39. 2 pressure is increased, as evident from the variation in pore size in samples 3-5. Thus, the molar ratio of monomer to porogen varies significantly from experiment to experiment while the volumetric ratio does not because the reactions are carried out in a sealed vessel of fixed volume. This is an unusual feature of polymerization reactions conducted using compressible supercritical fluid solvents.
