From page 19...
... Consequently, a wide range of physical properties and microstructural control can be achieved with materials of the same chemical composition by varying the volume fraction, size distribution, and connectivity of the microporosity. Microporous structures can be impregnated with passive and active organic, polymeric, and inorganic materials to produce a wide range of structural, optical, and electromagnetic composites with submicron dimensions (Ulrich, 1988a)
