| abstract |
A method of forming a highly adsorptive polymer. which includes the steps of: a) homogeneously mixing a solution of a monomer consisting exclusively of one or more types of polyunsaturated monomer, a monomer solvent and an initiator, b) polymerizing the monomers to form a polymer. wherein the monomer solvent is a solvent for the monomers and a non-swelling non-solvent for the polymers, and c) removing the solvent from the polymer to form a dry powder. |
