Abstract
The Li-, Na- and K salts of poly(itaconic acid) (PIA) were prepared by treating the polyacid with the corresponding aqueous hydroxide. The r esulting polysalts were analysed by elemental analysis, FTIR spectrosc opy and thermogravimetry. The results indicate that the polysalts are thermally more stable than the parent PIA, they all degrade in a simil ar manner and somewhat more complexly than the poly(methacrylic acid) salts.
