    Investigation of the effect of the polymer synthesis method on physicochemical properties of sorbents is one of the topical problems in the chemistry of macromolecular compounds that has high scientific and practical interest. Determination of the optimal synthesis method will make it possible to create sorbents with physicochemical properties that led to the realization of effective sorption. In this work, we investigated the effect of synthesis methods (Pickering emulsion polymerization and precipitation polymerization in solution) of granular polymers based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate on physicochemical and sorption properties. The synthesis by Pickering emulsion polymerization led to improvement of the n-propyl alcohol diffusion into the polymer network and to the formation of more homogeneous and structurally stable polymer networks. Creating selective polymer networks by Pickering emulsion polymerization compared to precipitation polymerization in solution led to an increase in porosity, creation of more segregated surface of granules, improvement of binding sites availability at the temperature of 37 °C, and formation of the homogeneous sorption surface with high affinity to target molecules at 25 °C and 37 °C. Selective polymers synthesized by both polymerization methods had the largest values of available sorption surfaces areas for target molecules at 37 °C
