Abstract

Compositions comprising a polymer resin comprising at least one copolymer with hydrolysable groups, an amino acid or diearboxylic acid water-generating organic compound, and a catalyst that comprises a metal atom and at least two ligands taken from the set alkyloxy and earhcxylate are used to form articles that moisture-cure through in-situ generation of water via ring-closing dehydration reactions.
