text: Catalysis plays a central role in many fields of life, e.g., in biochemical
processes, to reduce energy costs and resources in chemical industry and to decrease
or even avoid environmental pollution and in energy management. Porous alumina
(Al2O3) is an essential material in various applications, especially as a support
material for catalysts. It is often prepared by nanocasting using porous carbon
materials that serve as rigid structure matrices. In this work, an alternative
way to synthesize mesoporous Al2O3 by using hydrogels as porogenic material is
presented. Hydrogels can easily be patterned by light and used to imprint their
structure onto alumina opening a new approach to fabricate patterned Al2O3. The
hydrogels used in this work are based on poly(dimethylacrylamide) and were photo-chemically
cross-linked. Followed by a nanocasting process, mesoporous alumina samples were
synthesized and characterized by N2 physisorption and X-ray diffraction. The cross-linker
amount in the polymer network was varied and the influence on the properties of
the Al2O3 is analyzed.
