How can I attach phytic acid (or its sodium salt) to polystyrene sulphonate?

22 August 2014 1 10K Report

I am planning to tag some phosphate containing molecules to a polymer typically poly styrene sulphonate or polystyrene sulphonic acid. I was looking into phytic acid or dimethyl phosphate. Can somebody help me with the synthetic procedure?
