This work concerns the investigation of porous poly(phenylquinoxaline)s (PPQ) films. The approach described relies on the in situ generation of foaming agents during the thermal curing of dense thin films of PPQ-containing thermolabile groups. For this purpose, a series of phenol-containing PPQ has...
