A heterogeneous pore decoration strategy on a hydrophobic microporous polymer for high-coverage capture of metabolites

Abstract

Herein, a heterogeneous pore decoration strategy on a hydrophobic microporous polymer is presented. The smaller pores in the material were completely decorated with hydrophilic polydopamine while most of the larger ones survived after modification, leading to its hydrophobic-hydrophilic hybrid properties and high-coverage capture ability of metabolites.
