Synthesis of Metal-Complexating Latices via Polymerization in Microemulsion

Antonietti, Markus; Lohmann, Sabine; Eisenbach, Claus D.; Schubert, Ulrich S.

Abstract:

Microlatex dispersions with ca. 120 m2 bipyridine-functionalized surface per g polymer were synthesized via copolymerization in microemulsion using two new cornonomers containing bipyridine groups. The resulting polymer particles were used for binding diverse metal ions in water as well as in organic solvents. Binding of the ions usually occurs intramolecularly. The colloidal characteristics of the dispersions are preserved.
