New crosslinked (polydimethylsiloxane-ethylene-propylene oxide)-polyisocyanurate multiblock copolymers (MBCs) were synthesized, and their supramolecular structure and sorption characteristics were studied. It was found that the interaction of PPEG and D 4 leads to polyaddition of D 4 initiated by potassium-alcoholate groups. The use of the amphiphilic silica derivatives associated in an oligomeric medium (ASiPs) leads to structuring of the MBC due to the transetherification reaction of the terminal silanol groups of the MBC with ASiPs. It was established that the supramolecular structure of an MBC is built according to the "core-shell" structure. The obtained polymers were tested as sorbents for the development of new methods for the concentration and determination of inorganic compounds. The efficiency of sorption of reagents increased with an increase in the "thickness" of the polydimethylsiloxane component of the "shell" and with a decrease in the size of the polyisocyanurate "core". The use of the obtained polymers as adsorbents of organic reagents is promising for increasing the efficiency of field methods of chemical testing and inorganic analysis, including the determination of the elemental composition and the detection of traces of contamination.
