Abstract

Polyamide 12 microspheres exhibited exceptional binding affinity for triclosan in water, showing far superior sorption properties to conventional porous sorbents and an ultra-high surface area-normalized sorption capacity (14.5 mg m-2), the highest yet reported for synthetic or natural sorbents.
