1. Bulk process for reacting at a temperature of from 100°

  • -300°

    C. for a period of from less than one minute to six hours in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst selected from the group consisting of BF3.etherate, tetrabutyl-titanate, zinc chloride, stannous chloride, aluminum isoproperoxide, zinc acetate and mixtures thereof, a polymer component which is a member of the group consisting of a polyacrylate containing hydroxyl alkyl moieties, a poly(vinyl alcohol) containing reactive hydroxyl groups and mixtures thereof, with a cyclic ester component having the formula ##STR3## wherein n is at least one, at least n+1R are hydrogen, and the remainder of the R'"'"'s are hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy or single ring aromatic hydrocarbon radicals;

    said cyclic ester component being present in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 moles per mole of hydroxyl group on said polymer component and being selected to be substantially miscible with the polymer component at the conditions of the reaction, said process being carried out without use of a solvent.
