Abstract
Highly accessible polymer-supported catalysts have been prepared by grafting linear polystyrene onto polypropylene beads and appropriate functionalization. The catalytic activity of the grafted, and subsequently sulphonated, polystyrenes was investigated in the hydrolysis of sucrose at 60 °C. Compared to conventional crosslinked polystyrene sulphonic acid resins, the grafted catalysts showed higher accessibility and an activity similar to that of homogeneous acid catalysts.
