Abstract

A hierarchical macroporous epoxy resin monolith has been successfully synthesized via a single semi-fluorinated surfactant (FSO-100) templating approach. The hierarchical macroporous material is characterized by variety of techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric (TG), infrared (IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that this material features a hierarchical macropore distribution with pore sizes at 0.4–2 μm and 20–100 nm, respectively. Additionally, the semi-fluorinated surfactant (FSO-100) disperses homogenerously in the epoxy resin, which imparts mesoscopic features.
