What is it about?

A novel polyvinyltetrazole-grafted resin with a high capacity for the adsorption of heavy metal ions was prepared via surface-initiated transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of acrylonitrile on chloromethylated crosslinked styrene-divinylbenzene resin and a subsequent cyano-tetrazole conversion reaction under microwave assistance.

Why is it important?

The resin could be potentially applied to the efficient removal of heavy metal ions from waste water.
