In this communication, a method for
encapsulation of a polymeric resin using radiation technology
is reported. The quaternary ammonium resin,
polydiallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (PDADMAC) was
incorporated in the core of a preformed hollow polyether sulfone
micro capsule, using radiation technology, for the extraction of
an ions from aqueous solutions. The idea was to introduce the
monomer into the porous microcapsules and initiate polymerization
by radiation to trap the polymer formed inside the capsule. There
sultant capsule was able to take up and exchange some anions (F-, Cl-,
Br-,NO32- and SO4 2-)at
relatively low concentrations.
