Thiourea-tagged poly(octadecyl acrylate) gels as fluoride and acetate responsive polymer gels through selective complexation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Feb 7;47(5):1571-3. doi: 10.1039/c0cc03256e. Epub 2010 Nov 29.

Abstract

Fluoride and acetate-responsive polymer gels were prepared by incorporation of p-nitrophenylthiourea into poly(octadecyl acrylate) gels, and the colours and volumes were changed selectively in the presence of these ions by complexation in THF.
