What We Do

Fourier infrared analysis (FT-IR)

In the synthesis process of ion exchange resins, especially the introduction of functional groups, directly affect the ion exchange characteristics of the resin. The backbone structure and functional groups of the resin can be characterized by FT-IR. Some scholars added ionic functional groups to the cross-linked ion exchange resin to synthesize a new type of pH-sensitive ion exchange resin. They used FT-IR to confirm the formation of ionic microspheres. The results show that the carbonyl functional group of the acrylate has an obvious peak at 1680 cm^-1, and the absorption band at 2921 cm^-1 is due to the C-H stretching of the CH₂ group formed by the cross-linking reaction with DVB. The peak at 1128 cm^-1 is due to the stretching of the sulfonic acid group. In addition, there is a broad peak at 3438 cm^-1 due to the presence of residual water.

Scanning Electron Microscope Analysis (SEM)

The microscopic morphology of ionic resins can be observed by SEM. The researchers prepared a novel bifunctional amphiphilic adsorbent of amine and carboxyl by gamma irradiation and analyzed its morphology by SEM. It can be seen from Fig. 2 that the resin is formed by small aggregates containing highly porous surface structures. It was observed that the polymer contains a network of interconnected pore flows located in the micron range after the gamma polymerization process.
