The present invention relates to a method for post-modification of a
macroporous polymeric support comprising one or more unreacted double
bonds, which method includes the steps of contacting the support with a
liquid comprising a grafting compound; and initiating a free radical
reaction in the mixture obtained, wherein the grafting compound is
comprised of a double bond as a reactive group coupled to a linear or
cyclic chain of carbon. The grafting compound can be illustrated with
vinyl ethers and/or styrene and styrene derivatives.
