Embolic compositions comprising macromers having a backbone comprising a polymeric backbone comprising units with a 1,2-diol or 1,3-diol structure, such as polyvinyl alcohol, and pendant chains bearing crosslinkable groups and, optionally, other modifiers. When crosslinked, the macromers form hydrogels having many properties advantageous for use as embolic agents to block and fill lumens and spaces. The embolic compositions can be used as liquid embolic agents and crosslinked in situ or as preformed embolic articles, such as microspheres.

A preparation method of a crosslinking-type aqueous binder for lithium-ion batteries. An organic carboxylic group-, amino group- or hydroxyl group-containing hydrophilic polymer, and a hydroxyl group-, amine group- or carboxyl group-containing water-soluble small-molecule crosslinker, both serve as starting materials of the aqueous binder, and can be crosslinked by esterification or amidation under coating and drying conditions of lithium-ion battery electrode slurry. The preparation method of the crosslinking-type aqueous binder is simple, without the need of modifying the current process or conditions for lithium-ion battery manufacture. The obtained electrodes have excellent binding capacity, flexibility, and elasticity.

The invention provides a making method of modified polyvinyl alcohol embolic microspheres. First, polyvinyl alcohol dimethyl sulfoxide solution is added to acryloyl chloride dichloromethane solution for reaction, then taurine solution is added to the above solution for further reaction, so that functional groups are introduced into the side chains of polyvinyl alcohol, then blank microspheres are prepared by suspension crosslinking method, and finally, drug-loaded modified polyvinyl alcohol embolic microspheres are prepared. The invention aims at improving the drug loading rate and drug loading speed of the microspheres. Through modification, the crystallinity of polyvinyl alcohol is weakened, the swelling in water is accelerated, and the application effect of the microspheres is improved.
