Functional nanonetwork-structured polymers with inbuilt poly(acrylic acid) linings for enhanced adsorption†
Abstract
Functional nanonetwork-structured polymers with inbuilt poly(acrylic acid) linings were successfully synthesized by combining surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) and hypercrosslinking chemistry, and demonstrated superior adsorption performances toward basic dyes and heavy metal ions.
