Abstract
Hydroscopic polymer gels can be formed by applying a water soluble or water dispersible polymer on a surface and allowing water to be sequestered from the atmosphere into the polymer. The polymer gels provides for easier next time cleaning. In addition, the surfaces of textiles and related materials can be engineered by the formation of polymer gel films thereon. Polymer gels also provide a vehicle by which sites of chemical reactions can be localized.
