porous polymers

Porous polymers are materials made of large, chain-like molecules that contain tiny holes or pores throughout their structure. These pores increase the surface area, allowing the material to trap or interact with various substances, such as gases, liquids, or molecules. Because of their customizable pore sizes and chemical properties, porous polymers are used in applications like filtration, gas storage, sensors, and drug delivery, providing efficient separation, absorption, or controlled release. Their versatility stems from the ability to design their structure at the molecular level to suit specific needs.
