Summary Unlike usual polyhydroxilic packing materials for liquid chromatography based on cross-linked agarose, CL-amylose and CL-dextrans (Sephadex), the cross-linked PVA gels exhibit an increase of swelling properties with the reticulation degree, up to a certain limit. Afterwards more advanced reticulation degrees induce a decrease in swelling capacities just as in case of other cross-linked polyhydroxilic polymers. This abnormal behaviour of CL-PVA was supposed as being due to the interchain hydrogen associations. IR spectra, X-ray data and 8 M urea treatments strongly supported our supposition pointing out a maximum association by hydrogen bonds in CL-PVA gels with a reduced degree of reticulation.
