AZOMONOMER AND AZOPOLYMER BY POLYMERISATION OF THE AZOMONOMER

摘要

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an azopolymer forms a complex with lithium ions and sodium ions among alkaline metal ions, but does not form a complex with potassium ions. From the characteristics of the azopolymer, the azopolymer is expected to be used as a material for a sensor selectively sensing a particular alkaline metal ion, or as a novel material to selectively collect a particular alkaline metal ion from a solution containing mixed metal ions. The azopolymer is represented by chemical formula 1.
