Sv. Amosova et al., ANTISEPTIC AND SORPTION PROPERTIES OF 2-VINYLOXYETHYL ISOTHIOCYANATE HOMOPOLYMERS, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 67(4), 1994, pp. 605-607
Homopolymerization of 2-vinyloxyethyl isothiocyanate yields polymers o
f either cross-linked or linear structure, depending on conditions of
the process. Linear soluble homopolymer of d-vinyloxyethyl isothiocyan
ate has a high antiseptic activity, while partially cross-linked insol
uble homopolymer of 2-vinyloxyethyl isothiocyanate is a selective merc
ury sorbent from 1-7 M solutions of sulfuric and nitric acids, the sor
ption capacities from these solutions being 240 and 230 mg . g(-1), re
spectively.
