Abstract This article reported a novel type of lipophilic polyelectrolyte
resin with high oil absorbency and mechanical
properties, which was suitable to use, store, and recycle. A
certain amount of weakly coordinating ions was introduced
in a suitable network structure of copolymer resin of styrene/
butyl methacrylate/stearyl methacrylate by chloromethylation
reaction, quaternization reaction, and anion exchange reaction.
The structure and particle morphology of resin were
characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and
scanning electron microscopy, respectively.
