Abstract:
The development of different materials for sorptive extraction techniques is a continuously evolving field of research. Although there have been significant developments in this area, the extraction of polar analytes is still considered the bottleneck of the extraction process. The efforts have been undertaken to improve capacity and selectivity. For this reason, one of the main objectives of this Thesis is to develop new materials to extract polar organic contaminants from water samples. The first part reports on the development of new polymeric materials for solid-phase extraction including hypercrosslinked polymers with hydrophilic character, mixed-mode ion-exchange hypercrosslinked sorbents and supported ionic liquid polymeric phases and their evaluation as SPE sorbents for the extraction of polar contaminants, followed by LC analysis. The second part is focused on the preparation of new stir bars with polar monolithic coatings and their application to stir bar sorptive extract polar analytes from environmental water samples.
