Morphology Control and Metallization of Porous Polymers Synthesized by Michael Addition Reactions of a Multi-Functional Acrylamide with a Diamine

Porous polymers have been synthesized by an aza-Michael addition reaction of a multi-functional acrylamide, <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>′,<i>N</i>″,<i>N</i>‴-tetraacryloyltriethylenetetramine (AM4), and hexamethylene diamine (HDA) in H<sub>2</sub>O wi...
