Thiol-ene click chemistry: a facile and versatile route for the functionalization of porous polymer monoliths

The preparation of porous polymer monoliths with dodecyl and zwitterionic functionalities via the thiol-ene'' click chemistry of thiol-containing monoliths with both hydrophobic and polar methacrylate ene'' monomers has been demonstrated. Selected separations confirmed the excellent potential of these monoliths in chromatography.
