Highly swellable glycidyl methacrylate terpolymers with styrene and a series of crosslinkers (divinyl benzene and ethylene, diethylene, and triethylene glycol dimethacrylates) were obtained by suspension polymerization. The loading capacities of the resins, their glass‐transition temperatures, and their swelling characteristics in 20 solvents were examined with respect to the monomer composition. A selected resin was modified for a cobalt–imine complex and tested as a catalyst in a model ring‐opening reaction. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007
