Nanoporous Metal Membranes with Bicontinuous Morphology from Recyclable Block‐Copolymer Templates

Abstract

Nondestructive preparation of bicontinuous nanoporous metal membranes by replication of bicontinuous nanoporous polymeric membranes consisting of recoverable asymmetric block copolymers (BCPs) is reported. The BCP membranes are generated by swelling the minority domains of the BCP with selective solvents accompanied by reconstruction of the glassy matrix formed by the majority component (see figure).
