ABSTRACT:
A poly(methylene oxalate) polymer, [poly(oxy(1,2-dioxo-1,2-ethanediyl)oxymethylene)], a bis(tetrabutylammonium) oxalate salt, methods of synthesis thereof and methods of use are provided. Poly(methylene oxalate) is nearly insoluble in all common organic solvents, does not melt and is resistant to fire. Applications are as a light-weight material for use at high temperatures, e.g., as a structural material in aircraft and space vehicles, as a binder for brake systems, and as an insulator for microelectronic components.
