Monolithic polymeric supports with uniform pore diameter and tailored functional groups (A01+)

• Subject Area: Preparatory and Physical Chemistry of Polymers ; Polymer Materials
• Term: from 2018 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 358283783

Poly(urethane)-based polymeric monolithic materials with mesopores, e.g., 5, 10, 15 or 20±1 nm in diameter, shall be generated. Janus-type nanoparticles equipped with one polymer-compatible and one polymer-incompatible hemisphere shall be used in course of monolith synthesis such that they are finally located and half-embedded at the surface of the structure forming microglobules. Alternatively, polymeric monoliths with a defined pore-size distribution shall be generated via solvent-induced phase separation. Pore-size selective functionalization approaches are outlined.
