Inorganic mesoporous coatings find widespread application. In many cases, control over the pore dimensions is of paramount importance. To this end, we establish a powerful route to pore size and dispersity control.

AbstractLow dielectric fluoro-containing poly(silsesquioxanes) (PSSQs) have been synthesized using trifluoropropyl trimethoxysilane (TFPTMS), methyl trimethoxysilane (MTMS), and 2, 4, 6, 8-tetramethyl-2, 4, 6, 8-tetra(trimethoxysilylethyl) cyclotetrasiloxane. The properties of fluorocontaining PSSQs based thin films were studied by electrical, mechanical, and structural characterization. Film was spun on a silicon substrate, baked at 150°C and 250°C for 1 minute, respectively, and cured in the furnace at 420°C for 1 hour under vacuum condition. Thermally decomposable trifluoropropyl groups of the fluoro-containing PSSQ were served as a pore generator and partially contributed to lower a dielectric constant. â-cyclodextrin (CD) was also employed as a pore generator. The concentration of the pore generator in the film was varied from 0 to 30 %. The dielectric constants of the porous PSSQ films were found to be in the range of 2.7 – 1.9 (at 100 kHz). Hardness and Young's modulus of the films were measured by nano-indentation. The elastic modulus and hardness of the porous films were well correlated with the concentration of the pore generators. Positronium Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) was employed to characterize a pore size of the porous fluoro-containing PSSQ film. The pore size of the film was less than 2.2 nm. The nanoporous films showed quite promising properties for commercial application.

ABSTRACTNanoporous polymer films have been prepared using immiscible blends of polyetherimide (PEI) and poly(caprolactone diol) (PCLD). The films were prepared by spin-coating from a common solvent — dichloromethane (DCM). To create the nanoporous films, PCLD was removed by immersing the films in acetone, which dissolves PCLD only. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to study the porous structure. The pore structure of the films was affected by many factors such as composition of the blend, molecular weight, and various processing parameters. The formation of nanometer size pores was mainly due to the fast phase separation process during spin-coating. The pore size and pore size distribution was found to depend on the blend composition.

ABSTRACTAn as-deposited film with a Cr compositional gradient (22–15 at.% Cr) was immersed in 22.5% HNO3 for 15 hours. In the part of the film with initial Cr content in the range of 22–18 at.%, Cu dealloying resulted in sufficient Cu dealloying (final Cr content = 33–80 at.%) without film dissolution. Using the film with optimal initial composition Cu82Cr18, we successfully fabricated a nanoporous film with a pore size in the range of 20–40 nm. As a result of the formation of Cr2O3 during dealloying, this film was transparent and exhibited an insulation state. The novel nanoporous film is expected to be applied as a nanofilter in moisture-in-oil sensors.

Nanoporous metal foams have an increasing importance in applications such as chemical catalysis, energy storage, and nanomedicine. This paper examines a simple strategy for controlling the pore volume fraction and pore size of nanoporous films synthesized by dealloying thin-films. By means of controlling the temperature and concentration of nitric acid in dealloying of AgAu thin-films, partially dealloyed AgAu nanoporous films are produced with a high degree of control over the pore size and pore volume fraction. Such capability enables the design of nanoporous metal catalysts materials with desired morphology.
