Abstract

Cross-linked polymeric gels or films are prepared by dissolving in a suitable solvent a linear polymer or polymers containing pendant amidocarbonyl or oxycarbonyl groups, hydroxyl groups present as either pendant groups from the polymer or as a low molecular weight polyol, and a strongly acidic catalyst (which may also be a pendant group on a polymer). The solvent is removed by coagulation and/or drying and the dry material is heat-cured, thus cross-linking and insolubilizing the polymer or polymers.
