		Pore Stability in Mesoporous Polymers
		The introduction of mesopores, i.e. pores possessing sizes between 2 and 50 nm, is accompanied by the introduction of a large surface area. Consequently, a large interfacial energy has to be taken into account. Generally, systems tend to minimize their total free ... [more]


		Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity
		a) Microporous polymers from natural resources b) New approaches to functional microporous polymers c) Understanding Intrinsic Microporosity a) Microporous polymers from natural resources Perceiving the world´s ... [more]


		New Sustainable Synthetic Pathways towards Functional Porous Polymers
		Hydrothermal Synthesis of Polyimides Fully-aromatic polyimides (e.g. Kapton®) are a class of high-performance polymers, which have a broad applications, ranging from microelectronics to gas separation membranes. There is still a broad interest from ... [more]
