Environmentally benign heterogeneous nano-particle catalysts: synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity of 4-nitrophenol.

Pollution free catalyst is an attractive area of current interest. The p-Aminophenol is one of the most significant catalyst, because it involves the manufacture of various pharmaceuticals. Crosslinked poly(styrene)-co-poly(4-vinylimidazole) (PSPVIM) was prepared by varying the crosslinked monomer ratio as 2% and 10% respectively.
