Functional polystyrene with amine termination has been used as a macromolecular surfactant; capable of conjugation with enzymes; proteins and lipases. They are also known to form well-defined assemblies in aqueous solution.
Aminopolystyrene Resin is used functionalized supports for solid-phase synthesis. Many supports can be made by acylating this resin with carboxylic acid-containing linkers using standard amide bond-formation methods.
Aminopolystyrene Resin can be easily acylated with any appropriate carboxylic acid containing linkers using standard methods of amide bond formation to furnish supports for Boc and Fmoc batch solid phase organic synthesis.
