ion-exchange resin

An insoluble polymer containing charged groups or ions that can be exchanged for charged groups or ions present in a surrounding solution.

ion-exchange resin

a high-molecular-weight, insoluble polymer of simple organic compounds with the ability to exchange its attached ions for other ions in the surrounding medium. They are classified as cation- or anion-exchange resins, depending on which ions the resin exchanges. Cation-exchange resins are used to restrict sodium absorption in edematous states; anion-exchange resins are used as antacids in the treatment of ulcers. Ion-exchange resins may also be classified as carboxylic, sulfonic, etc., depending on the nature of the active groups. Used in biochemical extractions and purifications.
