A microporous material is a material containing pores with diameters less than 2 nm. Examples of microporous materials include zeolites and metal-organic frameworks. Porous materials are classified into several kinds by their size. The recommendations of a panel convened by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) are: microporous materials have pore diameters of less than 2 nm, mesoporous materials have pore diameters between 2 nm and 50 nm, macroporous materials have pore diameters of greater than 50 nm.
In the present book, fifteen typical literatures about Microporous Material published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on Physics, Chemistry, Mechanics and Applications in Materials Science, Rubber/Elastomeric Materials, Electrical and Electronics Materials, Organic Materials, Nanostructured Materials, etc. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in microporous material as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
