A polyvinyl pyrrolidone terpolymer system is described that can be chemically cross‐linked at moderate, 70–100°C, temperatures. The system has significant potential for development of durable long‐lasting pyrrolidone coatings in a wide range of applications, particularly in water filtration membrane construction where leaching is an unresolved, serious problem. The synthesis of the terpolymer, poly( N ‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone‐ co ‐vinyl acetate‐ co ‐glycidyl methacrylate), by free radical polymerization is described. The reactive features of this terpolymer are presented in the context of acidic anhydride curing. In a polar aprotic solvent, the terpolymer is reacted with poly(methyl vinyl ether‐ co ‐maleic acid) and cured thermally. Key aspects of the terpolymer synthesis and the acid anhydride cross‐linking reaction using DSC, rheology, FTIR, and a small molecule model system to study the cross‐linking chemistry are presented. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
