sinkioner
Sinkioner is a term used in some theoretical and review contexts to describe a class of ion-conducting polymer networks designed to sorb or immobilize ions from liquids. In this sense, sinkioner materials combine fixed ionic groups with a porous polymer matrix to enable selective uptake, transport, or release of particular ions under controlled conditions.
The structure of sinkioners typically features a crosslinked polymer backbone with covalently attached ionic sites, such
Synthesis and properties commonly involve polymerization of functional monomers followed by post-polymerization modification, or grafting of
Applications discussed in the literature include water treatment and remediation, selective ion separation, and roles in
