Abstract: An embodiment of this invention discloses a method for producing a network texture and the method comprises the steps of: formation of a porous structure as a template (matrix); formation of two coherent, independent, and separated robust continuous network structures within the matrix by using the matrix as the template; softening or removing the matrix to shift the two continuous network structures, leading to a novel network texture comprising two incoherent continuous network structures.

Abstract: Nanoporous polymers with gyroid nanochannels can be fabricated from the self-assembly of degradable block copolymer, polystyrene-b-poly(L-lactide) (PS-PLLA), followed by the hydrolysis of PLLA blocks. A well-defined nanohybrid material with SiO2 gyroid nanostructure in a PS matrix can be obtained using the nanoporous PS as a template for the sol-gel reaction. After subsequent UV degradation of the PS matrix, a highly porous inorganic gyroid network remains, yielding a single-component material with an exceptionally low refractive index (as low as 1.1).

Abstract: Nanoporous polystyrene matrix can be fabricated from the self-assembly of degradable block copolymer, polystyrene-b-poly(L-lactide) (PS-PLLA), followed by the hydrolysis of PLLA blocks. Metal is deposited in nanopores of the PS matrix using the nanoporous PS as a template via electroless plating. After subsequent UV degradation of the PS matrix, metal in the nanopores remains, yielding a metal nanostructure. The metal nanostructure may be a gyroid nanostructure, helical nanostructure or columnar nanastructure.

Abstract: A fabrication method of a nanomaterial by using a polymeric nanoporous template is disclosed. First, a block copolymer bulk is made from a block copolymer polymerized from decomposable and undecomposable monomers. By removing the decomposable portion of the block copolymer bulk, the polymeric nanoporous template with a plurality of holes is obtained, and these holes have nanostructures with regular arrangement. By exploiting a nanoreactor concept, a sol-gel process or an electrochemical synthesis, for example, is then carried out within the template such that the holes are filled with various filler materials, such as ceramics, metals and polymers, so as to prepare a nanocomposite material having the nanostructure. After removing the polymeric nanoporous template, the nanomaterial with the nanostructure is manufactured.
