--- _id: '25945' abstract: - lang: eng 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. article_type: original author: - first_name: Wolfgang full_name: Birnbaum, Wolfgang last_name: Birnbaum - first_name: Christian full_name: Weinberger, Christian id: '11848' last_name: Weinberger - first_name: Verena full_name: Schill, Verena last_name: Schill - first_name: Stefanie full_name: Haffer, Stefanie last_name: Haffer - first_name: Michael full_name: Tiemann, Michael id: '23547' last_name: Tiemann orcid: 0000-0003-1711-2722 - first_name: Dirk full_name: Kuckling, Dirk id: '287' last_name: Kuckling citation: ama: Birnbaum W, Weinberger C, Schill V, Haffer S, Tiemann M, Kuckling D.
