  • Patent number: 11772983
    Abstract: A titania porous body is entirely formed of titania. The titania porous body includes a titania framework, first pores, and second pores. The titania framework forms a three-dimensional network structure. The first pores are opening portions of the three-dimensional structure. The second pores are disposed in a surface of the titania framework. Such a titania porous body is also referred to as a titania monolith.

  • Patent number: 10858491
    Abstract: The present invention provides porous particles made of an organic polymer, uniform in shape, and having through holes that are not closed. The porous particles according to the present invention are porous particles having a substantially spherical shape. The porous particles are made of an organic polymer. Each of the porous particles has an interconnected pore structure in which through holes provided inside the porous particle communicate with each other, and ends of the through holes are open toward an outside of the porous particle.

  • Patent number: 8696901
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymeric porous material characterized in that: the porous material has a bimodal pore size distribution attributable to macropores having a pore size of at least 50 nm and mesopores having a pore size of from 2 nm to less than 50 nm, the proportion of the specific surface area of the macropores to the specific surface area of all pores of the porous material is at least 10%, and the porous material is produced by (1) polymerizing a monomer in the presence of a polymerization initiator using as a porogen a solution obtained by dissolving a polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of at least 100,000 and a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of not more than 1.5 in a good solvent for the monomer, and (2) removing the porogen from the resultant product.
