- Abstract
From the sea to the reactor: Nanoporous template‐free initiators for atom‐transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were synthesized with surface and framework initiator sites and tailorable pore structures. Polyacrylonitrile grown on one initiator was converted into polyamidoxime to generate a uranium sorbent for seawater extraction with a high uptake rate and capacity relative to those of nonwoven irradiation‐grafted polyethylene‐fiber composites.
