Abstract

A polymer having a fractal configuration of structure which is self-similar or is scale invariant at different scales. As a consequence of their fractal configuration, such polymers have superior properties as an interstitial material for the adsorption of substances, and are useful as an additive or adjunct to ion exchange, filtration and membrane separation of compounds.
