This paper presents the synthesis of microspheres based on methacrylic derivatives of chlorinated phenols and the sorption abilities of Cu(II) ions on the obtained microspheres. Synthesis of microspheres was carried out by emulsion-suspension polymerization [1]. As monomers used divinylbenzene (DVB) and methacrylic derivatives of chlorinated phenols: 4-chlorophenyl (4-ClPhMA); 2,4-dichlorophenyl (2,4-ClPhMA); 2,6-dichlorophenyl (2,6-ClPhMA), and 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl (2,4,6-ClPhMA) with the formulas given in Fig. 1 [2]. The chemical structures, morphology, and thermal properties of the microspheres were analyzed by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR/FT-IR) spectroscopy, optical microscope, and DSC analysis.
