Low-density macroporous materials

Macroporous foams based on PEEK were also produced (Figure 9.10). Particle-stabilized liquid foams provide a general route for producing low-density macroporous materials from either melt-processable or intractable thermoplastics. By varying the size, concentration, and wettability of the particles in the colloidal suspensions... 

Highly Concentrated Emulsions as Templates for Low-Density Macroporous Materials... 

Highly concentrated emulsions are interesting systems for the preparation of low-density macroporous materials by polymerization in the continuous phase of the emulsions followed by the removal of the dispersed phase components. Macroporous solid foams or aerogels produced by this method consist of intercormected spongelike macropores. The droplet size distribution of the highly concentrated emulsion, which can be controlled by choosing an appropriate emulsification method (e.g. spontaneous emulsification method), is a crucial factor in determining the properties of the macroporous monoliths.
