The porous structure films of PS containing silica nanoparticles of different hydrophobicity were obtained from breath figure method. For the porous films, the pores at the peripheral region and the center region were compared. It was found that the pores at the peripheral region appeared more uniform in size and showed higher degree of ordering. In addition, the patterns of the porous film became more disordered with the enhancing concentration of nanoparticles, and the pore size of the pore was increased. With the increase of the content of SiOH, that is, decrease in particle hydrophobicity, the Si elements were aggregated at the surface of the film and the interior of the pores. A hierarchical porous structure had been obtained at appropriate humidity and particle concentration. Finally, a possible mechanism of the hierarchical structure was proposed.

The principal structural characteristics of softwood (spruce) were replicated in CaCO3 and CaO on various levels of hierarchy from the macroscopic to the submicron scale. Positive replicas were obtained by infiltrating pretreated softwood templates with a Ca(OCOOCH3)2 precursor solution which hydrolyzed into CaCO3 nanoparticles. They reproduce the hierarchical porous structure of the wood template. Calcination at temperatures from 350 to 900 °C yields calcite as the main polymorph. Mechanical stability of the replica is optimized when the specimen is calcined at 900 °C

Some wood properties (such as permeability and acoustic properties) are closely related to its hierarchical porous structure, which is responsible for its potential applications. In this study, the effect of wood impregnation with furfuryl alcohol on its hierarchical porous structure was investigated by microscopy, mercury intrusion porosimetry and nuclear magnetic resonance cryoporometry. Results indicated decreasing lumina diameters and increasing cell wall thickness of various cells after modification. These alterations became serious with enhancing weight percent gain (WPG). Some perforations and pits were also occluded. Compared with those of untreated wood, the porosity and pore volume of two furfurylated woods decreased at most of the pore diameters, which became more remarkable with raising WPG. The majority of pore sizes (diameters of 1000~100,000 nm and 10~80 nm) of macrospores and micro-mesopores of two furfurylated woods were the same as those of untreated wood. This work could offer thorough knowledge of the hierarchical porous structure of impregnatedly modified wood and pore-related properties, thereby providing guidance for subsequent wood processing and value-added applications.
