Three Sonogashira-Hagihara polymerization protocols were applied for the synthesis of conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) by using group IV tetra(p-ethynylphenyl) monomers with 1,4-diiodobenzene or 1,4-dibromobenzene. The optical properties and surface areas of the CMPs were compared and related to the preparation conditions and the geometry of the tetrahedral building block as obtained after X-ray analysis. In each series, surface areas decreased-independently from the chosen parameters of catalyst, base, and solvent-from carbon-centered CMPs (1595 m g ) to silicon-, germanium-, and tin-centered (649 m g ) networks.

Membrane technology holds significant potential for the recovery of acids and alkalis from industrial wastewater systems, with ion exchange membranes (IEMs) playing a crucial role in these applications. However, conventional IEMs are limited to separating only monovalent cations or anions, presenting a significant challenge in achieving concomitant H⁺/OH⁻ permselectivity for simultaneous acid and alkali recovery. To address this issue, the charged microporous polymer framework membranes are developed, featuring rigid Tröger's Base network chains constructed through a facile sol-gel process.

A heterogeneous salen-based conjugated microporous polymer catalyst (CMP@Cu-salen) is prepared by a one-pot method for -formylation of amines with CO. The uniformly dispersed Cu-salen site and porous structure facilitates the enrichment of CO and transfer of substrates and the transformation. Our CMP@Cu-salen shows excellent catalytic performance (conversion: 99%, selectivity: 90%) for formylation of -methylaniline under mild conditions (0.

Using a direct knitting strategy, we successfully prepared a novel heterogeneous catalyst consisting of pyridine-bridged bis(imidazolium-2-ylidene) palladium complexes (CNC-Pd) embedded in a knitted network polymer. The resulting catalysts (HCP-CNC-Pd-d) exhibited high specific surface areas of 982 m2 g-1 with microporous and mesoporous structures. The large surface area enhances contact between the substrate and the catalytic center, while the strong chelation between CNC and the metal ion ensures the catalyst's durability.

Background: The 3D printing of macro- and mesoporous biomimetic grafts composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) infused with nanosized synthetic smectic clay is a promising innovation in biomaterials for bone tissue engineering (BTE). The main challenge lies in achieving a uniform distribution of nanoceramics across low to high concentrations within the polymer matrix while preserving mechanical properties and biological performance essential for successful osseointegration.
Methods: This study utilized 3D printing to fabricate PCL scaffolds enriched with nanosized synthetic smectic clay (LAP) to evaluate its effects on structural, chemical, thermal, mechanical, and degradative properties, with a focus on in vitro biological performance and non-toxicity.

Poor breathability, inadequate flexibility, bulky wearability, and insufficient gas-adsorption capacity always limit the developments and applications of conventional chemical protective clothing (CPC). To create a lightweight, breathable, and flexible fabric with a high gas-absorption capacity, activated carbon (AC)-loaded poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) porous composite fibres were fabricated from a mixed wet-spinning process integrated with a solvent-free phase separation process. By manipulating the pore parameters of as-spun composite fibres, the exposure-immobilization of AC particles on the fibre surface can offer a higher gas-absorption capacity and better AC-loading stability.
