Patent ID: 8415403

Claim:
A method for producing a porous material comprising steps of: (a) preparing a solution of at least one structuring agent having at least two structuring parts assembled by at least one non-covalent reversible type of interaction, and a precursor of a porous material, (b) forming a structured material of the precursor of the porous material around the structuring agent, (c) precipitating the structured material, (d) treating the precipitated structured material to disassemble the structuring agent from the structured material at a low temperature, (e) recovering at least 50% by weight of the structuring parts and the porous material, wherein the structuring parts are water-soluble hydrophilic polymers, chosen from double hydrophilic block copolymers, double hydrophilic graft copolymers, triblock copolymers, comb polymers, graft polymers, statistical copolymers, terpolymers and homopolymers.
