Abstract

This article describes the preparation of gradient porosity thermoset polymers. The technique used is based on polymerizing a solution of cross-linkable dicyclopentadiene and 2-propanol. The forming polymer being insoluble in 2-propanol, phase separation occurs. Subsequent drying of the 2-propanol gives porosities up to 80%. An apparatus was built to produce a gradient in 2-propanol concentration in a flask, resulting in polymerized gradient porosity rods. The resulting materials have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and density measurements. A mathematical model which allows prediction of the gradient produced is also presented.
