Macroporous monolithic materials: synthesis, properties and application

Optical formation of polymeric materials with heterogeneously distributed nanopores from a photopolymerizable composite

“…At a certain amount of NС in the composition, this fact can be a result of microphase separation of the polymerizable medium and porous structure formation in the bulk polymer [2,5,13]. For example, self-formation of a nanoporous polymeric structure was obtained during the curing of the photopolymerizable composite based on an oligo (ester acrylate) OСM-2 in the presence of more than 25 wt.% of methanol [13].…”

“…In addition, the pore surface can be modified by functional groups or active sites to impart the desired properties of the porous materials [2,[6][7][8]. This approach allows a number of problems to be solved that are associated with heterogeneous catalysis control [12], new media creation for chromatography [2,6], and the making of nanofilters with selective separation of complicated water-organic mixtures [7,8].…”

“…At present polymeric materials with the specified nanoporous structure are of great interest [1][2][3][4][5]. Such materials may be extensively used to produce various separation membranes [5][6][7][8], as microreactors to form nanoparticles of inorganic compounds [9], as a medium for liquid or gas chromatography [10], and as alternative dielectric layers with extra low dielectric permeability in high-performance microelectronics [11].…”

“…Porous polymeric materials can be self-formed due to the phase separation of the components of the polymerizable medium during the curing process [2,3,[13][14][15][16]. Previously, we have observed and studied the effect of pore formation in the photopolymerizable composites (PPC) based on oligo (ester acrylates) in the presence of non-polymerizable neutral components (NC) [13].…”
