Process of manufacture of a porous polymer by use of a porogen.

摘要

The present invention is directed to a process for the production of a porous polymer comprising the steps of: (i) forming a mixture comprising a polymerizable component and an organic solvent wherein the polymerizable component comprises at least one macromonomer having at least one perfluoropolyether unit; (ii) polymerizing said mixture wherein immediately after the polymerization of said mixture at least a substantial proportion of said organic solvent is in the form of a discrete phase and wherein said discrete organic solvent phase forms an interpenetrating network throughout the mixture or is dispersed throughout the mixture; and (iii) removing the discrete organic solvent phase.
