Extra High Temperature Acrylics and their Alloying Potential

Temperature, a Simple and Efficient Tool for the Control of Pore Size Distribution in Macroporous Polymers

“…results from the phase separation that occurs during polymerization when the polymerization mixture contains both cross-linking and porogenic agents.2-4 Unfortunately, there are no exact rules for the selection of polymerization conditions, and optimization experiments must be carried out for each monomer system selected. Typically, porous properties are controlled by the type of porogen selected and the amounts of both porogen and cross-linker used (e.g., refs [5][6][7][8][9]. These variables are closely related to the solubility of the polymer molecules in the polymerization system.…”
