makropooride
Makropooride is a hypothetical porous solid characterized by a network of interconnected macropores with diameters typically exceeding 50 nanometers, yielding high porosity and low density. The term, from macro- and poros-, reflects its design goal: to combine large pore channels with solid connectivity. Although discussed in theoretical contexts and some speculative literature, makropooride has not been reported as a confirmed mineral or synthesized material in peer-reviewed journals.
Structure and properties: The material is envisioned as a rigid oxide or composite phase forming a continuous
Synthesis: In speculative routes, makropooride can be produced by templating macroporous structures, using sacrificial beads or
Applications: Potential uses include catalysis with rapid mass transport, adsorption and separation of large molecules, lightweight
