Abstract The synthesis of a new crosslinked polymer by reaction of α, β-polyasparthydrazide and glutaraldehyde is reported. Different crosslinking degrees were obtained by varying the ratio between the aldehyde and the starting polymer. The crosslinked polymer was characterized by water swelling tests and thermal analysis. In particular, the crosslinking density and its effects on the glass transition temperature of the material were studied. Finally, the microstructure of the obtained polymer was observed using scanning electron microscopy.
