To provide methods for solvent-free preparation of polymers and subsequent processing thereof into activated carbon materials, which tune a pore structure in a polymer gel and carbon produced from the polymer gel while also providing distinct advantages over the current art.SOLUTION: A method for preparing a polymer comprises physically blending a mixture of particles comprising polymer precursors, and aging the mixture at a temperature and for a time sufficient for the one or more polymer precursors to react with each other to form a polymer gel, where the mixture comprises less than 10 wt.% of a solvent.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】溶媒なしにポリマーを調製する方法、及びそれに次ぐ活性炭材料中への処理に関し、ポリマーゲル及び該ポリマーゲルから製造される炭素の細孔構造を調整し、電流技術の明白な利点を与える。【解決手段】ポリマー前駆体を含んでなる粒子の混合物を物理的に混合すること、及び１以上のポリマー前駆体が互いに反応し、ポリマーゲルを形成するために十分な温度及び時間で、該混合物を熟成することを含んでなるポリマーを調製する方法であって、該混合物は１０重量％未満の溶媒を含んでなる、方法。【選択図】なし
