Abstract
Materials for decontamination of compounds having a phosphorous-sulfur bond or a phosphorous-oxygen bond. A porous polymer, such as poly(dicyclopentadiene), contains particles of zirconium hydroxide. The polymer optionally has hydroperoxide groups.
Claims6
A composition comprising:
- particles comprising zirconium hydroxide;
- and
- a polymer comprising hydroperoxide groups.
A method comprising:
- providing an emulsion comprising:
- a monomer;
- particles comprising zirconium hydroxide;
- and
- water;
- polymerizing the monomer to form a porous polymer embedded with the zirconium hydroxide particles;
- and
- exposing the polymer to oxygen to form hydroperoxide groups on the polymer.
