Functionalization of PolyHIPE Monolithic Materials by Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine

Abstract
The preparation of monolithic PolyHIPEs with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine are presented. Monolithic polymer supports and scavengers were prepared via nucleophilic displacement of chlorine in poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride-co-divinylbenzene) PolyHIPE materials. PolyHIPE functionalized with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine to yield product with high degrees of conversion. The extent of the functionalization reactions was investigated by a range of qualitative and quantitative techniques: FTIR, CHN analysis, potenciometric measurmensts, and (BET) measurements have been performed. Keywords: Monolithic Polyhipe, Polymeric Scavenger Reagents, High Surface Area.
