Reactive molecules or functional building blocks are connected through covalent or noncovalent bonds to form gels and eventually polymer networks. Under controlled conditions, they are arranged in an orderly fashion in the gel state to produce polymer networks with definite microstructures. The most attractive features of polymer networks are high strength, durability, and dimensional stability. In recent years, polymer networks with porosity and specific functionality have been studied extensively because of their practical applications such as in molecular storage and retrieval. They are also considered as promising materials as physical sorbents for the sequestration of pollutants. In this talk, I will present some examples of our work on the synthesis and applications of microstructure controlled polymer networks. |
