A method for producing a porous material excelling in stability of
preservation is produced. A method for the production of a porous material
comprising a step for obtaining a porous polymer by polymerizing an HIPE
containing a polymerizable monomer is disclosed, which method comprises a
step for adding a compound capable of reacting with a polymerization
initiator and/or a compound capable of reacting with an unsaturated double
bond to said emulsion, said porous polymer and/or said porous material
having a conversion of not less than 70%. According to this invention, it
is made possible to produce a porous material excelling in stability in
storage and to decrease the polymerization initiator and the residual
monomer very simply.
