Was named best-in-department thesis (Chemistry, 2012) from the Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University

Presents state-of-the-art porous monoliths based on various chemical compositions (organic, inorganic, and organic–inorganic hybrid materials) fabricated via the sol–gel method accompanied by phase separation

Includes many electron micrographs, helping general readers to understand the pore structures of the materials
