An astonishingly simple way to synthesize porous polymers

Caption

Researchers from SIT, Japan, discover that adding water to a triaziridine compound at mild temperatures is enough to produce strong and consistent porous polymers. By adjusting the reaction temperature and the initial triaziridine concentration, the morphological and mechanical characteristics of the polymers can be controlled.
