Organic Porous Polymer Materials: Design, Preparation, and Applications

Abstract

The synthesis of porous organic polymer materials with nanoscale range has long been an important science subject and received an increasing level of research interest owing to their essential properties merging both of the porous materials and polymers such as low skeleton density, processability, easy functionality, and diverse synthetic methods. In this chapter, several porous polymer materials including covalent organic frameworks (COFs), hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs), conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs), and macroporous polymers from high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) will be introduced as well as their diversiform synthetic methods and potential applications including gas storage, carbon capture, separation, catalysis, sensing, energy storage and conversion.
