Formation of Mesoporous Carbon With a Face‐Centered‐Cubic Fd3m Structure and Bimodal Architectural Pores From the Reverse Amphiphilic Triblock Copolymer PPO‐PEO‐PPO

From polymer templates to mesoporous materials: With the reverse amphiphilic triblock copolymer PPO-PEO-PPO and a resol resin precursor an organic–organic self-assembly process leads to the formation of an ordered polymer and a carbon mesostructure with a face-centered-cubic Fdm symmetry and bimodal pores (see scheme). PPO=polypropylenoxide, PEO=polyethylenoxide.
