title: Multiscale porous interconnected nanocolander network with tunable transport properties.
abstract: A nanocolander network is developed by embedding mesoporous block copolymers inside the structural frame of a macroporous inverse-opal structure. Spontaneously formed macroconduits interconnecting the macropores are utilized as internal bypasses for enhancing the bulk transport properties. A demonstrative application for the membrane of the nanocolander network is of perfect size-selectivity for nanoparticle separation without compromising the high permeability of the transporting medium.
