Porous polymers / edited by Michael S. Silverstein, Neil R. Cameron, Marc A. Hillmyer.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Section 1. Synthesis -- section 2. Characterization -- section 3. Applications.

This book gathers the various aspects of the porous polymer field into one volume. It not only presents a fundamental description of the field, but also describes the state of the art for such materials and provides a glimpse into the future. Emphasizing a different aspect of the ongoing research and development in porous polymers, the book is divided into three sections: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications. The first part of each chapter presents the basic scientific and engineering principles underlying the topic, while the second part presents the state of the art results bas.
