    摘要: A blend of an E/X/Y copolymer, where E is ethylene, X is a vinyl ester, and Y is carbon monoxide or sulfur dioxide, with a polymer of vinyl halide or vinylidene halide is foamed and cured by dispersing in the blend a blowing agent and sulfur or a sulfur-releasing agent and heating the blend containing those additives at 100.degree.-180.degree. C. for a sufficient time to produce curing and foaming. This process can be run either continuously or batchwise in conventional equipment under conventional conditions in the presence of air. Plasticizers and other materials which often interfere with peroxide cures can be present in the process of this invention. The foamed and cured products have excellent physical properties and ozone resistance.

    摘要: Crosslinked compositions formed from water-insoluble copolymers are disclosed. These compositions are copolymers having a bioresorbable region, a hydrophilic region and at least two cross-linkable functional groups per polymer chain. Crosslinking of these polymers can be effected in solution in organic solvents or in solvent-free systems. If crosslinking occurs in a humid environment, a hydrogel will form. If crosslinking occurs in a non-humid environment, a xerogel will form which will form a hydrogel when exposed to a humid environment and the resulting crosslinked materials form hydrogels when exposed to humid environments. These hydrogels are useful as components in medical devices such as implantable prostheses. In addition, such hydrogels are useful as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents and as scaffolding for tissue engineering applications.
