Hierarchically Structured Porous Materials covers materials with bimodal, trimodal and multimodal pore size, with an emphasis on the successful design, synthesis and characterization of all kinds of hierarchically porous materials using different synthesis strategies.

Coverage includes:

• formation mechanisms related to different synthesis strategies
• natural phenomena of hierarchy and perspectives of hierarchical science in polymers, physics, engineering, biology and life science

Examples are given to illustrate how to design an optimal hierarchically porous material for specific applications ranging from catalysis and separation to biomedicine, photonics, and energy conversion and storage.
