Polymers having multi-functional sites and a gel comprising a solvent swollen network of cross-linked polymer(s), of which at least one polymer comprises at least one multi-functional site. A multi-functional site is a sequence of more than one functional group. A multi-functional polymer is a polymer comprising one or more multi-functional sites and/or more than one functional group.
