Fluorescent Nanoporous Materials from Polypropylene-Based Covalent Adaptable Networks.

ABSTRACT: Fluorescent polypropylene-based aerogels from thermoreversibly crosslinked networks have been developed. This facile and efficient synthesis results in low-cost, recyclable, chemically resistant, and highly porous functional materials. This process includes the chemical crosslinking of polypropylene, followed by thermal phase separation and freeze-drying, yielding aerogels with specific surface areas up to 200 m²/g, according to nitrogen absorption-desorption measurements. This is significantly higher than that previously reported for polypropylene porous materials. Besides characterizations of polymer networks by infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, a suite of analytical techniques was utilized to characterize the skeletal framework of aerogels, includin
