Poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) brush-grafted silica particles, synthesized by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of sodium 4-styrenesulfonate and subsequent acidification, were employed as a reusable acid catalyst for fructose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in water. The particles exhibited a high activity with the HMF yield up to 31 %, in contrast to 26 % from the corresponding free homopolymer catalyst.
