Nanoporous materials are potentially useful for their permeation, dielectric, thermal and optical properties. These materials could be a future alternative for the insulating foams currently used in different industries. In order to realize such performance, highly nanoporous materials (pore size∼100–150 nm and porosity≥85%) that take advantage of the Knudsen effect and low solids contribution to heat conduction are required. The potential for designing such materials by carrying out templated cross-linking reactions using microemulsions and colloidal dispersions was investigated. It was found that these templates helped in imposing some fine pore structures (<200 nm) characteristic of them but the coarser pores (>1 μm) that are formed due to phase separation and aggregation effects upon cross-linking could not be avoided. As a result the thermal performance of these materials was in between the conventional macroporous foam (dpore∼40–100 μm) and sol-gel based nanoporous materials (dpore∼150 nm).
