Abstract
Provided are porous polymeric materials, methods of making same, and methods of using same. The porous polymeric materials include crosslinked calixarene moieties. The porous polymeric materials can be added to a sample and absorb/adsorb pollutants present in the sample. The absorbed/adsorbed pollutant can further be isolated from the porous polymeric material. The porous polymeric materials can be recycled.
Claims19
A porous polymeric material comprising a plurality of calixarene moieties crosslinked by one or more crosslinking moieties, wherein the calixarene has the following structure:
- wherein
- R is at each occurrence in the polymeric material independently H, Na+, K+, Cs+, Li+;
- a polyether group or a polythioether group, or a combination thereof,
- two R groups are linked by a polyether moiety or polythioether moiety.
