Abstract

From the sea to the reactor: Nanoporous template-free initiators for atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were synthesized with surface and framework initiator sites and tailorable pore structures. Polyacrylonitrile grown on one initiator was converted into polyamidoxime to generate a uranium sorbent for seawater extraction with a high uptake rate and capacity relative to those of nonwoven irradiation-grafted polyethylene-fiber composites.
