Covalent organic nanospheres: facile preparation and application in high-resolution gas chromatographic separation

Abstract

Covalent organic nanospheres (CONs), a new kind of nanospherical polymer, were fabricated by a facile and rapid room-temperature solution-phase strategy. CONs can be used as a new excellent separation medium in high-resolution gas chromatography due to their uniform morphology, good dispersion, and outstanding thermal and solvent stability.
