Abstract
Several macroporous styrene–divinylbenzene copolymers were prepared using different diluents. The copolymers were chloromethylated with monochlor methyl ether and aminated with N,N‐dimethyl‐2‐hydroxyethylamine in order to perform strongly basic anion exchanger, type II. It was established that the network morphology of anion exchanger determines its ion‐exchange rate. It was, also established, by means of transmission electron microscopy, that chloromethylation reaction led to the morphological changes in the macromolecular network of the copolymers.
