Abstract
Communication: Continuous porous polymer monoliths that take on the shape o f the reaction vessel are described. These materials are generated by polym erizing crosslinking monomers such as trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (T RM, see Figure) in supercritical CO2. It is demonstrated that the pore size distribution can be fine-tuned with pressure or reverse micellar imprintin g.
