Ss. Yilmaz et al., SYNTHESIS OF THE NEW CATION-EXCHANGE RESINS HAVING POLY(STYRENE-CAPROLACTONE) UNITS, Turkish journal of chemistry, 21(4), 1997, pp. 270-276
The crosslinked polystyrene-polycaprolactone, PS-PCL-, block copolymer
s were prepared by the copolymerization of styrene and poly(caprolacto
n dimethylmethacrylate) (PCL-DM). The molecular weights of polycaprola
ctone, PCL, PCL-DM were 1250 and 2000. The swelling in H2O or CHCl3 of
the sulfonate and unsulfonated block copolymers were determined under
comparable conditions and investigated. The capacities of the obtaine
d ion exchange resins were 1.31 and 1.10 meq/g.
