Abstract
Description
[Background technology]
[0001] Organic micropollutants (MPs) are present in concentrations of ngL -1 ~μgL -1 present in water resources at concentrations of 1,2 Human health 3~7 and the environment 8~10 Due to concerns about the negative impact on the environment, efforts are underway to develop technologies to more effectively remove MP. 11~16 MPs vary widely in their physicochemical properties, including surface charge, size, and chemical functionality. Charged MPs can be cationic, anionic, or zwitterionic, and are typically difficult to remove using traditional adsorption methods, such as activated carbon, in the presence of complex matrix components such as natural organic matter (NOM). Among anionic MPs, PFASs are of particular environmental concern due to their resistance to biodegradation and their correlation with adverse health effects. PFASs are used in the formulation of thousands of consumer products. 1 , contained in water-based foam formulations used to suppress aviation fires in training situations. 18,19 As a result, PFAS have contaminated surface and groundwater near thousands of airports and military facilities. 20 In 2016, Hu and colleagues reported that at least 6 million Americans were exposed to levels below the 2016 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency health advisory limit of 70 ng / L for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). -1 indicated that they were provided with drinking water contaminated with PFAS or more 21 PFAS can cause cancer 3 , liver damage 4 , thyroid disease 5 and other health problems 6 .
[0002] Contaminated water systems are typically remediated with granular activated carbon (GAC), but this is an expensive, temporary solution due to its lack of affinity for PFAS, especially its short-chain derivatives. 23,24 In a recent report 14,15It was found that non-covalent interactions and electrostatic charges of functional groups influence the affinity of PFASs for adsorbents. For example, the fluorophilic interactions of the crosslinker, combined with the low concentration of anionic functional groups in decafluorobiphenyl-bridged CDP, resulted in high removal rates of PFOA and PFOS from water. In contrast, CDP crosslinked with epichlorohydrin showed low removal rates of PFASs. 25 .
[0003] Adsorption processes can be used to remove specific pollutants or pollutant classes from fluids such as air and water. Activated carbon (AC) is the most widely used adsorbent for removing organic pollutants, owing primarily to its high surface area, nanostructured pores, and hydrophobicity. However, not a single type of AC can effectively remove all pollutants, especially anionic MPs. Due to their ill-defined structure and varying binding sites, optimal adsorption selectivity requires empirical screening on new equipment, preventing rational design and improvement. Furthermore, regeneration of spent AC is energy-intensive (heating to 500–900 °C or other energy-intensive procedures), and full performance cannot be restored. AC also has a slow contaminant uptake rate, reaching its uptake equilibrium within hours to days; therefore, excess adsorbent is required for more rapid contaminant removal. Finally, AC may not perform well against many emerging pollutants, especially those that are relatively hydrophilic.
[0004] An alternative adsorbent material can be fabricated from polymeric cyclodextrin materials, which are made from insoluble polymers of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). This material is a toroidal macrocyclic compound composed of seven glucose units, with an internal cavity that can bind organic compounds. β-CD is an inexpensive and sustainably produced monomer derived from corn starch, and is widely used in the formulation and stabilization of pharmaceuticals, flavors, and fragrances, as well as stationary phases in chiral chromatography. The insoluble β-CD polymers are formed by crosslinking epichlorohydrin with other reactive compounds, resulting in well-defined binding sites and It is characterized by a high association constant. Insoluble β-CD polymers cross-linked with epichlorohydrin have been investigated as a replacement for AC for water purification, but their sorbent performance is inferior to that of AC due to their low surface area.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for new sorbents that overcome the shortcomings of AC and the like and provide more effective sorption and / or sequestration properties for MPs (e.g., anionic MPs). There is a need for sorbents that provide rapid anionic MP extraction, high total uptake, and easy regeneration and reuse procedures. The present invention fulfills these needs.

[0015] As used above, and throughout this disclosure, the following terms, unless otherwise indicated, shall be understood to have the following meanings: In the absence of a term, conventional terms known to those skilled in the art shall prevail.
[0016] As used herein, the terms "including," "containing," and "comprising" are used in their open, non-limiting sense.
[0017] The articles "a" and "an" are used in this disclosure to refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, "an element" means one element or more than one element.
[0018] The term "and / or" is used in this disclosure to mean either "and" or "or," unless otherwise indicated.
[0019] For the sake of simplicity, some of the quantitative expressions given herein are not modified with the term "about." Whether or not the term "about" is explicitly used, it should be understood that all quantities given herein are intended to mean the actual given value, and also the approximation to such a given value that can be reasonably inferred based on ordinary skill in the art, including equivalent values and approximations based on experimental and / or measurement conditions for such a given value. Whenever a yield is expressed as a percentage, such a yield is the same actual amount that can be obtained under specific stoichiometric conditions. The yield refers to the mass of the entity for which it is expressed in relation to the maximum amount of the entity. Unless otherwise specified, concentrations given as percentages refer to mass ratios.
[0020] The terms adsorbent or adsorbing, when used in reference to compositions or methods of the present disclosure, refer to solid materials described herein that remove contaminants or pollutants, typically, but not limited to, organic molecules, from a fluid medium such as a liquid (e.g., water) or gas (e.g., air or other commercially useful gases such as nitrogen, argon, helium, carbon dioxide, anesthetic gases, etc.).

[0035] The present disclosure provides porous (e.g., microporous or mesoporous), generally high surface area, cyclodextrin polymer materials (P-CDPs), as well as methods for making and using these materials. P-CDPs are composed of insoluble polymers of cyclodextrin, a macrocyclic compound of glucose, that are inexpensively and sustainably produced. The cyclodextrin polymers are crosslinked with linking groups described herein. The cyclodextrin polymers are composed of cyclodextrin moieties derived from cyclodextrin. The cyclodextrin moieties can be derived from naturally occurring cyclodextrins (e.g., α-, β-, and γ-, containing 6, 7, and 8 glucose units, respectively) or synthetic cyclodextrins. The cyclodextrin moieties have at least one -O- bond derived from an -OH group on the cyclodextrin from which the cyclodextrin moiety is derived. The cyclodextrin moiety can contain 3 to 20 glucose units (including all ranges between those values), and can be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 , 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 glucose units. In many embodiments, the cyclodextrin moiety is derived from starch and contains 6 to 9 glucose units. The polymeric material can contain two or more different cyclodextrin moieties. In certain embodiments, P-CDP is composed of an insoluble polymer of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD).
[0036] P-CDP may also include cyclodextrin derivatives or modified cyclodextrins. Cyclodextrin derivatives are primarily composed of molecules in which some of the OH groups have been converted to OR groups. Cyclodextrin derivatives can have one or more additional moieties that impart additional functionality, such as desirable solubility and affinity properties. Examples of suitable cyclodextrin derivative materials include methylated cyclodextrins (e.g., RAMEB, randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin), hydroxyalkylated cyclodextrins (e.g., hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin), acetylated cyclodextrins (e.g., acetyl-γ-cyclodextrin), reactive cyclodextrins (e.g., chlorotriazinyl-β-CD), branched cyclodextrins (e.g., glucosyl-β-cyclodextrin and maltosyl-β-cyclodextrin), sulfobutyl-β-cyclodextrin, and sulfated cyclodextrins. For example, the cyclodextrin moiety further comprises a moiety that binds (eg, specifically) a metal such as arsenic, cadmium, copper, or lead.
[0037] P-CDP also includes cyclodextrin derivatives with short alkyl chains, such as methylated cyclodextrins and ethylated cyclodextrins, where R is a methyl or ethyl group; - those with hydroxy substituents such as hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin and / or hydroxyethyl cyclodextrin, where R is CH2CH2-OH; branched cyclodextrins such as maltose-linked cyclodextrin; cationic cyclodextrins such as those containing 2-hydroxy-3-(dimethylamino)propyl ether, where R is CH2-CH(OH)-CH2-N(CH3)2, which is cationic at low pH; + (CH3)3Cl -quaternary ammonium, such as the 2-hydroxy-3-(trimethylammonio)propyl ether chloride group; anionic cyclodextrins, such as carboxymethyl cyclodextrin, sulfate cyclodextrin, and succinyl cyclodextrin; amphoteric cyclodextrins, such as carboxymethyl / quaternary ammonium cyclodextrin; "Optimal Performances with Minimal Chemical Modification of Cyclodextrins," F.

For example, in some embodiments, the porous polymeric material has a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of about 10 m 2 / g, 20m 2 / g, 30m 2 / g, 40m 2 / g, 50m 2 / g, 75m 2 / g, 100m 2 / g, 150m 2 / g, 200m 2 / g, 250m 2 / g, 300m 2 / g, 350m 2 / g, 400m 2 / g, 450m 2 / g, 500m 2 / g, 550m 2 / g, 600m 2 / g, 650m 2 / g, 700m 2 / g, 750m 2 / g, 800m 2 / g, 850m 2 / g, 900m 2 / g, 950m 2 / g, 1000m 2 / g, 1050m 2 / g, 1100m 2 / g, 1150m 2 / g, 1200m 2 / g, 1250m 2 / g, 1300m 2 / g, 1350m 2 / g, 1400m 2 / g, 1450m 2 / g, 1500m 2 / g, 1550m 2 / g, 1600m 2 / g, 1650m 2 / g, 1700m 2 / g, 1750m 2 / g, 1800m 2 / g, 1850m 2 / g, 1900m 2 / g, 1950m 2 / g~about 2000m2 / g, including all integers and ranges therebetween. In some embodiments, the porous polymeric material has an amine content of about 0 mmol / g to about 1.0 mmol / g. In some embodiments, the porous polymeric material has an amine content of about 0.1 mmol / g to about 1.0 mmol / g. In some embodiments, the porous polymeric material has an amine content of about 0.15 mmol / g to about 0.35 mmol / g. For example, in some embodiments, the amine content is about 0.15 mmol / g, about 0.16 mmol / g, about 0.17 mmol / g, about 0.18 mmol / g, about 0.19 mmol / g, about 0.20 mmol / g, about 0.21 mmol / g, about 0.22 mmol / g, about 0.23 mmol / g, about 0.24 mmol / g, about 0.25 mmol / g, about 0.26 mmol / g, about 0.27 mmol / g, about 0.28 mmol / g, about 0.29 mmol / g, about 0.30 mmol / g, about 0.31 mmol / g, about 0.32 mmol / g, about 0.33 mmol / g, about 0.34 mmol / g, and about 0.35 mmol / g, including all ranges therebetween. Without being bound by any particular theory, it has been discovered that by using neat CD (i.e., undried) in polymer synthesis, the resulting polymer has a higher amine content than similar polymers described in the prior art, resulting in a higher affinity for certain trace pollutants, such as PFAS.
[0067] In certain embodiments, the molar ratio of cyclodextrin to linking group of Formula (I), (II), or (III) ranges from about 1:1 to about 1:X, where X is three times the average number of glucose subunits in the cyclodextrin. In certain embodiments, the molar ratio of cyclodextrin to linking group of Formula (I), (II), or (III) is about 1:6. In certain embodiments, the molar ratio of cyclodextrin to linking group of Formula (I), (II), or (III) is about 1:5. In certain embodiments, the molar ratio of cyclodextrin to linking group of Formula (I), (II), or (III) is about 1:4.

In another embodiment, the molar ratio of cyclodextrin moieties to aryl bridging moieties is from about 1:2.5 to about 1:10.
[0068] In some embodiments, compositions according to the present disclosure include one or more porous polymeric materials of the present disclosure and one or more support materials, wherein the porous polymeric materials are bonded to the support materials (e.g., covalently bonded, adhesively, or mechanically bonded as described herein). For example, in some embodiments, the composition includes a porous polymeric material comprising a plurality of cyclodextrins crosslinked by a plurality of bridges having formula (I), (II), and / or (III). Examples of support materials include cellulose (e.g., cellulose fibers), activated carbon, graphene oxide, and carbon-based materials such as oxidized carbon materials, silica, alumina, natural or synthetic polymers, and natural or synthetic polymers modified to contain surface hydroxyl groups. Those skilled in the art will recognize any material that has suitable mechanical or other properties to function as a support and can be covalently bonded to a porous polymeric material or can function as a suitable support material when the porous polymeric material is adhesively bonded to the support by a suitable binder material. In one embodiment, the composition is in the form of a membrane or column packing. In one embodiment, the support is a fiber (e.g., cellulose, nylon, polyolefin, or polyester fiber). In one embodiment, the substrate is a porous particulate material (e.g., porous silica and porous alumina). In one embodiment, the substrate is a woven or nonwoven fabric. In one embodiment, the substrate is a garment (such as protective garment) or a surgical or medical drape, dressing, or sanitary product.
[0069] In some embodiments, P-CDP can be grafted or bonded (e.g., chemically or mechanically bonded) onto a support to provide an adsorbent with well-controlled particle size and morphology to provide ideal flow characteristics. The term refers to bonds formed between two materials by pressure, ultrasonic bonding, and / or other mechanical bonding processes that do not involve the intentional application of heat, such as mechanical entanglement. Physical entanglement and coating of microfibrils to hold micron-sized particulate matter in place are representative examples of mechanical bonds. The term mechanical bond does not include bonds formed using adhesives or chemical grafting. In some embodiments, P-CDP can be grafted or bonded (e.g., chemically or mechanically bonded) onto a support to provide an adsorbent whose particle size and morphology can be further manipulated (e.g., by granulation or milling) to provide particles with well-controlled particle size and morphology to impart ideal flow characteristics.
[0070] P-CDP-support composites can be prepared by a variety of methods, including conventional grafting. As used herein, the term "grafting" refers to covalently attaching P-CDP to a substrate surface via a coupling reaction between one or more functional groups on the P-CDP and one or more functional groups on the substrate. In some embodiments, grafting includes the "in situ" process described herein, in which a cyclodextrin, a linking group of the present disclosure, and a substrate having a surface-bound nucleophilic species (e.g., hydroxyl) are reacted with one another, and the linking group of the present disclosure reacts with the hydroxyl groups of the cyclodextrin and the surface nucleophilic species of the substrate to form a P-CDP partially attached to the substrate via one or more linking groups of the present disclosure. Substrates having surface-bound nucleophilic species include, but are not limited to, hydroxyl (e.g., microcrystalline cellulose), amines, phosphines, and thiols.
[0071] In some embodiments, "grafted" P-CDP support composites are prepared by first synthesizing P-CDP in a dedicated chemical reactor with appropriate control of reaction conditions and material purification to produce optimized P-CDP particles. The P-CDP is then chemically reacted with an appropriately functionalized substrate. For example, a substrate functionalized with a carboxylic acid group (or its activated form, such as an acid halide or anhydride, as known in the art) can react with one or more hydroxyls on the P-CDP to form an ester bond with the substrate. Alternatively, the P-CDP can be appropriately functionalized by subsequent modification of the P-CDP (e.g., by selection of a functionalized cyclodextrin, as described herein) so that it can react with appropriate functional groups on the substrate. Any suitable reaction chemistry may be contemplated, such as the reaction of carboxylic acid (and its derivatives) with hydroxyl to form an ester bond, the reaction of carboxylic acid (and its derivatives) with amine groups to form an amide bond, the reaction of isocyanate with alcohols to form urethanes, the reaction of isocyanate with amines to form ureas, the reaction of cyclic carbonates with amines to form urethanes, the reaction of thiols with alkenes or alkynes to form thioethers, the reaction of epoxides with amine groups, and the photochemical reaction of acrylates, methacrylates, thiols, etc. with olefins. The reactive functional groups described herein may be present on either the P-CDP or the substrate, provided that the reaction forms a covalent bond between the substrate and the P-CDP. For example, in the case of hydroxyl and carboxylic acid reactive functional groups (which form an ester bond after reaction), the hydroxyl group may be present on the P-CDP and the carboxyl group may be present on the substrate (or vice versa).
[0072] In other embodiments, the substrate can be coated with a "primer" having the reactive functional groups described above, which adheres to the surface of the substrate and can react under appropriate conditions with an appropriately functionalized P-CDP to form a covalent bond between the P-CDP and the primer.
[0073] P-CDP particles can be engineered to achieve a specific particle size. In some embodiments, P-CDP is produced in the form of crosslinked particles that may require further particle size reduction. The P-CDP is then mixed with a granular material (e.g., to form a stable dispersion or slurry or to provide optimal flow characteristics). Various means readily apparent to one skilled in the art can be used to reduce the particle size of P-CDP, such as grinding or milling. Grinding and milling can be used to create small particles, less than 1 micron in size. Common milling procedures are available to those skilled in the art, and include both wet and dry milling. Milling can be used in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, ball mills, autogenous mills, SAG mills, pebble mills, rod mills, bar stone mills, tower mills, vertical shaft impactor mills, and the like. Milling media include, but are not limited to, metals, silicates, and other inorganic materials in various form factors, including rods, balls, and irregular shapes. In some embodiments, milling is performed on dry P-CDP powder material in a dry process to produce a finer dry powder, or on a wet aqueous slurry of P-CDP powder, with or without an emulsifier, to produce a finer particulate dispersion. Emulsifiers, including but not limited to small molecule and polymeric surfactant compounds with nonionic, anionic, or cationic properties, can be used and will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the fine particulate form factor offers several advantages, including: (1) more stable aqueous dispersions that are less susceptible to separation and therefore remain uniform over time; (2) allowing for higher weight loadings, up to 50% by weight or more of the material in the dispersion; (3) producing particulate matter that can be uniformly coated or applied to a variety of substrates, surfaces, fibers, yarns, fabrics, and the like, producing finished materials with minimal perceptible changes to the "hand"; and (4) producing dispersions that are stable to dilution and mixing with other emulsions or solutions, such as binders, surfactants, wetting agents, or softeners. In some embodiments, the final particle diameter includes less than 1 micron, 1-5 microns, 5-10 microns, 10-15 microns, and 15-20 microns, or any range therebetween.
[0074] If larger particle sizes are desired, the composition can be granulated to form larger aggregates. Thus, in some embodiments, granules (e.g., self-supporting granules) are produced from P-CDP particle powders of various sizes. Generally, this process converts P-CDP particle powders in the 1-30 micron size range into granules of 100 microns, 200 microns, 300 microns, and larger. This process can be carried out by granulation techniques common to the pharmaceutical industry (Handbook of Granulation Technology, Ed. Parikh, DM, 2005, Taylor & Francis Group), in which powders are bound together by physical and / or chemical means in a batch or continuous mode. In its simplest form, P-CDP particles are mechanically blended with a fluid (e.g., aqueous) mixture containing an adhesive binder (usually a synthetic, semi-synthetic, or natural polymer). Suitable semi-synthetic polymers that can be used include cellulose ethers, specifically ethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, starch, and starch derivatives. Suitable fully synthetic polymers, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone or polyethylene glycol, can be used. Other suitable binders include sizes and other coatings used in the textile and paper industries, including polyamidoamine epichlorohydrin (PAE) or polymeric glyoxal crosslinkers, polyvinyl alcohol, and starch-based sizes. To produce durable granules that are less soluble in water or other solvents, further covalent crosslinking can be promoted by the addition of small molecule crosslinkers, such as glyoxal, formaldehyde, diisocyanate, and / or diepoxide functional groups. In addition to covalent crosslinking, electrostatic aggregation of polyelectrolytes can also be utilized as a binding motif, forming suitable adhesive properties when cationic polyelectrolytes are blended with anionic polyelectrolytes in the presence of P-CDP powder and / or a supporting structure. Polycations commonly used for aggregation include, but are not limited to, polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC), acidic polyethyleneimine, and polyacrylamide. Polyanions can include those commonly used in flocculation, including, but not limited to, sodium polyacrylate, sodium polystyrene sulfonate, and polyvinyl sulfonate.
[0075] Mechanical mixing during granulation can be accomplished by low-shear processes such as rotary drum mixing or overhead mechanical stirring. As will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, the stirring speed and overall length of stirring time will affect granule particle size. Granulation can also be accomplished in a fluidized bed or by spray-drying techniques. In either case, P-CDP particles are combined with an aqueous or solvent-based mixture containing a binder compound, and mechanical or physical stirring is carried out at a specified shear force for a predetermined number of cycles. The resulting particles exhibit a gradual growth change in the average particle diameter and may also exhibit changes in polydispersity. The physical properties of these granules depend on the binder selected, the crosslinking chemistry, and the physical process used for granulation. These larger granular particles are suitable for packed-bed column filtration, commonly used in water filtration and industrial separations.
[0076] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides stable aqueous dispersions containing P-CDP particles. In some embodiments, the P-CDP particles of the present disclosure that can be used in such stable aqueous dispersions have a size of about 1 μm to about 150 μm. For example, the P-CDP particles can have a size of about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 10 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84 , 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 12 The particle size ranges from 0, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, to about 150 μm. The stable aqueous dispersions can be used in "grafting" applications. For example, the stable aqueous dispersions can be used in applications involving mechanical packing and bonding, as well as chemical binders or fibrillating fibers for incorporation into the form factor of thermally bonded particulates and solution-processed polymers.
[0077] The P-CDP materials of the present disclosure can also be prepared on a support material (alternatively referred to as a "substrate") and can be covalently, adhesively, or mechanically bonded to a support such as a fibrous substrate. The support material can be any material having one or more groups (e.g., hydroxyl or amino, thiol, or phosphine, or other groups described herein) that can form an interaction (e.g., a covalent bond or mechanical bond) with a crosslinker or cyclodextrin. For example, one end of the crosslinker (e.g., a linking group of formula (I), (II), and / or (III)) is covalently bonded to the substrate material, and the other end of the crosslinker is covalently bonded to a reactive center on a cyclodextrin glucose unit or modified cyclodextrin (e.g., an acid halide or activated ester bound to the cyclodextrin). It is desirable that the support material does not dissolve under the conditions of use, e.g., in aqueous media (e.g., to an extent observable by visual inspection, gravimetric analysis, or spectroscopy). Examples of support materials include microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose nanocrystals, polymeric materials (e.g., acrylate materials, methacrylate materials, styrene materials (e.g., polystyrene), polyester materials, nylon materials, and combinations thereof), or inorganic materials (e.g., silicates, silicones, metal oxides such as alumina, titania, zirconia, and hafnia, etc.). Examples of suitable support materials include, but are not limited to, homopolymers, copolymers, or resins (e.g., resins containing polymeric materials). The support material can be hydroxyl- or amino-containing polymer beads or irregular particles. The support material can be in the form of a fiber (e.g., pulp, short-cut, staple fiber, and continuous filament), a fiber bundle (e.g., yarn (both spun and continuous filament)), a fiber mat (e.g., nonwoven (both staple and continuous filament)), a fabric (e.g., knit, woven, nonwoven), a membrane (e.g., film, spiral wound, and hollow fiber), a cloth, a particulate (e.g., powder), or a solid surface. In some embodiments, the fibrous substrate is a cellulosic substrate. The cellulosic substrate can include any suitable form of cellulose, such as cellulose derived from plant sources, such as wood pulp (e.g., paper or paper fiber), cotton, regenerated cellulose, modified cellulosics, such as cellulose esters and / or ethers, starch, polyvinyl alcohol, and derivatives thereof. The cellulosic substrate can be in the form of a fabric, such as a woven or nonwoven fabric, or as a fiber, film, or any other suitable shape that provides a particularly high surface area or porosity. In certain embodiments, the P-CDP material of the present disclosure is bonded to a fabric, such as a fiber, e.g., a cellulose fiber, or cotton.
[0078] In addition to the substrates described in the previous paragraph, the substrate may include any of the following: polyvinylamine, polyethyleneimine, proteins, protein-based fibers (e.g., wool), chitosan and amine-containing cellulose derivatives, polyamides, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, polyurethane, melamine, polyimides, polystyrene, polyacrylics, polyamides, acrylate butadiene styrene (ABS), Valnox, PVC, nylon, EVA, PET, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate, mixed cellulose esters, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or polytetrafluoroethylene (PFTE or Teflon®), polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, phosphine- or thiol-functional materials, and silicones, or combinations thereof. The substrate may also be composed of silicon or silicon oxide, or glass (e.g., as microfibers). Suitable materials further include fabrics or synthetic or natural fiber-based materials. The material may have any form or shape, for example in the form of sheets, beads, granules, rods, fibers, foams or tubes, and may be rigid, flexible or elastic.
[0079] If necessary, the material surface can be activated by any method known in the art, such as known surface activation techniques, including, for example, corona treatment, oxygen plasma, argon plasma, selective plasma bromination, chemical grafting, allyl chemistry, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of reactive groups, plasma activation, sputter coating, etching, or other known techniques. For example, in the case of glass surfaces, such activation is usually not required, as such surfaces are considered to be already activated herein. The purpose of surface activation is to provide a surface suitable for (direct) covalent bonding of surface-modifying functional groups or primer polymers. After the optional activation, the surface can be further functionalized. The purpose of surface functionalization is to provide functional groups suitable for covalent bonding of precoat polymers.
[0080] Those skilled in the art are well aware of the various possibilities for attaching polymers to optionally activated surfaces. These techniques generally involve the introduction of amino, silane, thiol, hydroxyl, and / or epoxy functional groups to the surface, followed by attachment of the polymer to the surface.
[0081] Functionalization may also include the introduction of spacers or linkers to the surface to attach the primer polymer to the surface at a predetermined distance. Suitable spacers include, for example, Alkylation by reacting the surface with, for example, aminoalkylsilanes.
[0082] P-CDP can be attached to a substrate via a linking group of the present disclosure (e.g., via a hydroxyl or amino group of the linking group). A "linker moiety" refers to an atom interposed between P-CDP and a substrate. The terms "linker" and "linking moiety" herein refer to any moiety that connects a substrate and a P-CDP to each other. A linking moiety can be a covalent bond or a chemical functional group that directly connects P-CDP to a substrate. A linking moiety can comprise a series of covalently bonded atoms and their substituents, collectively referred to as a linking group. In some embodiments, a linking moiety is characterized by a first covalent bond or chemical functional group that connects P-CDP to a first end of the linker group, and a second covalent bond or chemical functional group that connects the second end of the linker group to a substrate. The first and second functional groups may or may not be present independently and, together with the linker group, are collectively referred to as a linker moiety. A linker moiety is defined by a linking group, a first functional group, if present, and a second functional group, if present. In certain embodiments, the linker moiety comprises the intervening atoms between P-CDP and the substrate, regardless of the source of these atoms and the reaction sequence used to synthesize the conjugate. In some embodiments, the linker moiety is an aryl moiety as described herein. In some embodiments, the linker has one or more of the following functional groups: polyfunctional isocyanate (e.g., diisocyanate), epoxy, carboxylic acid, ester, activated ester, cyanuric chloride, cyanuric acid, acid chloride, halogen, hydroxyl, amino, thiol, and phosphine.
[0083] In some embodiments, P-CDP is grafted or bonded onto microcrystalline cellulose (CMC). CMC is available in a variety of median particle sizes ranging from about 10 to about 500 μm, including about 10 μm, 20 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, 65 μm, 75 μm, 100 μm, 150 μm, 180 μm, 190 μm, 200 μm, 225 μm, 250 μm, 275 μm, 300 μm, 325 μm, 350 μm, 375 μm, 400 μm, 425 μm, 450 μm, 475 μm, and about 500 μm, and all particle sizes therebetween. In some embodiments, P-CDP is grafted or bonded onto CMC having a median particle size of about 50 μm. In one example, CMC is commercialized as Avicel™. In other embodiments, P-CDP is grafted or attached onto a polymeric substrate other than cellulose as described herein, whose surface has been treated to generate surface functional groups as disclosed herein, such as hydroxyl groups.
[0084] In some embodiments, the P-CDP-substrate composite (e.g., P-CDP crosslinked with an aryl linker of Formula (I)-CMC substrate composite) has a polymer thickness (i.e., the thickness of the porous P-CDP particles on the surface of the substrate) of about 1 nm to about 2000 nm. For example, the P-CDP-substrate composite has a polymer thickness of about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000, 1050, 1100, 1150, 1200, 1250, 1300, 1350, 1400, 1450, 1500, 1550, 1600, 1650, 1700, 1750, 1800, 1850, 1900, 1950, to about 2000 nm. In some embodiments, the P-CDP-substrate composite has a polymer thickness of less than 1000 nm. In some embodiments, the P-CDP-substrate composite has a polymer thickness of about 800 nm. As will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, having a smaller thickness (e.g., less than 1000 nm) allows for a faster rate of absorbing contaminants, e.g., aqueous contaminants.
[0085] In some embodiments, the P-CDP-substrate complex (e.g., Formula (I)-CMC group) The material complex (P-CDP crosslinked with an aryl linker) has a contaminant adsorption capacity of up to 500 mg of contaminant per gram of CD.

[0097] CNCs can also be distinguished by particle shape, which is known to affect, among other things, flow properties. A non-limiting list of particle shapes includes spherical (rounded), rod-like, and needle-like. Particles can also be described as flat, flat, and elongated, and can be characterized by their aspect ratio. In some embodiments, CNCs have an aspect ratio between about 5 and about 100.

Suitable fibers also include those made from rigid-rod polymers such as lyotropic rigid-rod polymers, heterocyclic rigid-rod polymers, and thermotropic liquid crystal polymers. Suitable fibers also include those made from regenerated cellulose, including reactive wet-spun viscose rayon (Viscose sold by Birla, India or Lenzing, Austria), cuprammonium-based rayon (Cupro® Bemberg sold by Asahi Kasei, Japan), or air gap spun from NMMO solvent (Tencel® sold by Lenzing, Austria). Suitable fibers made from lyotropic rigid rod polymers include poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) fibers (e.g., KEVLAR® fibers sold by DuPont of Wilmington, Del. and TWARON® fibers sold by Teijin of Japan), and aramid fibers such as fibers made from a 1:1 copolyterephthalamide of 3,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether and p-phenylenediamine (e.g., TECHNORA® fibers sold by Teijin of Japan).Suitable fibers made from heterocyclic rigid-rod polymers, such as p-phenylene heterocycles, include poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) fibers (PBO fibers) (e.g., ZYLON® fibers sold by Toyobo, Japan), poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisthiazole) fibers (PBZT fibers), and poly[2,6-diimidazo[4,5-b:4',5'-e]pyridinylene-1,4-(2,5-dihydroxy)phenylene] fibers (PIPD fibers) (e.g., M5® fibers sold by DuPont, Wilmington, Del.).

In certain believed preferred embodiments, the yarns or fibers of the fibrous layer comprise fibers selected from the group consisting of gel-spun ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, melt-spun polyethylene fibers, melt-spun nylon fibers, melt-spun polyester fibers, sintered polyethylene fibers, aramid fibers, PBO fibers, PBZT fibers, PIPD fibers, poly(6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid-co-4-hydroxybenzoic acid) fibers, carbon fibers, and combinations thereof.
[0100] The P-CDP materials of the present disclosure can be adhered to such fibers by a suitable binder polymer as described herein, or can be chemically bound to such fibers by functionalizing the surface of the fiber as described herein (e.g., surface oxidation to generate surface hydroxyl groups) and forming the P-CDP in situ on the fiber surface, or by reacting an appropriately functionalized P-CDP with the functionalized fiber surface directly or indirectly through a linker moiety as described herein.
[0101] The fibers can be converted into nonwoven fabrics by different bonding methods (either before or after bonding of the P-CDP). Continuous fibers can be formed into webs using industry-standard spunbond-type techniques, and staple fibers can be formed into webs using industry-standard carding, airlaid, or wetlaid techniques. Typical bonding methods include calendaring. These include pressure and heat, through-air heating, mechanical entanglement, hydrodynamic entanglement, needle punching, and chemical and / or resin bonding. Calendaring, through-air heating, and chemical bonding are preferred bonding methods for starch polymer fibers. Pressure and through-air heating bonding methods require heat-bondable fibers.
[0102] The fibers of the present invention can also be bonded or combined with other synthetic or natural fibers to produce nonwoven products. The synthetic or natural fibers can be blended together in the molding process or used in separate layers. Suitable synthetic fibers include fibers made from polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, polyacrylate, and copolymers and mixtures thereof. Natural fibers include cellulose fibers and their derivatives. Suitable cellulose fibers include those derived from any tree or plant, including hardwood fibers, softwood fibers, hemp, and cotton. Fibers made by processing natural cellulose sources, such as rayon, are also included.
[0103] The fibers of the present invention can be used to make nonwoven fabrics, among other suitable articles. A nonwoven article is defined as an article containing more than 15% of a plurality of fibers, continuous or discontinuous, physically and / or chemically bonded to one another. The nonwoven fabric can be combined with additional nonwoven fabrics or films to produce layered products used by themselves or as components in complex combinations of other materials. Preferred articles are disposable nonwoven fabrics. The resulting products can find use in filters for air, oil, and water; textiles such as microfiber or breathable fabrics with improved moisture and odor absorption and softness; electrostatically charged structured webs for collecting and removing dust and contaminants; textiles such as surgical drapes, wound dressings, bandages, and skin patches; and textiles for absorbing water and oil, such as those used to wipe up oil and water spills. Articles of the present invention can also include disposable nonwoven fabrics for hygiene and medical applications to absorb malodors. Hygiene applications include wipes; diapers, especially the topsheet or backsheet; and feminine pads or products, especially the topsheet.
[0104] The yarns or fibers of the fibrous layer can have any suitable weight per unit length (e.g., denier). Typically, the weight per unit length of the fibers is about 1 to about 50 denier per filament (1 to about 50 g per 9000 meters). The yarns contain 10 to about 5000 filaments.
[0105] In some embodiments, P-CDP is adhesively bonded to a substrate such as a fiber or fabric via a binder. In some embodiments, P-CDP is coated onto a substrate such as a fiber or fabric via a binder. In some embodiments, P-CDP is bonded or coated to a substrate such as a fiber or fabric via a binder by introducing the surface into a stable aqueous dispersion of P-CDP particles together with a binder. The P-CDP particle dispersion may be 1-50% by weight, and the polymeric binder material may be present in an emulsion or solution at 1-50% by weight. For example, the P-CDP particle dispersion may be present at about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, or about 50% by weight. The polymeric binder material may be present in the emulsion or solution at about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, or about 50% by weight. Additional adjuvants may be used as minor components by weight to aid in wetting by the substrate (wetting agents), foaming or defoaming of the solution, softening of the substrate, and / or binding agents. The catalyst for curing can be controlled.
[0106] Various coating techniques known in the art can be applied, such as dipping and squeezing, solution casting, foam coating, or spraying the formulated solution onto the target substrate. Substrates include, but are not limited to, woven, knitted, or nonwoven fabrics, continuous filament yarns, spun yarns, spun fibers, wood surfaces, and thermoplastic surfaces. In some embodiments, when the formulated solution is applied to a substrate, the combined system is dried to remove the water solvent, at which point a uniform film of P-CDP particles mixed with the polymer binder is present. During the drying process, the binder material present as an emulsion polymer flows together to form the continuous phase. Depending on the binder selection, the P-CDP particles may be held in place by mechanical means or adhesion to the binder continuous phase alone, or additional covalent bonds may be present if a curable binder is selected. Such covalent bonds can extend the underlying substrate, further enhancing the durability of the P-CDP particle coating.
[0107] As will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, the resulting P-CDP particle films conform to the shape of the underlying substrate, are resistant to physical abrasion and cleaning, and can be deployed as articles. Furthermore, when the P-CDP particles have access to the aqueous or gas phase within the coating, they exhibit the same selective and high-affinity small molecule adsorption properties as monolithic particles. This form factor can be transformed into filter cartridges, pleated filters, nonwoven needle-punched filters, hygienic nonwovens, and apparel.
[0108] A variety of binders known to those skilled in the art can be used in connection with the present disclosure, such as any of those disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014 / 0178457A1, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Suitable binders include, but are not limited to, latex binders, isocyanate binders (e.g., blocked isocyanate binders), acrylic binders (e.g., nonionic acrylic binders), polyurethane binders (e.g., aliphatic polyurethane binders and polyether-based polyurethane binders), epoxy binders, urea / formaldehyde resins, melamine / formaldehyde resins, polyvinyl alcohol (PvOH) resins (disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,496,649, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference) and crosslinked versions thereof, polyethylene vinyl alcohol (EvOH) and crosslinked versions thereof, polyethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), starch and starch derivatives, cellulose ether derivatives, and cellulose ester derivatives. Small molecule, polymeric or inorganic crosslinkers may also be used, including formaldehyde, glyoxal, diisocyanates, diepoxides, and / or sodium tetraborate, and combinations thereof.
[0109] In some embodiments, P-CDP particles are mechanically bonded to a surface such as fibrillated fibers. Fibrillated fibers are used to form an extended network with a high surface area that can coat and trap particulate matter. Fibers such as fibrillated polyolefins (e.g., Mitsui Fybrel®), fibrillated regenerated cellulose (e.g., Lenzing Tencel™), and fibrillated acrylics (e.g., Sterling Fibers CFF™) are wet-laid to produce specialty papers (e.g., Onxy Specialty Papers, Helsa Corporation) with excellent mechanical properties, good wet strength, and the ability to retain particulate matter (U.S. Pat. No. 4,565,727, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Specifically, powdered activated carbon particles greater than 5 microns in diameter have been loaded into specialty carbon papers deployed in liquid and vapor filtration applications such as point-of-use water filters or cabin air filters.
[0110] In the papermaking process, an aqueous dispersion or slurry blend of short-cut fibers (such as wood pulp, polyester, nylon, or polyolefin), fibrillated fibers (such as Fybrel®, Tencel™, or CFF™), and particulate powder materials is mixed (e.g., under high shear). This mixture can then be rapidly passed through a nonwoven mesh or screen to deposit a wet-laid nonwoven web. The web is dried (e.g., in a hot air oven or on heated rolls) to remove the water carrier. Further bonding can be performed using a cold or hot calender on either a flat format or patterned roll to produce bonded specialty papers. The particulate powder used can be a dispersion of P-CDP particulates of a specified particle size. The particle size of the particulate can be set using the grinding and milling techniques previously defined. The particulate loading of the finished nonwoven can reach 60% by weight. The particulates can be used alone or blended with other particulates, such as powdered activated carbon. Additional chemical binders, such as those described herein, can be used to modify or enhance the properties of the paper and are applied as would be understood by one skilled in the art.
[0111] The resulting powder-filled paper is suitable for high loadings of P-CDP sorbent particles in a convenient paper filter form factor for water and / or air filtration. The paper can be used flat, cut into various shapes, or pleated and glued into filter media cartridges.
[0112] In some embodiments, P-CDP particles are mechanically entangled in a yarn (e.g., continuous filament yarn). In some embodiments, P-CDP particles are mechanically entangled in a continuous filament yarn. As will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, a specialized subset of yarn finishes can optionally achieve mechanical interlocking of particulate matter within a continuous filament yarn. Particulates can be incorporated into yarn bundles when the yarn (e.g., continuous filament) is composed of multiple filaments of common synthetic polymers, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyamide (nylon 6 or nylon 6,6), which tend to microfibrillate on the surface of each filament. The P-CDP particles of the present disclosure can be incorporated into yarns in various ways. One non-limiting example is applying a dispersion of the target P-CDP particles to a moving yarn bundle in a false-twist texturing process by dip coating or oil roll application. In this process, each filament is mechanically separated by twisting first in one direction and then in the opposite direction. After the initial twist, each filament becomes individualized, creating voids within the yarn bundle. A dispersion is applied at this point in the process, after which the bundle is untwisted in the normal orientation and the yarn is heated to dry the solution. This process allows for the application of dispersed particles within the yarn bundle, where they are held in place by the continuous filaments and microfibrils arising from the continuous filament surfaces. This approach has been used to apply a variety of micron-sized particles, including microcapsules (U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2005 / 0262646 A1, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), metallic silver microparticles (U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2015 / 0361595 A1, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), and other functional particles to synthetic fiber yarn bundles (U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2006 / 0067965 A1, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). These textured, particle-filled yarns can then be processed by conventional means to form knitted and woven fabrics for use in apparel, upholstery, medical, display, or other applications.
[0113] In some embodiments, the P-CDP particles are incorporated into a thermally bonded particulate compacted form. A common form factor for powder absorbent materials is a thermally bonded compacted form. Such form factors can contain up to 95% by weight of P-CDP particles, fibrillated fibers (Fybrel®, Tencel™, or CFF™), optionally inorganic materials such as attapulgite clay, and finally organic binders. The addition of agent materials (most commonly cellulose esters and similar derivatives) forms porous composite structures with suitable mechanical strength and particulate retention efficiency for medium-pressure filtration applications such as faucet filters and refrigerator filters (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,488,021 and 8,167,141, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties).
[0114] P-CDP dry particles or dispersions can be used in place of or blended with other adsorbent materials to form composite adsorbent P-CDP microparticle-containing forms as described above. In such embodiments, the individual solid dry components can be dry-blended, optionally including dry P-CDP particles with or without inorganic clay and / or fibrillated fibers, and organic binder powder. If an aqueous dispersion of P-CDP particles is used, it can be diluted with water and added to the mixture. Water is added (e.g., 80-150 wt%), and the mixture is blended (e.g., under high shear) to form a plastic material. This material can be molded into the desired form factor and dried and cured at temperatures ranging from 125 to 250°C. This final form factor provides P-CDP adsorbent particles in a form factor common and useful for point-of-use water filters.
[0115] In some embodiments, P-CDP particles are incorporated into solution-processed polymer form factors. Various means are available for producing filtration membrane materials. For example, solution-cast films or hollow fibers of the membrane polymer are extruded, followed by controlled coagulation to form condensed films with controlled pore sizes. In some embodiments, polymers such as cellulose acetate dissolved in water-miscible organic solvents such as NMP, DMSO, or THF are used. This solution can be cast into a film in a water bath, which causes rapid coagulation of the cellulose acetate polymer and densification of the film. These films can be processed in roll-to-roll equipment, where multiple layers are wrapped to form spiral-wound membrane filters for use in microfiltration, ultrafiltration, gas filtration, or reverse osmosis applications. Common polymers used in place of cellulose acetate include polyamides, polyolefins, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polyvinylidene fluoride, and similar modified thermoplastics. Hollow fibers can also be extruded into aqueous solutions to form membrane fibers known as hollow fiber membranes by a phase inversion process, which are commonly used in dialysis, reverse osmosis, and desalination applications.
[0116] In some embodiments, P-CDP particulate matter is incorporated into membrane materials to enhance their performance. For example, a small amount of P-CDP particle dispersion can be present in an aqueous coagulation bath, and this particle dispersion is incorporated into the dense or porous portions of the membrane during the phase inversion process. A second method for incorporating P-CDP particles into membranes is to incorporate a small amount of well-dispersed particles into an organic solution of the membrane polymer, and the particles are encapsulated in the membrane after coagulation. Each of these methods allows for the production of P-CDP-filled polymer foams. In various embodiments, such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis, the incorporation of P-CDP particles acts to enhance the trace contaminant removal performance of membrane systems.
[0117] In some embodiments, P-CDP particles are incorporated into melt-extruded thermoplastics (e.g., fibers and molded parts). The availability of small-diameter dry powder P-CDP particle material with low polydispersity allows this material to be incorporated into melt-processed polymer foams such as fibers and molded parts. Common thermoplastics that are useful include polyethylene terephthalate, copolyesters, polyolefins, and polyamides. Typical extrusion temperatures are 250-300°C, so P-CDP particles must be stable to these temperatures in air (most preferred) or under an inert atmosphere. Single- or twin-screw extrusion is used to extrude powder materials at high temperatures under shear to a maximum of 5 weight percent of the thermoplastic. The blended components are then blended and mixed with the polymer. After the blended components are properly mixed, they can be extruded through small round or other shaped orifices and drawn to produce fibers with a particulate linear density ranging from 1 to 20 denier per filament. A common particle added to many thermoplastic fibers is titanium dioxide, which is added to whiten and matte the fibers. P-CDP particles are added in a similar manner. In the most ideal embodiment, the P-CDP particles migrate to and exude from the surface of the fiber due to their higher surface energy, so that some of the particles are accessible by the gas or liquid phase. In other embodiments, instead of extruding the polymer melt through a small orifice, plastic parts can be produced by blow molding or other melt processing methods. These plastic parts also retain P-CDP particles that exude to the surface and activate them to remove small molecule trace contaminants (e.g., anionic MPs) from the gas and liquid phases.
[0118] The P-CDPs of the present disclosure can be supported or formed into a variety of shapes (or form factors) suitable for various applications. For example, the P-CDP materials of the present disclosure can be in the form of a powder, granules, formed into a disk, e.g., from a cellulosic material such as paper or other nonwoven form, or extruded or pressed into a variety of shapes suitable, e.g., for filtration, water treatment, sample absorption, etc., as described herein.
[0119] While providing adsorbents in supported form is not unknown, it is important that the method used to immobilize the adsorbent on the substrate or support be robust enough to withstand the conditions of use. Furthermore, the means of attachment to the substrate must not interfere with or inhibit the adsorbent's adsorption mechanism. Because the adsorbents disclosed herein can be attached to a support as described herein, the resulting performance characteristics are minimally affected by the attachment method. In various embodiments, the supported polymeric materials of the present invention provide performance characteristics that are at least 50% of those that would be provided by an adsorbent of the same composition (based on an equal amount of adsorbent) prepared without a support material, when measured under the same conditions. Thus, for example, a porous material grafted to microcrystalline cellulose (e.g., P-CDP crosslinked with an aryl linker in a Formula (I)-CMC substrate composite) may have at least 50% of one or more of the specific performance characteristics observed in an unsupported porous material tested under the same conditions.
[0120] In some embodiments, the performance characteristic can be the uptake of a particular contaminant (adsorption capacity), measured as milligrams of contaminant adsorbed per gram of P-CDP particles under specified conditions. In other embodiments, the performance characteristic can be the equilibrium adsorption capacity (q), defined herein as follows: e ) can be used.
number
[0121] In yet another embodiment, the performance characteristic is the rate at which equilibrium adsorption of a contaminant is reached (the equilibrium adsorption rate of a particular adsorbent), which can be expressed as the time required for a supported or unsupported P-CDP of the present disclosure to reach equilibrium with a particular adsorbed species (or contaminant).
[0122] In yet another embodiment, the performance characteristic is the rate at which a competing adsorbent sequesteres a contaminant. The competing sorbent can be the unsupported P-CDP described herein, or other materials such as activated carbon (powdered or granular), ion exchange resins, and specialty resins used in solid-phase microextraction (e.g., HLB).
[0123] For any of these performance characteristics disclosed above, the performance of the supported P-CDP of the present disclosure is at least about 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 120%, 140%, 160%, 180%, 200%, 220%, 240%, 260%, 280%, 300%, 350%, 400%, 450%, 500% or more, including all values, ranges, and subranges therebetween, compared to an unsupported P-CDP of the same composition tested under essentially the same conditions, e.g., the same contaminant, temperature, pressure, exposure time, etc.
[0124] The performance characteristics of the present disclosure can be measured by a variety of methods readily apparent to those skilled in the art, based on, for example, bisphenol A or PFAS, or another suitable species disclosed herein. For example, contaminants can be measured at initial concentrations of BPA or another suitable species ranging from 1 ppb (or 1 microgram / L or 5 nM) to 1 ppt (or 1 g / L or 5 mM) in any aqueous sample, including, but not limited to, drinking water, wastewater, groundwater, aqueous extracts from contaminated soil, landfill leachate, purified water, or other waters containing salts or other organic matter. The pH can range from 0 to 14. For example, the pH can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14, including all ranges between these values. Performance characteristics can be generally measured as described herein (e.g., in Examples 1 and 2), and typical variations (such as temperature and pressure) are contemplated.

[0130] The P-CDP materials of the present disclosure, in various forms and form factors disclosed herein (including supported and unsupported P-CDP materials), can be used in any application where it is desirable to separate compounds (e.g., anionic or cationic MPs) from a fluid (a gas such as air, or a liquid such as water, an aqueous beverage, or a bodily fluid). P-CDP materials can be used to "trap" or adsorb species of interest for further analysis or quantification (e.g., in analytical testing for environmental pollutants in air or water), to separate mixtures (e.g., in chromatographic separations), or to separate desirable or valuable species present in dilute form in a fluid. In some embodiments, the P-CDP materials of the present disclosure can be used to purify a fluid (e.g., by removing undesirable or harmful impurities) or to isolate a desired compound from a mixture or dilute fluid solution.
[0131] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for removing one or more compounds (e.g., anionic MPs) from a fluid sample or determining the presence or absence of one or more compounds in a fluid sample, the method comprising: a) contacting the sample with a porous polymeric material of the present disclosure or a supported porous polymeric material of the present disclosure for an incubation period; b) separating the porous polymeric material or supported porous polymeric material from the sample after the incubation period; c) heating the porous polymeric material or supported porous polymeric material separated in step b) or contacting the porous polymeric material or supported porous polymeric material separated in step b) with a solvent, thereby releasing at least a portion of the compounds from the porous polymeric material or supported porous polymeric material; and d1) optionally isolating at least a portion of the compounds released in step c) or d2) determining the presence or absence of the compounds released in step c), wherein the presence of the one or more compounds correlates with the presence of one or more compounds in the sample. In some embodiments, the one or more cyclodextrin moieties are β-cyclodextrin moieties. In some embodiments, the determining is performed by gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, or mass spectrometry. In some embodiments, the contacting is by flowing an aqueous phase across, over, around, or through the supported porous polymeric material. In some embodiments, the aqueous sample is contacted with the P-CDP-substrate complex under static conditions for an incubation period, after which the aqueous sample is separated from the porous polymeric material. In some embodiments, the sample is a food product and the compound is a volatile organic compound. In some embodiments, the aqueous sample is drinking water, wastewater, groundwater, an aqueous extract from contaminated soil, or landfill leachate. In some embodiments, the sample is a perfume or fragrance and the compound is a volatile organic compound. In some embodiments, the compound is an anionic micropollutant, a heavy metal, and / or a dye.In some embodiments, the compound is an anionic MP such as a PFAS (e.g., a polyfluorinated alkyl compound and / or a perfluoroalkyl compound). In some embodiments, the PFAS is PFOA and / or PFOS.
[0132] In one embodiment, a method for purifying an aqueous sample containing one or more organic compounds is provided, the method comprising contacting the aqueous sample with a porous polymeric material of the present disclosure or a supported porous polymeric material of the present disclosure, wherein, for example, at least 50% to at least 99% of the one or more contaminants bind to one or more cyclodextrin (e.g., β-cyclodextrin) moieties of the porous polymeric material. For example, the aqueous sample is flowed across, around, or through the porous polymeric material. In another example, the aqueous sample is subjected to static filtration. The aqueous sample is contacted with a porous polymer material or a supported porous polymer material under conditions for an incubation period, and after the incubation period, the aqueous sample is separated from the porous polymer material (for example, by filtration).This method can be used to purify aqueous samples such as drinking water, wastewater, groundwater, aqueous extracts from contaminated soil, landfill leachate, etc.In some embodiments, the organic compound is an anionic MP such as PFAS.
[0133] In one embodiment, a method for determining the presence or absence of a compound (e.g., anionic MP) in a sample includes: a) contacting the sample with a porous polymeric material of the present disclosure or a supported porous polymeric material of the present disclosure for an incubation period (e.g., 1 minute or less, 5 minutes or less, or 10 minutes or less); b) separating the complexes from a) from the sample; c) heating the composite material from b) or contacting the complexes from b) with a solvent (e.g., methanol) so that at least a portion of the compounds are released by the porous material; and d) determining the presence or absence of any compounds, wherein the presence of one or more compounds correlates with the presence of one or more compounds in the sample, or isolating the compounds (e.g., by filtration). For example, the determination (e.g., analysis) is performed by gas chromatography or mass spectrometry. For example, the sample is a food or beverage (e.g., milk, wine, fruit juice (e.g., orange juice, apple juice, and grape juice)), or alcoholic beverage (e.g., beer and distilled spirits)), and the compounds are volatile organic compounds. The porous polymer material or supported porous polymer material can be the extraction phase of a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) device. In some embodiments, the organic compound is an anionic MP, such as a PFAS.
[0134] In one embodiment, a method for removing a compound (e.g., an organic compound) from a sample includes: a) contacting the sample with a porous polymeric material of the present disclosure or a supported porous polymeric material of the present disclosure for an incubation period, thereby sequestering at least a portion of the compound in the polymer; b) isolating the complex from a) from the sample; c) heating the complex from b) or contacting the complex from b) with a solvent (e.g., methanol), thereby releasing at least a portion of the compound by the porous polymeric material; and d) optionally isolating at least a portion of the compound. In some embodiments, the compound is an anionic MP such as a PFAS.
[0135] These methods allow a variety of compounds to be addressed (e.g., sequestered, detected, and / or separated). The compound may be an organic compound. The compound may be a desired compound, such as a flavoring (e.g., a compound that affects the palatability of food) or a pharmaceutical compound (or pharmaceutical intermediate), a contaminant (e.g., PCB, PBA, etc.), and / or an impurity.

[0136] Cyclodextrins are chiral. In one embodiment, chiral compounds are sequestered, detected, and / or isolated. In one embodiment, a chiral column (e.g., a preparative or analytical scale column packed with a chiral porous polymeric material or a composition comprising a chiral porous polymeric material) is used to separate and detect or isolate a single enantiomer of a compound (or at least significantly enrich a sample for one enantiomer).
[0137] In this method, the porous polymeric material or supported porous polymeric material can be regenerated (e.g., for reuse in the method). For example, the porous polymeric material is regenerated by heating and / or exposure to a solvent (e.g., an alcohol such as methanol or ethanol, and aqueous mixtures thereof).
[0138] The following examples are presented to illustrate the present disclosure and should not be construed as limiting the disclosure. [Example]
[0139] Example 1: Synthesis of β-CD-TDI polymer Reagents: β-CD: Wacker, Cavamax W7 (used as is); Tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI): Sigma Aldrich, 95%, product number T39853; N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF): Fisher Chemical, certified ACS grade, catalog number D119-4; Water: deionized (DI) water from a Milli-Q system.
[0140] Procedure: β-CD (60.0 g, 0.0529 mol, 1 equiv.) was dissolved in 120 mL of DMF in a 500 mL single-neck round-bottom flask with a magnetic stirrer set at 400 rpm and the temperature set to 80 °C. An oil bath equipped with a thermocouple was used for heating. After β-CD was completely dissolved, TDI (36.8 g, 0.2115 mol, 4 equiv.) was added to the flask at 80 °C. Bubbles were observed, likely due to the presence of water in the reaction medium. After approximately 1 minute, when bubbles had ceased to form, the flask was capped with a rubber septum. After 3 h, the reaction was stopped by adding 30 mL of methanol and turning off the heat. The resulting viscous, clear solution was precipitated into 1.2 L of methanol to obtain a white powder product. After stirring for 1 h, the crude product was filtered under vacuum using a Buchner funnel. The filtered polymer powder was returned to a 2 L beaker and washed again with two 1.5 L portions of deionized water and one 1.2 L portion of methanol. The washing time during each cycle was 1 h. After the final filtration, the wet solid product was transferred to an evaporating dish and placed in a vacuum oven at 80 °C to obtain 72.6 g of dried polymer. It was observed that starting with more than 6 equivalents of TDI resulted in a hard gel that was difficult to work up. In contrast, TDI:CD ratios ranging from 2:1 to 5:1 yielded powder materials upon quenching with methanol (Table 1). These polymers were also soluble in various solvents, such as DMF, but not in water. See Figure 5 for a detailed comparison of the polymers in Table 1. [Table 1]
[0141] Optimization experiment of β-CD-TDI
[0142] The β-CD-TDI polymer was further optimized by studying the solubility of β-CD (neat and dried) in regular and anhydrous DMF, and the results are shown in Table 2. Neat β-CD has a water content ranging from 12 to 14% water. [Table 2]
[0143] As shown in Table 2, the solubility of β-CD is significantly affected by its water content. Therefore, when using dry β-CD, polymerization can only be performed at a lower initial concentration, which impacts the reaction yield. In contrast, the water content of DMF is minimal, which has less impact on solubility, and it is recommended to use regular DMF for the reaction. A comparison of β-CD-TDI polymers produced in small and large batches is shown in Table 3 below. [Table 3]
[0144] While it has long been understood that the use of dry β-CD and anhydrous solvents is important for producing polyurethane-type CD polymers, as described herein, when "aqueous" solvents (also called "normal" solvents) such as DMF and / or neat β-CD are used, the resulting polymers are structurally different from those described in the literature and are more effective at sequestrating PFAS. It was unexpectedly discovered that the use of aqueous / normal solvents results in partial isocyanate reduction, as shown in Scheme 1 for TDI below. Scheme 1: Effect of water on the isocyanate groups of TDI. [ka]
[0145] The presence of amine groups in the polymerization reaction is believed to result in the formation of urea bonds in addition to the urethane bonds that result from crosslinking β-CD and TDI under anhydrous conditions (e.g., completely anhydrous conditions). Furthermore, the presence of free amines in the β-CD-TDI polymer is believed to contribute to the removal of PFAS. The high amine and urea content is structurally different from prior art and provides a polymer that is more advantageous for the removal of anionic micropollutants (e.g., PFAS).
[0146] Elemental analysis data showed that the final CD:TDI ratio was 1:8-1:10 when a 1:4 feed ratio was used, suggesting the presence of excess TDI units on the cyclodextrin. 1 H NMR spectroscopy shows the presence of -CH3 protons originating from the amine-functionalized phenyl units (Figure 3). The amine groups can be quantified using the -CH3 peak at approximately 1.9 ppm, which originates from the TDI units bearing amine groups. The ratio of the integral of each -CH3 peak to the total integral of each peak gives the percentage of TDI bearing amines. Since the absolute TDI density can be calculated from the elemental analysis data, the concentration of amine groups (mmol / g) in the polymer can be calculated by correlating the NMR and EA data. See Table 4. The β-CD-TDI polymer further tested positive in a chloranil test, further confirming the presence of amines. [Table 4]
[0147] Amine-containing β-CD-TDI polymers were tested against a panel of 12 PFASs (Figure 1) and P Further testing was performed on binary mixtures of PFOA and PFOS (Figure 2). The polymer (SL-1-010A) prepared with 4 equivalents of TDI demonstrated 70% removal of PFOA and excellent removal of PFOS (96%) in just 30 minutes in panel tests, reaching nearly 90% removal of PFOA and 100% removal of PFOS at 48 hours. Similar removal performance was observed when binary mixtures of PFOA and PFOS were tested.
[0148] Example 2: Synthesis of β-CD-isocyanate polymer and its PFAS removal activity Following the general procedure outlined in Example 1, β-CD-isocyanate polymers derived from 4,4'-MDI were synthesized and tested for their ability to remove PFAS.
[0149] Each polymer in Table 5 was tested for its ability to remove PFASs. All experiments were performed using 1000 ng / L and 10 mg / L of each of the 12 PFASs as adsorbents. Control experiments were performed without adsorbents. These experiments were performed in triplicate. Samples were collected at 0, 0.5, 9, and 48 hours. Figure 1 shows the results at 0.5 and 48 hours, demonstrating that polymers prepared from 4,4'-MDI and 2,4-TDI were particularly effective at sequestering PFASs. While a faster removal rate was observed with the TDI polymer (SL-1-010A), the MDI polymer (SL-0420-3) also showed good removal performance over 48 hours. Polymers derived from 6 equivalents of TDI and MDI did not exhibit good removal rates for either PFOA or PFOS, likely due to the formation of a hard gel during synthesis, which prevented access to binding sites within the particles. [Table 5]
[0150] Example 3: Synthesis of choline chloride-modified β-CD-TFN polymer and its PFAS removal activity In this example, positive charges were added to each CD polymer to enhance its binding affinity for anionic PFASs. Without being bound by any particular theory, the presence of phenolic groups generated by side reactions during polymerization is thought to impart an anionic charge to the polymer, reducing its uptake of PFOA and PFOS. This effect was experimentally observed with another polymer formulation, TFN-CDP, which showed excellent removal performance for a wide range of trace pollutants, excluding negatively charged ones, including PFASs. TFN-CDP can be produced on a relatively large scale using tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile (TFN) as a crosslinker. Therefore, it was desirable to modify the adsorption properties of PFASs by incorporating a positive charge into the polymer backbone. In this example, choline chloride (a quaternary ammonium salt with a hydroxyl group) was selected as an additive for the polymerization reaction of TFN-CDP. Choline chloride can react with TFN in the same way as β-CD, and is therefore incorporated into the polymer. This polymer is referred to below as TFN-CDP+ (Scheme 2). Scheme 2: Overview of the synthesis of choline chloride-modified β-CD-TFN polymers [ka] [Table 6] [Table 7] [Table 8]
[0151] Prior to measuring PFAS removal rates, we compared the uptake rates of BPA (a neutral molecule) and methyl orange (MO, a negatively charged dye molecule) between TFN-CDP and TFN-CDP+. While BPA uptake was unaffected, MO uptake was significantly improved, from approximately 30% for TFN-CDP to over 99% for TFN-CDP+. As expected, the TFN-CDP+ polymer exhibited significantly lower affinity for positively charged molecules, such as methylene blue, compared to TFN-CDP (Table 9, Figure 7). Based on this preliminary data, we tested TFN-CDP+ for removal of environmentally relevant concentrations of PFOA and PFOS. [Table 9]
[0152] Although further experiments are required to fully characterize the adsorption mechanism, this approach allows us to (1) simultaneously utilize dual binding mechanisms (inclusion complexation with β-CD and ionic interactions) in a single material, and (2) enhance the binding affinity of the inclusion complex by the presence of positive charges near the CD cavity. Furthermore, TFN-CDP+ is synthesized in a single step, and the amount of incorporated positive charges can be easily modified by changing the amount of choline chloride used in the reaction.
[0153] Experimental procedure: β-CD (1 g, 0.881 mmol), TFN (1.06 g, 5.286 mmol), K2CO3 (2.44 g, 17.621 mmol), choline chloride (0.37 g, 2.643 mmol), and 5.4 mL of HO / DMSO (2:3, v / v) were added to a 20 mL scintillation vial equipped with a magnetic stirrer. The mixture was stirred at 60 °C for 20 h. Additional solvent (1 mL) was added after the first hour of stirring. After 20 h, 10 mL of water was added, and the polymer was dispersed by stirring for 30 min. After filtration, the crude product was transferred to a centrifuge tube. The sample was washed three times with hot methanol (approximately 40 mL) (30 min for each cycle). After decanting the methanol, deionized water (approximately 30 mL) was added. 1 M HCl was added dropwise while stirring the sample until the pH stabilized between 3 and 4. The crude product was washed two more times with hot methanol (approximately 40 mL). The final methanol wash was filtered under vacuum and the product was dried at 80° C. overnight.
[0154] PFOA and PFOS Removal Performance Testing - PFAS adsorption experiments were conducted to measure the removal performance of different TFN-CDP+ polymers. To facilitate the screening process for numerous polymer formulations, adsorption kinetics tests were conducted using a mixture of 12 PFASs in nanopure water. Understanding adsorption kinetics is essential, as it reveals information about the adsorbent dosage and required contact time relevant to the treatment process. This panel experiment not only provides insight into the uptake rates of PFOA and PFOS, but also allows for evaluation of performance against other PFASs, such as GenX and short- and long-chain PFASs, thereby determining the broad-spectrum PFAS removal capabilities of these polymers. The results, summarized in Figure 1, show the percent removal of each PFAS at 30 minutes and 48 hours of contact time. These experiments were performed in triplicate using approximately 1 ppb of each of the 12 PFASs in nanopure water at a polymer loading of 10 mg / L. Control experiments without adsorbent were also conducted, and the reported percent removals are corrected for the amount of loss observed in the control experiment. All polymers were sieved through a 230-mesh screen.
[0155] Impressively, two derivatives of TFN-CDP+ (i.e., MB-1-036 and MB-1-037, prepared from 3 and 6 equivalents of choline chloride, respectively) exhibited the best removal performance of all polymers tested, with nearly complete removal of all PFASs in the panel. MB-1-037 demonstrated effective removal of GenX and short-chain PFASs in addition to PFOA and PFOS over a 30-minute period, likely due to its high quaternary ammonium loading (Figure 2).
[0156] After initial screening under a panel experiment, polymers were selected by narrowing down the removal rate evaluation using binary mixtures of PFOA and PFOS (Table 10). For this particular task, all adsorption experiments were performed using 0.5 ppb PFOA and 1 ppb PFOS at a polymer loading of 10 mg / L. A control experiment without adsorbent was performed, and all measurements were performed in triplicate. Samples from each solution were taken for analysis at predetermined time points: 0, 0.5, 2, 4, 8, and 24 h. The polymers selected for these measurements were SL-1-010A (TDI), MB-1-036 (TFN+CC), and MB-1-037 (TFN+CC). All tested polymers demonstrated high removal rates of PFOS over 24 h, but SL-1-010A (TDI) and the two TFN-CDP+ derivatives demonstrated high removal (>90%) in only 30 min. For PFOA removal, although SL-1-010A(TDI) performed similarly to the panel experiments, MB-1-036 and MB-1-037 outperformed the other two polymers in terms of both kinetics and 24-h removal capacity.
[0157] [Table 10]
[0158] Trace pollutant adsorption experiments
[0159] β-CD is known to form stable inclusion complexes with trace pollutants. BPA and MO were selected as model compounds to test the uptake of neutral and negatively charged trace pollutants, respectively, to understand the adsorption mechanism in the choline chloride-modified TFN-CDP polymer. Furthermore, the thermodynamic parameters of the tested materials can be determined by fitting the trace pollutant adsorption data as a function of concentration to the Langmuir model (Equations 1 and 2).
[0160] The single-site Langmuir model, which assumes a homogeneous adsorption surface, is given as follows:

[0161] In the case of choline chloride-modified TFN-CDP polymers, the maximum MO capacities (q ) of polymers prepared with 1.5 and 3.0 equivalents of choline chloride, respectively, for the first adsorption site were max,1 The adsorption kinetics of the second adsorption site (q max,2 ) showed maximum uptake capacities of 37.3 and 33.0 mg / g, both of which were the maximum capacities (q max = 37.6 mg / g), which is very close to the data. L and K. L,2 The similarity between the values of K suggests that the second adsorption site in the choline chloride-modified TFN-CDP polymer is related to MO adsorption within the cavities of the CDs. L,1 and K. L,2 Comparison of K values also indicates a significantly stronger first adsorption site, which is likely due to the interaction of anionic MO molecules with the quaternary ammonium sites. The BPA adsorption data were fitted using a single-site Langmuir model, which yielded similar K values for all three polymers. L The saturation uptake values were determined and indicated the presence of similar adsorption sites for neutral molecules. The maximum BPA capacities of the two choline chloride-modified TFN-CDP polymers were 112.1 and 100.1 mg / g, while the capacity of unmodified TFN-CDP was 106.1 mg / g (Table 11, Figure 9). Notably, these saturation uptake values are in good agreement with the density of CD sites for these polymers. This observation also suggests that BPA adsorption occurs within the cavities of the CDs.

[0163] Example 4: Synthesis of choline chloride-modified β-CD-TDI polymer and its PFAS removal activity β-CD (2 g, 1.76 mmol, 1 equiv.) was dissolved in 5 mL of DMF in a 20 mL scintillation vial equipped with a magnetic stir bar at a stirring rate of 400 rpm and a temperature of 80 °C. 4 g of choline chloride was dissolved in 10 mL of DMSO at 80 °C to a concentration of 0.4 g / mL. Choline chloride solutions with various stoichiometric ratios ((0.3075 mL, 0.1230 g, 0.5 equiv.), (0.6150 mL, 0.2460 g, 1 equiv.), (0.9225 mL, 0.369 g, 1.5 equiv.), or (1.2300 mL, 0.492 g, 2 equiv.)) were added to the β-CD solution at 80 °C. After mixing at 80 °C for 5 minutes, toluene diisocyanate (2,4-TDI, 1.8417 g, 10.57 mmol, 6 equiv.) was added. Foaming, likely due to moisture in the reaction, was observed after the diisocyanate addition. Approximately 1 minute after the bubbling subsided, the vial was capped. After 3 hours, the reaction was stopped by adding 10 mL of methanol and turning off the heat. After the addition of methanol, a white powder product precipitated. The mixture was transferred to a 50 mL polypropylene centrifuge tube. After centrifugation, the solvent was decanted, and the crude product was washed with water (2 x 40 mL) and methanol (2 x 40 mL). For each washing cycle, the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, followed by centrifugation. For the final cycle, the product in methanol was filtered under vacuum and dried overnight at 80 °C. Figure 10 shows the results of the choline chloride modified β-CD-TDI polymer prepared with 1:6:1 molar equivalents of β-CD:TDI:choline chloride in 5 mL of DMF at 80 °C for 3 h. 1 The H NMR spectrum is shown. The presence of urethane and urea groups between 7.75 and 9.5 ppm indicates successful incorporation of choline chloride into the polymer. 1The H NMR spectrum also shows the following chemical shifts: 6.75–7.75 ppm (protons from the aromatic ring of TDI); 5.5–6 ppm (protons from the –OH groups attached to C2 and C3 of β-CD); 4.8–5 ppm (protons attached to C1 of β-CD); 4.25–4.75 ppm (protons from the –OH group attached to C6 of β-CD); 4.1 ppm (protons from the –O–CH2– group of choline chloride); 3.5–4 ppm (protons attached to C2–C6 of β-CD); 3.3–3.5 ppm (protons from water); 3.1–3.2 ppm (protons from the –CH3 group of choline chloride); 2.5 ppm (DMSO); and 1.9–2.1 ppm (protons from the –CH3 group of TDI). Peaks marked with an asterisk are due to residual solvent. Figure 11 shows a comparison of the choline chloride-modified β-CD-TDI polymer with the β-CD-TDI polymer. The main difference is the broad peak centered at 3.13 ppm. The sharp peaks at 4.1 ppm and 3.1-3.2 ppm are due to unreacted choline chloride. Figure 12 shows a comparison of three choline chloride-modified β-CD-TDI polymers with different choline chloride loadings, supporting the observation that the peak intensity at 3.13 ppm increases with increasing choline chloride loading.
[0164] Following the synthetic procedures outlined above, various polymers were prepared with different stoichiometric equivalents, as shown in Table 12 below. Additionally, the PFOA incorporation rate of the polymers was tested. These results demonstrate that incorporating choline chloride into the β-CD-TDI polymer allows for controlled addition of cationic charge to the polymer, increasing the PFOA incorporation rate from 70% to 99% when compared to the SL-1-010A polymer (Table 12). See also Figure 13.
