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!

PAMPS PolyHIPEs: The Role of Shape, Porosity, and Sulfonate Group Density on Metal‐Ion Adsorption From Water
This study demonstrates how pore architecture, shape, and sulfonate group density influence the adsorption of Zn2+, Fe3+, and Al3+ by PAMPS polyHIPEs. Beads and monoliths exhibit distinct transport b...

In our new work, we "unlock" the potential of the azide-phosphine Staudinger reaction for the synthesis of various poly(arylene-iminophosphorane) networks. We demonstrate the applicability of these polymers processing them to glassy films or create foamy structures!

Catch up at our first paper from 2025, where we reviewed the use of transition metal-free chemistry to synthesize conjugated polymers.
Now out in @EurJOC! Big thanks to Dr. Tomaž Kotnik for his massive work! 💪💪
