We report a new strategy for developing porous network into polymeric materials, namely "solvent-assisted curing". A simple thermal process of non-porous melamine formaldehyde polymers in aprotic solvent affords porous characteristics with exceptionally high surface area, resulting from the swelling and exclusion of polymeric structure aided by the solvent. The porous property can be determined by selecting the solvent and monomer ratio that affects the degree of crosslinking. Furthermore, by tailoring the shape of precursor materials, we prepared the porous polymer in a variety of forms such as particles and a monolith. This versatile approach provides a useful step to expand the range of porous materials. |
