Recent Advances in Nanofabrication of the Morphology-Controlled Hypercrosslinked Polymers

Hypercrosslinked Polymers (HCPs) have received considerable attention in the field of catalysis, adsorption, separation, biomedical engineering, and energy storage/conversion, because of their permanent microporous structures and high surface areas. Up to now, various "bottom-up" and "top-down" methods have been reported to synthesize of the HCPs with diverse morphologies, and these morphologies have been demonstrated to play a significant role in various applications. In this review, we summarized the latest research in the design of morphology-controlled HCPs by using three kinds of main methods and we also emphasized on the template free solutions. Furthermore, the future developments and challenges for fabricating of morphology-controlled HCPs are also presented in this review.
