Investigation of Chemical Crosslinking or Complexing of Water-Soluble Materials to Yield Water-Insoluble Materials

摘要

In an effort to produce resinous compounds for use in preventing passage of water through porous construction materials such as concrete, a series of crosslinking or complexing reactions were carried out to produce water-insoluble materials from water-soluble materials. None of the materials produced had mechanical and chemical properties equal or superior to those of polyvinyl alcohol precipitated by sodium sulfate. (Author)
