title: A hydrophobic adsorbent based on hierarchical porous polymers derived from morphologies of a biomineral.
abstract: The hierarchical porous structures of vinyl polymers, such as polystyrene (PSt) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), were derived from morphologies of a biomineral through replication. The resultant PSt hierarchical structures showed enhanced adsorption properties of organic molecules as hydrophobic adsorbents in an aqueous medium.
