- ##STR12## wherein each of R1, R2, R3 and R4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl providing that a sufficient number of R1, R2, R3 and/or R4 are lower alkyl in said polymeric backbone to render said backbone non-crystallizing;
X is a divalent organic radical selected from --CH2 --CH2 --, --CH2 --CH2 --CH2 --CH2 --, --CH2 --CH2 --S--CH2 --CH2 -- or --CH2 --CH2 --O--CH2 --CH2 --;
n is 8 to 200; and
p is 0 or 1.
