| In this paper we discuss the use of emulsion templating - and, in particular, emulsion-templated polymers - as a versatile method for the synthesis of macroporous and hierarchically-porous inorganic materials. We will show that the method can be applied to metals such as gold (see abstract graphic), metal oxides (TiO2, ZrO2, alumina), silica, and silica-gold nanocomposites. We will show how the materials can be characterized using a broad combination of techniques including gas sorption, microscopy (SEM, TEM), mercury intrusion porosimetry, solid state NMR, and confocal laser scanning microscopy.
