Crosslinked polymers are prepared by reacting mutually reactive side groups, comprising reacting polymer chains containing carbonyl side groups, optionally protected, and 1,2- or 1,3-diol side groups, optionally protected, in the presence of an acid catalyst, thereby forming crosslinking bridges between polymer chains. Crosslinked polymers are also prepared in which polymer chains are bonded together by a low molecular weight crosslinking agent.

Method of crosslinking organic polymers

Aqueous binders for liquid coating agents which contain a film-forming, aqueous plastic dispersion and a crosslinking component can be stored in ready-to-use form and quickly harden after being processed into a coating, at room temperature or a temperature just slightly above, forming a hard, dry, crosslinkable film. The plastic dispersion is an emulsion polymer with polymerized units of an ethylenically-unsaturated, radically polymerizable monomer with an alkylene urea side group. The crosslinking agent contains at least two, possibly protected, aldehyde groups.
