The use of this type of materials will allow the development of modern materials for the chromatographic column beds and the substrates of selective sensors. Moreover, these kinds of materials could be used as a drug carrier. Therefore, the aim of this study is presenting the synthesis and complexing properties of star-shaped oxiranes as a new sensor for the selective complexation of low molecular weight compounds. Propylene oxide and selected oxirane monomers with carbazolyl in the substituent were selected as the monomers in this case and tetrahydrofuran as its solvent. The obtained polymer structures were characterized using the MALDI-TOF. It was found that in the initiation step potassium hydride deprotonates the monomer molecule and takes also part in the nucleophilic substitution. The resulting polymeric material preferably cross-linked with selected di-oxiranes (1,2,7,8-diepoksyoktan in respect ratio 3:1 according to active center) was then used as a stationary phase in the column and thin layer chromatography for amine separation and identification. Sorption ability of the resulting deposits was determined using a quartz microbalance (QCMB). The study was carried out in stationary mode and flow cells to simulate actual operating phase conditions. Based on changes in electrode vibration frequency, the maximum amount of adsorbed analyte and the best conditions for its sorption were determined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym11101554","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,25]],"date-time":"2019-09-25T03:51:18Z","timestamp":1569383478000},"page":"1554","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["New Kind of Polymer Materials Based on Selected Complexing Star-Shaped Polyethers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6116-9510","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrzej","family":"Swinarew","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, Faculty of Computer Science and Materials Science, University of Silesia, 75 Pu\u0142ku Piechoty 1A, 41-500 Chorz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beata","family":"Swinarew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Engineering of Polymer Materials &amp; Dyes, Paint &amp; Plastics Department; Chorzowska 50a, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4850-1608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jadwiga","family":"Gabor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, Faculty of Computer Science and Materials Science, University of Silesia, 75 Pu\u0142ku Piechoty 1A, 41-500 Chorz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2440-1741","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Popczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, Faculty of Computer Science and Materials Science, University of Silesia, 75 Pu\u0142ku Piechoty 1A, 41-500 Chorz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Klaudia","family":"Kubik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, Faculty of Computer Science and Materials Science, University of Silesia, 75 Pu\u0142ku Piechoty 1A, 41-500 Chorz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1759-6456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arkadiusz","family":"Stanula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sport Science, Department of Exercise and Sport Performance, The Jerzy Kukuczka Academy of Physical Education, 40-065 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4885-6417","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zbigniew","family":"Wa\u015bkiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sport Science, Department of Team Sport Games, The Jerzy Kukuczka Academy of Physical Education, 40-065 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine and Medical Rehabilitation, Sechenov University, Moscow 119991, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6436-6306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Rosemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Primary Care, University of Zurich, 8091 Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2412-9103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beat","family":"Knechtle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Primary Care, University of Zurich, 8091 Zurich, Switzerland"},{"name":"Medbase St. Gallen Am Vadianplatz, 9001 St. Gallen, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.1002\/jlac.19375280110","article-title":"\u00dcber vielgliedrige Ringsysteme: VIII. \u00dcber eine neue Anwendung des Verd\u00fcnnungsprinzips","volume":"528","author":"Ziegler","year":"1937","journal-title":"Justus Liebig\u2019s Ann.
