Hydrophilic polymer nanofibre networks for rapid removal of aromatic compounds from water

Hydrophobic mesoporous polymer nanofibre networks were converted to hydrophilic ones by a mild sulfonation reaction. The resultant mesoporous polystyrene with a large free surface area effectively captured water-soluble dye molecules and allowed aromatic compounds to rapidly permeate into the intern...

Summary:Hydrophobic mesoporous polymer nanofibre networks were converted to hydrophilic ones by a mild sulfonation reaction. The resultant mesoporous polystyrene with a large free surface area effectively captured water-soluble dye molecules and allowed aromatic compounds to rapidly permeate into the internal binding sites.
