Macronet polystyrene (PS) and styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS) were tested in respect to the sorption of traces of toluene, carbon tetrachloride and 1,2 dichloroethane in water. The studied networks were prepared by a previously developed post-polymerization crosslinking method. The uptake experiments showed a significant sorption efficiency for macronet SEBS especially in the case of carbon tetrachloride. Macronet PS exhibited only a low ability in the sorption of toluene.
