A process for reacting a condensate, a partial condensate, a polymer or a partial polymer comprising structural units having structure (IIb)
- wherein R1, Ra, R′, X1, and Y can be identical or different and have following meaning:
- Ra is an open-chain and/or cyclic alkylene, arylene, or alkylene-arylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms in each case, which can be interrupted by one or more oxygen or sulfur atoms or carboxyl or amino groups or can carry such atoms/groups at its end opposite the silicon atom,
- R1 is an open-chain and/or cyclic alkylene, arylene, or alkylene-arylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms in each case, substituted with Y, which can be interrupted by one or more oxygen or sulfur atoms or carboxyl or amino groups or can carry such atoms/groups at one of its ends,
- R′ is an open-chain and/or cyclic alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or alkylaryl, or arylalkyl group,
- B* is a straight-chain or branched organically polymerizable group with at least one C═C double bond and at least 2 carbon atoms, or is such a straight-chain or branched organically polymerizable group, the double bond of which has already reacted,
- X1 is a group which can enter into a hydrolytic condensation reaction under formation of Si—O—Si bridges,
- Y means —OH or —COOH,
- and R4 has the meaning of a bond to another silicon atom, optionally instead of this partially also to another metal atom which can be inserted to silicic acid heteropolycondensates, and in given cases can partly instead be hydrogen,
- a is 1 or 2,
- b is 0 or 1, and
- d is 1, 2 or 3,
- wherein said condensate, a partial condensate, a polymer, or a partial polymer comprising structural units of structure (IIb), is reacted via reaction at group Y with a compound having the structure (IV)
- Q-R5[-Q′]c, (IV)
- where each of Q and Q′ independently means —NCO, —OH, or —C(O)X′, where —C(O)X′ means a carboxylic acid, an acid anhydride or an activated carbonyl compound in which X′ is a chloride and
- where each of Q and Q′ can be —NCO or —C(O)X′, when the condensates or a polymerisate of structure (IIb) as defined above comprises groups Y having the meaning
- —OH, and
- where each of Q and Q′ independently can be —NCO or —OH—, when the condensates/polymerisates of structure (IIb) as defined above comprise groups Y having the meaning —COOH,
- where R5 means a single bond only when each of Q and Q′ independently are activated carboxylic acid groups and c is equal to 1, otherwise R5 is a radical with c+1 valences wherein c is 1 or an integer greater than 1.
