Hypercrosslinked Polymeric Networks and Adsorbing Materials

Hypercrosslinked network polymers present a new class of polymeric materials with very wide application possibilities, including adsorption technology, ion exchange, HPLC, analytical chemistry, nanotechnology (nanocomposites), medical polymers

• First book describing the theory, practice of preparation and use of polymeric adsorbing materials with the emphasis on new hypercrosslinked polystyrene-type polymers


• Written by the originators of the concept of hypercrosslinked polymers


• Complex phenomena are explained by appealing to common sense, analogies and well-known effects, rather than complex mathematical treatment and computer modelling


• Reviews many Russian, German and even Czech language publications


• Contains numerous experimental data in the form of Figures and Tables
