New amphiphilic sorbents have been synthesized by crosslinking of the chloromethyl side‐functionalized polysiloxanes with piperazine. Three structures, differing by the crosslinking degree, have been synthesized as potential sensitive materials for humidity sensors able to work at high humidity or as metal sorbents. Correlations between structure and morphology of the polymeric matrix, as well as their swelling capacity in solvents with different polarities, are discussed. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
