Abstract
Porous Blocks: Porous materials are widely used in separation processes and catalysis. Seo and Hillmyer (p. 1422 ) used block copolymers that naturally separate into domains to achieve a continuous network of pores. A chain transfer agent was used to direct the copolymerization of the two materials in situ to generate a structure with a percolating porous structure with pore sizes of a few nanometers and with tunable control over the polymer properties and extent of cross-linking.Keywords
