The Removal of Hydrophobic Matter from Thermosensitive Poly[<i>oligo</i>(ethylene glycol) Monomethyl Ether Acrylate] Gel Adsorbent in Alcohol–Water Mixtures

A thermosensitive gel that exhibits lower critical solution temperature (LCST) becomes hydrophilic at low temperatures and hydrophobic at high temperatures in water. A system for absorbing hydrophobic organic matters that exploits this property has been reported. While washing the gel at a low tempe...
