Freeze-casting (ice templating) is generally used to prepare super-macroporous materials. However, water solubility limits the application of freeze-casting in hydrophobic material fabrication. In the present work, inexpensive and low-toxic sulfolane was used as a novel crystallization-induced porogen (sulfolane crystal templating) to prepare super-macroporous hydrophobic monoliths (cryogels) with tunable polarity. The phase transition of sulfolane consisted of reversible processes in the liquid, semi-crystalline, and crystalline states. Because of the density change during phase transition, liquid sulfolane experienced a 16.4% volume shrinkage per unit mass. Thus, the cryogels obtained using the conventional freezing method contained obvious hollow-shaped defects. Furthermore, a novel route of pre-cooling, pre-crystallization, crystal growth, freezing, and thawing (PPCFT) was employed to prepare cryogels with defect-free macroscopic morphology and uniform pore structure. The as-obtained cryogels were composed of a super-macroporous structures and interconnected channels, and their porosity ranged between 85 and 97%. Moreover, the cryogels manifested good hydrophobicity (contact angle = 120–130°) and had absorption capacities greater than 10 g g–1 for oils and organic liquids. The maximum absorption capacities of the resultant cryogels in dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and liquid paraffin were 60.3, 35.8, and 15.2 g g–1, respectively. Moreover, sulfolane could conveniently dissolve hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers to generate amphiphilic cryogels (contact angle = 130–0°). Therefore, sulfolane crystal templating is a potential fabrication method for super-macroporous hydrophobic materials with tunable polarity.

环丁砜晶体模板:自组装超大孔疏水整体的一步可调极性方法

冻铸(冰模板)一般用于制备超大孔材料。然而,水溶性限制了冷冻浇铸在疏水材料制造中的应用。在目前的工作中,廉价和低毒的环丁砜被用作一种新型的结晶诱导致孔剂(环丁砜晶体模板)来制备具有可调极性的超大孔疏水整体(冷冻凝胶)。环丁砜的相变由液态、半晶态和晶态的可逆过程组成。由于相变期间的密度变化,液体环丁砜每单位质量经历了 16.4% 的体积收缩。因此,使用常规冷冻方法获得的冷冻凝胶含有明显的空心状缺陷。此外,一种新的预冷、预结晶、晶体生长途径,采用冷冻和解​​冻(PPCFT)制备具有无缺陷宏观形态和均匀孔结构的冷冻凝胶。所获得的冷冻凝胶由超大孔结构和相互连接的通道组成,其孔隙率在85%到97%之间。此外,冷冻凝胶表现出良好的疏水性(接触角= 120-130°)并且吸收能力大于10 gg–1用于油和有机液体。所得冷冻凝胶在二氯甲烷、乙酸乙酯和液体石蜡中的最大吸收容量分别为 60.3、35.8 和 15.2 gg –1。此外,环丁砜可以方便地溶解疏水和亲水单体以产生两亲冷冻凝胶(接触角 = 130-0°)。因此,环丁砜晶体模板是制备极性可调的超大孔疏水材料的一种潜在方法。
