A polymer having an acid number greater than 100. The polymer has a valent metal ion which is bonded to at least one reactive group. The characteristics of the polymer include, conductivities of 4 S/cm to 200 S/cm or more, depending upon the concentration and nature of the metal bound. The conductivity proportional to the amount of metal bound, the ability of the Polymer to bind metals having a +1, +2, +3, +4, or +5 valence charge to the polymer, and the ability to bind two or more different metals to separate binding sites on the polymer. The polymer is used to make a catalytic means. |
