Multifunctional Porous Materials: Preparation, Structure, Modeling and Applications

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Porous materials and functional porous composites demonstrate ubiquitous applications in the fields of thermal insulation, cushioning, soundproofing, wave absorption, separation, EMI shielding and many other industrial sectors that benefit from lightweightness and some other properties. The performance of porous products is primarily determined by the matrix type, fillers, porosity, pore size and the micro/nanostructure that formed during preparation. The methods for preparing porous materials include free foaming, constrained foaming, supercritical fluid foaming, foam injection molding, batch foaming, extrusion foaming, 3D printing as well as freeze-drying, etc. This Special Issue provides a forum for the discussion of the preparation, performance and modeling of multifunctional porous materials, with a focus on state-of-the-art progress, developments, and new trends. Perspectives, review articles, full papers, short communications, and technical papers on this topic are welcome.
