Biocompatible crosslinked copolymer of n-octadecyl acrylate and acrylicacid based on resorcin [۴] calixarene as an absorbent for heavy metal

A biocompatible cross-linked copolymer of n-octadecyl acrylate (ODA) and acrylic acid (AA) wasprepared using resorcin[۴]calixarene as a base. The synthesis involved condensation of resorcinoland butanal to form resorcin[۴]calixarene, followed by its modification with carbon disulfide (CS۲)and benzyl bromide. Finally, ODA and AA were polymerized with N, N-methylene bisacrylamide(MBA) as a cross-linker to yield the desired copolymer. FT-IR analysis confirmed the structure ofthe synthesized materials while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigated the copolymer'smorphology. The study further evaluated the ability of this cross-linked copolymer to remove Co ionsin aqueous media
