Abstract

High-capacity microcellular monoliths were prepared by a two-step process, including the synthesis of a bromoester-functionalized scaffold by the copolymerization of a highly concentrated emulsion and an in situ surface polymerization of methyl methacrylate with atom transfer radical polymerization. The influence of various parameters, such as the feed ratio, the concentration of immobilized bromoester groups, and the presence of a spacer group on the poly(methyl methacrylate) loading, was studied. Monoliths with capacities of up to 7 mmol g−1 were obtained. Thermogravimetric analyses, scanning electron microscopy experiments, and mercury intrusion porosimetry measurements were used for the characterization of the final materials. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
