Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to partially hydrophilic, non-ionic crosslinked copolymers. These copolymers consist of a crosslinked hydrophobic backbone having a high mechanical strength, and of non-ionic hydrophilic chains grafted selectively onto the backbone. The copolymers are useful for size exclusion chromatography in an aqueous medium.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
58 words
A partially hydrophilic, non-ionic crosslinked copolymer having a three-dimensional network, which consists essentially of a crosslinked hydrophobic backbone of polystyrene having a high mechanical strength and of non-ionic hydrophilic chains of polyoxirane grafted selectively onto said backbone, the grafting of the hydrophilic non-ionic chains onto the hydrophobic backbone of the copolymer being achieved by carbanionic initiation with divinylbenzene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
58 words
A partially hydrophilic, non-ionic crosslinked copolymer having a three-dimensional network, which consists essentially of a crosslinked hydrophobic backbone of polystyrene having a high mechanical strength and of non-ionic hydrophilic chains of polyoxirane grafted selectively onto said backbone, the grafting of the hydrophilic non-ionic chains onto the hydrophobic backbone of the copolymer being achieved by carbanionic initiation with divinylbenzene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A process for the preparation of the copolymer according to claim 1 comprising: (a) crosslinking an α, ω-dicarbanionic polystyrene with divinylbenzene, (b) introducing oxirane into the swollen crosslinked polystyrene and (c) diffusing said oxirane throughout said crosslinked polystyrene and polymerizing said oxirane in situ.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process according to claim 2, wherein said oxirane is diffused slowly at low temperature and polymerization is effected by increasing the temperature of the reaction medium up to 25° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process according to claim 2, wherein said oxirane is uniformly distributed in the network of the crosslinked polystyrene.
