  • Example 1 To 100 ml. of 12.5% gel are added 30 ml. of poly(3- methacryloyloxypropane-l-sulfonic acid, sodium salt) 16.5% solids). To this are added 100 ml. of a saturated solution of [Co(NH ]Cl This mixture is chill-set, noodled and washed for 12 hours until there is no detectable chloride ion in the wash water. Analysis gives 0.187 wt. Co. The gel is 5.0%.

An additional 25 ml. of poly(3- methacryloyloxypropane-l-sulfonic acid, sodium salt) are added until the solution clears. This is chill-set with stirring, noodled and washed until excess chloride is removed. It is then remelted and analyzed to give 0.578 wt. Co. in about 6% gel.
