Abstract: | Highly crosslinked copolymers of 1‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (VP) were obtained in the form of microspheres by combined suspension–emulsion polymerization. The porous structure of the copolymers was created by the use of proper diluents. The main parameters of porous structure were established in the dry and wet states. Three methods: inverse size‐exclusion chromatography (ISEC), nitrogen adsorption, and small X‐ray scattering (SAXS) were used in porous structure investigations. It was shown that the determined parameters strongly depend on the chosen method and the microspheres can be used as packing materials in chromatography. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
