N,N-dichloropolystyrene sulfonamide as a decontaminant was synthesized in 5 steps from styrene monomer. Styrene was first polymerized. Then, sulfonation reaction was performed by H2SO4 (c) followed by chlorination with POCl3 obtain chlorosulfonated polystyrene. Amidification reaction was then applied to get sulfonamide resin. Sulfonamide resin was treated with sodium hypochloride to obtain N,N-dichloropolystyrene product. The products […]
Sol–gel chemistry is an efficient tool to control the morphology and reactivity of solids. Drying is the crucial step due to the capillary forces exerted during the classic ambient drying process, which induces the collapse of the wet gel porosity. The use of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), a newly found DCCA were found to be effective […]
