Polystyrene–divinylbenzene based nano-CaCO3 composites for the efficient removal of human tumor necrosis factor-α†
Abstract
PS-DVB/nano-CaCO3, a novel abundant mesoporous structured polymer nano-composite, was successfully synthesized via suspension polymerization. Characterization of this type of bead nano-composite demonstrated that it exhibits significantly enhanced TNF-α adsorption from blood plasma and possesses good mechanical strength.
