This research aims to address the limitations of HIPE templating methods in creating robust porous foams without structural collapse.
Utilized a one-pot in situ strategy with Span 80/SiO2-stabilized water-in-oil HIPE template
Incorporated isobornyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, EGDMA, and zinc acetate
Applied stepwise heating for thermal polymerization and dynamic bond exchange.
Achieved a compressive stress of 0.246 MPa at 25% strain
Preserved porous architecture through transesterification catalysis
Established an energy-efficient and scalable pathway for robust porous polymers.
