Hydration of Cross-Linked Polymers e.g.. Polystyrene Sulfonate

Hydration of Cross-Linked Polymers (e.g., Polystyrene Sulfonate) 

It is possible to study step-by-step hydration of biomolecules as was first done by Gluckauf. The hydration is localized and connected to ionic binding. Thus, Gregor et al. found that the order of adsorption onto polystyrene was IT Li Na K .
