Solidification of emulsified polymer solutions via phase inversion (SEPPI): A generic way to prepare polymers with controlled porosity KU Leuven
Porous polymeric structures with controlled porosity were prepared using a new approach involving solidification of emulsified polymer solutions via phase inversion (SEPPI). The new method starts from a polymeric emulsion for which the presence of nanosized particles or surfactants is crucial. Subsequent solidification of such emulsion is realized by simple contact with a polymer nonsolvent. The resulting solids exhibit spherical pores for which ...
