sorption

The crosslinked copolymers of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate with polyvinylpyrrolidone as granules and membranes have been synthesized and their penetration and sorption-desorption properties have been investigated. The model of mass-transfer from the solid soluble surface through the hydrogel shell has been suggested. The developed materials are able to create encapsulated and granular polymer forms of drugs prolonged release.

Sorption properties of polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymers regarding to different acid-base indicators, as well as heparin and iodine have been investigated. The amount of sorption active centers of synthesized copolymers depends upon synthesis conditions, namely upon temperature and initiator amount, and is determined by the nature of sorbates and copolymers functional groups.

Nanocomposites “activated carbon–zirconium(IV) oxide” were synthesized by homogeneous precipitation. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray analysis and electron microscopy. The chemical composition of the nanocomposites was determined by the thermal analysis. Sorption properties were determined. The degree of phosphate ions removal was almost 97 %.
