Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to highly porous, crosslinked bodies derived from nitrogen-containing polymers, and a process of producing the porous bodies which comprises dissolving a nitrogen-containing polymer to form a gel, ionically crosslinking the gel, and covalently further crosslinking the ionically crosslinked gel body.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
A process for producing crosslinked porous bodies of a chitosan hydrogel polymer comprising the steps of: (a) dissolving a chitosan polymer in water or an aqueous acid solution, (b) contacting the dissolved polymer solution with an anionic salt solution to form ionically crosslinked bodies, and (c) contacting the ionically crosslinked bodies with a covalent crosslinking agent to further crosslink covalently.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
A process for producing crosslinked porous bodies of a chitosan hydrogel polymer comprising the steps of: (a) dissolving a chitosan polymer in water or an aqueous acid solution, (b) contacting the dissolved polymer solution with an anionic salt solution to form ionically crosslinked bodies, and (c) contacting the ionically crosslinked bodies with a covalent crosslinking agent to further crosslink covalently.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
