Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For many years, porous polymeric materials have been a thriving area of scientific research. Permanent porosity along with chemical and thermal resistance generate significant advantages in many practical applications. Such materials are used as column packing in different chromatography techniques, as filtration/separation membranes, support for catalysts and sensors, as carriers in drug delivery systems, in water treatment and CO2 capture, etc. In comparison with alternative adsorbents, porous polymers are stable throughout the whole pH range, and they can be simply functionalized and have the ability to create specific sorption spaces. Moreover, they can be easily processed and obtained in the form of monoliths, thin films, and microspheres.
This Special Issue focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and modification of permanently porous polymers. Reviews, original articles, and short communications covering the most recent advances are welcome.
