Abstract

Very small amounts of certain metal ions promote copolymerization of aliphalic dicarboxylic acids with .alpha.,.beta.-ethylentically unsaturated monomers in an aqueous solution system maintained at a given pH range, whereby the amount of unreacted dicarboxylic acid monomer is significantly reduced while control of molecular weight of the resulting compolymers is maintained.
