A highly porous polymeric foam can be prepared through emulsion templating by polymerizing the continuous phase of high internal phase emulsions [150], A maleimide-terminated aryl ether sulfone oligomer was copolymerized with divinylbenzene in the continuous phase, using a mixed surfactants system, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, dodecylbenzene-sulfonic acid sodium salt, and a peroxide initiator. The polymers show a CO2 adsorption and improved mechanical properties. The materials exhibit an open cell and a secondary pore structure with surface areas of a 400 m g ...

Emulsion-templated highly porous PolyHIPE monoliths These are initiated from high internal phase liquid emulsions and polymerized (see the review by Silber-stein [42]). In general, the main porosity of High Internal Phase Emulsions (HIRES) lies in the micrometer size range, but HIRES may show a multiscale porosity with one distribution down to some tens of nanometers.

Emulsion templating offers a route to porous polymers with well-defined morphologies. Emulsions are formed when at least two immiscible liquids are blended to give a heterogeneous suspension of droplets of one liquid inside a continuous phase of the other. If this continuous phase is polymerised, a porous polymer is formed. Emulsions can be described as either oil-in-water (o/w) or water-in-oil (w/o), where the droplet phase is oil or water, respectively.

C/W emulsions may be used as templates in the formation of porous polymers, as shown in Figure 5 (52). Polymerization takes plaee in the aqueous phase eontinuous channels between the CO2 droplets. The CO2 is vented and the water is removed to form a porous polymer. The median pore diameter on the order of 1 pm reflects the size of the original CO2 droplets. Polymer foams may be used as adsorbents, as substrates for catalysts, and as scaffolds in biomedical engineering.
