Polymers based on divinylbenzene-crosslinked styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer can adsorb 100 per cent tobacco mosaic virus and more than 99.99 per cent polio virus from aqueous suspensions.
In this study, a new synthetic methodology for the functionalization of polystyrene (PS) has been developed, in which maleic anhydride was ... used to produce a graft copolymer.
