Abstract

Formation of a porous structure with the use of monodisperse polymer particles as templates is exemplified by the synthesis of two types of solid macroporous polymer materials featuring different hydrophobic-hydrophilic properties. The materials are prepared via the photo-induced free-radical copolymerization of monomers in the presence of pore-forming agents: strictly spherical polystyrene microspheres with various diameters and natures of the surface. Copolymer samples are analyzed via scanning-electron and atomic-force microscopy, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), porosimetry based on the intraporous adsorption and desorption of gases (BET analysis), IR measurements, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
