Hyper-cross-linked polymers with controlled multiscale porosity via polymerization-induced microphase separation within high internal phase emulsion

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Jul 12;54(57):7908-7911. doi: 10.1039/c8cc03508c.

Abstract

We report the preparation of hierarchically porous polymers containing fully interconnected and controlled micro-, meso-, and macropores, where a hyper-cross-linked microporous polymer skeleton forms a reticulating mesoporous wall that supports a highly porous macropore framework. These materials provide high specific surface area and >90% porosity, useful for rapid sorption of organic molecules.
