Porous polymer network structure; And a method for producing a polymer matrix composite comprising a plurality of particles distributed in the polymer network structure, Combining a thermoplastic polymer, a solvent in which the thermoplastic polymer is soluble, and a plurality of particles to provide a slurry; Forming the slurry into an article; Heating the article in an environment that maintains at least 90% by weight of the solvent based on the weight of the solvent in the slurry, and And inducing phase separation of the thermoplastic polymer from the solvent to provide the polymer matrix composite. |
