“…21,22 This HIPE templating method is exible and easy to control pore structure and size as well as porosity by varying the compositions of the emulsions, compared with other methods for the fabrication of porous polymers. [23][24][25] In previous reports, polyHIPEs are fabricated by various monomer precursors, such as styrene, 26,27 4-vinylbenzyl chloride, 28 methyl methacrylate, 27,29 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 30 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 31 stearyl methacrylate, 32 hexauorobutyl acrylate, 33 butyl acrylate, 34 and so on, giving mechanical properties that range from elastomeric to extremely tough and rigid. 35 Because of their high porosity, large surface area, open and interconnected pores, polyHIPEs have great potential in the eld of separation.…”
