Mesoporous organic polymers obtained by “twostep nanocasting”

Hierarchically porous materials: synthesis strategies and structure design

“…This combination is usually called the ''true lyotropic liquid crystal approach'' (also called nanocasting). [154][155][156][157][158] In Fig. 4 is shown the typical procedure employed in the true lyotropic liquid crystal approach which results in formation of well-ordered porous materials.…”

Synthesis of highly ordered mesoporous polymer networks

“…Thus none of them belong to a mesoporous polymer network. In practice, the first mesoporous organic polymers were reported through replication of hexagonal-type mesoporous materials with a three-dimensional continuity by Goltner et al 10,11 The work described the extracted polymer networks using various characterizations including small angle X-ray scattering. Since then, there has been no report on the fabrication of a mesoporous polymer network through casting of mesoporous hosts.…”

“…In 1986, Knox, et al [13] first synthesized the rigid mesoporous carbon materials which exhibited unique retention characteristics in liquid chromatographic separation using spherical solid silica gel with controlled pore structure as the template and a phenolformaldehyde resin as the carbon precursor. However, the concept of nanocasting in mesoporous materials was proposed after more than 10 years [14]. After that, many unique carbon materials with disordered structures have been synthesized by the hard-templating approach using silica as template.…”
