The aim of this work was to study the structural and electrical properties of a new polymer obtained by functionalization of a commercial poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) (Mw = 48000) by 1-chloro-2-phenylaminomethyl-6-phenylaminomethylene-cyclohex-1-ene groups and to evaluate the efficiency of two new polymers obtained by functionalization of the same PVC by grafting L-alanine and 1-(2-aminoethyl) piperazine groups to extract some metal cations from aqueous solutions. The structural properties of the polymers were investigated by different analytical methods; namely elemental analysis (EA), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the electrical properties of the polymer were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The percentage of extraction was determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). One of the obtained polymers gave an extraction ratio of Bi3+ = 98.77% which highlight the importance of the substitution of chlorine atoms by amino groups.
