Abstract: The invention discloses a process for the preparation of polymeric absorbents useful for gelling organic liquids. The process comprises mixing one or more monomers with a cross-linking agent, a free radical initiator, an optional solvent, optionally in the presence of a transition metal source and subjecting the mixture so obtained to a conventional polymerisation method. The polymer is removed, crushed to obtain polymer powder, washed with solvent and dried by conventional methods to remove unreacted monomers, followed by swelling in alcohols to obtain the desired product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of thermoprecipitating affinity polymers useful in the enhanced recovery of enzymes. The process comprises polymerising a monomer comprising a spacer and a co-monomer with a polymerisation initiator and a polymerisation accelerator at ambient temperature and pressure for a period ranging between 2 to 24 hours to obtain a polymer and then linking an inhibitor to pendant carboxyl groups of the spacers in the polymer to obtain an affinity polymer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers useful for separation of enzymes, which comprises the steps of reacting a complex of enzyme and affinity monomer, a comonomer and a crosslinker, with a polymerization initiator and a polymerization accelerator at ambient temperature and pressure for a period ranging between 2 to 24 hrs, thereby obtaining a crosslinked polymer, crushing the cross linked polymer obtained to fine particles, adding a solvent and extracting imprinted enzyme from the polymer, obtaining the molecularly imprinted polymer, contacting the imprinted polymer with aqueous solution containing imprinted enzyme or a mixture of imprinted enzyme and other enzymes and isolating the enzyme-adsorbed polymer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a polymer for the controlled release of a pendent chain linked active ingredient, and a process for the preparation of such a polymer for the controlled release of an active ingredient in response to pH. The process involves selecting a vinyl monomer to which the active ingredient molecule is covalently linked through a pendent group, and selecting monomers bearing catalytic groups. The active ingredient-bearing monomer and the catalytic group-containing monomer are brought in juxtaposition either by complexation or molecular imprinting, and then polymerized with a hydrophilic monomer and crosslinker under an inert atmosphere with a suitable polymerization initiator.

Abstract: The invention provides a polymer composed of vinyl monomers bearing imidazole, hydroxyl and carboxyl groups arranged in proximity to each other, that exhibits hydrolytic activity similar to serine proteases, and a process for its preparation. The polymer is useful for the hydrolysis of esters and amides to the corresponding alcohols and amines.
