Abstract:The pollution of water by heavy metal ions poses a serious threat to human beings and ecosystems. Here, we report "one-pot" preparation of bifunctional anisotropic particles for the removal of Cu(II) ions from water. By introducing an asymmetric cross-linker that has uneven reactivity of polymerization, the regulation of anisotropic polymeric particle morphologies on a larger scale of the cross-linker content (within 10−40%) could be accomplished. Through the regulation of composition and conditions, a series … Show more
