High surface area polyHIPEs with hierarchical pore system
Abstract
The synthesis of polyHIPEs with bimodal pore-size distribution and very high specific surface areas up to 1210 m2 g−1 is reported. Monolithic polyHIPE precursors were swollen, and subsequently the polymeric network was crosslinked in the expanded state by internal and external electrophiles under catalysis of a Lewis acid leading to hypercrosslinked
