"Design of hyper-cross-linked polymers with tunable polarity for effect" by Qianqian Wang, Shuaihua Zhang et al.
Aflatoxins (AFs) as a category of polar mycotoxins possess a significant threat to human health. However, constructing of sorbents with suitable polarity for the preconcentration of AFs remains poorly developed due to the difficulty in tuning the polarity of the sorbents optionally. Herein, a series of novel hypercrosslinked polymers (OP-HCPs) with adjustable polarity were designed and synthesized by varying selection of alkylphenol ethoxylates monomers and benzyl halides crosslinkers for the preconcentration of AFs. By integration of magnetism into OP-HCP, a novel magnetic sorbent (M-OP10-DCX...
