I have a liquid polyanhydride that is not soluble in water made from succinic acid and ricinoleic acid and I need to make it a hard gel. Investigating I found that it is possible to do this by crosslinking, however, this is carried out with polymers such as cellulose or dextran and crosslinkers such as citric acid or glutaraldehyde are used, which are soluble in water.
My question is whether it is possible to carry out crosslinking using these water soluble agents, and if not, what crosslinking might serve and what method of crosslinking would be appropriate?
Dear Ricardo Cedeño, why not trying a mixture of Solvents (water+solvent), the second solvent should be good for the polymer and at the same time miscible with water. If this is possible try different proportions. My Regards
