Abstract

Polymers based on divinylbenzene-crosslinked styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer can adsorb 100 per cent tobacco mosaic virus and more than 99.99 per cent polio virus from aqueous suspensions. The technique may be useful for preparing potable water by removing viral infectivity which may survive conventional treatment. It may also be useful in detecting viral contamination.
