A copoly CPE polyHIPE hydrogels with tunable ionic content are developed. Bisphenols (A, F, S and AF) are used as a model system to show how removal from water is governed by polymer design.

In our latest manuscript, we used relatively "old" PAMPS chemistry and explored how polyHIPE geometry, porosity, and sulfonate group density can be tuned to optimize ion exchange performance. Jointly with colleagues from #UniversityofSplitFacultyofScience!
