“…So far, some polymers have been reported to be used for immobilization of various specific ligands. Among them are cellulose three acetate (CTA) with PAN for Cd(II) analysis [10], 2-amino-cyclopentane-1-dithiocarboxylic acid for Cd(II) analysis [11], dithizone for Cd(II) [12], 5(p-dimethylaminobenzylidene)rhodanine for Ag(I) [13], indophenol for Ni(II) [14], polymethacrylate (PMA) with PAN for Co, Cd, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Pb [15][16], with dithizone for Ag(I) [17]. Other reports have also used polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with 2-mercaptopyrimidine for Hg [18], with c-methylcalix [4]resorcinarene (CMCR) for Ti(III) [19], 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) for thallium [20], bis(thiophenol)-4,4´-methylenedianiline for Hg(II) [21], PAN for Cr(III) [22].…”
