Polymer to or in which a reagent or catalyst is chemically bound, immobilized, dispersed, or associated.
Notes: - A polymer support is usually a @N04113@.
- A polymer support is usually prepared in bead form by @S06198@ @P04740@.
- The location of active sites introduced into a polymer support depends on the type of polymer support. In a swollen-@G02600@-bead polymer support the active sites are distributed uniformly throughout the beads, whereas in a macroporous-bead polymer support they are predominantly on the internal surfaces of the macropores.
