo-product, and in many cases the corresponding cis-product is an unknown compound. Approaches towards a reagent which will generally, mildly and stereospecifically cis-brominate olefins are now discussed.
An optical material having a high birefringence and a small absolute value of a photoelastic coefficient is provided by use of a resin composition for an optical material comprising a resin (a) having a positive photoelastic coefficient and a negative inherent birefringence and a resin (b) having a negative photoelastic coefficient and a negative inherent birefringence.
A water-absorbing polymer composition which comprises a copolymer comprising recurring units of an α, β -unsaturated monomer bearing two groups each independently selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl group and a group convertible to a carboxyl group, and recurring units of a copolymerizable monomer; and a polyether derived from C2 to C10 alkylene oxides; wherein at least a portion of the said two groups attached to the recurring α, β -unsaturated monomer units ofthe copolymer either have hydrogen atoms thereen or are reacted to form hydrogen atoms thereon; and, wherein at least a portion of the oxide groups of the polyether are interacted with the hydrogen atoms such that the copolymer and the polyether are associated through hydrogen bonds, is disclosed.
Water-insoluble, water swellable polymer compositions comprising an at least partially hydrolyzed copolymer of styrene and an α,β- ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and a multi arm block copolymer of styrene and ethylene oxide attached to the copolymer by hydrogen bonding. In a preferred embodiment, the anhydride groups of the anhydride-containing copolymer are treated with a strong base to further enhance absorption capacity.

A copolymer of recurring units of at least one α,β -unsaturated monomer and recurring units of at least one copolymerizable comonomer comprising, in its preferred embodiment from about 20 to about 80 percent pendant carboxylic acid units and from about 80 to about 20 percent pendant carboxylate salt units, is blended with at least one monomer containing at least two hydroxyl groups to produce a water-absorbing composition upon curing. The composition is particularly suitable for fiber formation.
