Summary
A simple method of porous volume determination for styrenedivinylbenzene copolymers has been developed. This method is based on water uptake measurements after surface treatment with methanol in order to reduce the characteristic water repellance of the copolymer beads. The porous volume determined by water uptake is in good agreement with mercury porosimetry measurements.
