SYNOPSIS Mixtures of maleimidomethylated polystyrene with difurfuryl adipate or with furfuryl alcohol-esterified poly [ styrene-co-(maleic anhydride)] underwent thermally reversible Diels-Alder crosslinking. Reversal of crosslinking occurred rapidly at 150°C. The instability of the furfuryl group, however, limits the practicability of the reaction. 0 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
