Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are usually obtained as insoluble and infusible particles and the poor processibility of MOPs highly limited their practical usages. In this study, we prepared an amphiphilic, compressible, and monolithic microporous polyimide (MMPI) by the sol-gel reaction of a tetracarboxylic dianhydride and an aromatic triamine. MMPI consisted of interconnected spherical particles which formed a three–dimensional network morphology. MMPI was easily cut into any shapes using a knife. It showed an amphiphilic characteristic, because of the balanced presence of hydrophobic aromatic and aliphatic carbons and hydrophilic imide and terminal carboxyl and amino groups. The comprssibility, amphiphilicity, and microporous property made MMPI a good candidate for the removal of pollutants from an aqueous solution. |
