Hydrophilic hypercrosslinked strong base ion-exchangers have been obtained by N-alkylation
with p-xylylene dichloride of 4-vinylpyridine followed by a spontaneous ionic polymerization of vinyl
groups. Porogens differing in their nature were employed.
The porous structure of sorbents depends on the porogen thermodynamic quality, which is
shown by comparing their sorption kinetic parameters with respect to small and medium size molecules
(phenol and cephalosporin C, respectively).
