Hypercrosslinked network polymers present a different class of polymeric materials with very wide application possibilities. This title describes the theory, practice of preparation and use of polymeric adsorbing materials with the emphasis on hypercrosslinked polystyrene-type polymers.

This reference describes the preparation and applications of a class of polymeric materials that have recently been discovered to be useful in fields such as green chemistry, energy, greenhouse gas adsorption technologies, nanotechnology, and medicine. In analytical chemistry, hypercrosslinked polymers serve as the most efficient solid phase extraction material and as a multi-purpose HPLC column packing material.
