title: Pore-functionalized nanoporous materials derived from block copolymers.
abstract: This review deals with nanoporous materials made from the self-assembly of block copolymers with a special interest in the chemical functions covering the surface of their nanopores. A detailed overview of the existing methods and strategies to generate well-defined organic functional groups covering the surface of the pore walls is provided. This further enables to finely tune the affinity of the pore walls and to perform well-defined chemical reactions onto them, which is essential for further dedicated applications.
