METHOD OF PRODUCING POROUS BODY, AND POROUS BODY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101857 titled 'METHOD OF PRODUCING POROUS BODY, AND POROUS BODY

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves producing a porous body by polymerizing a polymerizable monomer in a solvent, forming a phase separation product, and then vaporizing the solvent to leave behind the porous body.

  • Preparation of a solution containing a bi- or higher-functional polymerizable monomer and a solvent compatible with the monomer.
  • Direct radicalization of the polymerizable monomer in the solution to initiate polymerization.
  • Formation of a phase separation product including a porous body and the solvent.
  • Vaporization of the solvent, such as diethylene glycol diethyl ether, from the phase separation product.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in the production of porous materials for filtration, separation, or catalytic applications.

Problems Solved

This method provides a simple and efficient way to create porous bodies without the need for a polymerization initiator, reducing complexity and cost.

Benefits

The resulting porous bodies can have controlled porosity and structure, making them suitable for various industrial applications.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Production of Porous Bodies Using Direct Radicalization Method"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to methods for producing porous materials through phase separation processes or direct radicalization of polymerizable monomers.

Unanswered Questions

How does the porosity of the resulting body compare to other methods of production?

The article does not provide information on the specific porosity characteristics achieved through this method compared to traditional techniques.

Are there limitations to the types of polymerizable monomers that can be used in this process?

The abstract does not address whether certain types of polymerizable monomers are more suitable or effective for creating porous bodies using this method.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for producing a porous body of the present disclosure includes: preparing a solution including a bi- or higher-functional polymerizable monomer and a solvent compatible with the polymerizable monomer, and not including a polymerization initiator; effecting direct radicalization of the polymerizable monomer included in the solution, polymerizing the polymerizable monomer, and forming, from the solution, a phase separation product including a porous body and the solvent; and vaporizing the solvent included in the phase separation product, the solvent including a predetermined solvent such as diethylene glycol diethyl ether.
