Process for the manufacture of functionalized resins from styrene, divinyl benzene and alkane dithiol

摘要

A process is provided for the production of functional group containing resins wherein an alkyl-dithiol is added to the polymerizing mixture of styrene and divinyl benzene part way through the polymerization. On completion of the polymerization, the product is a thiol functionalized styrene-divinyl benzene resin.
