Segmented polymer networks containing poly(methyl vinyl ether) (PMVE) segments were prepared by free‐radical‐initiated copolymerization of PMVE‐ α , ω ‐dimethacrylate with styrene or 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). These networks were evaluated as thermo‐responsive solid‐phase extraction materials. Suspension‐derived polymer networks consisting of 80% of PMVE and 20% of HEMA adsorb toluene from an aqueous solution at 40°C and release the adsorbed toluene quantitatively at 20°C.
