"I strongly recommend this book and I got a lot from
reading it--it is a "must have" for researchers
working in this field, and for those who wish to learn more about
it." (Angewandte Chemie, 2012)

"Nevertheless, this book is certainly a very appealing and
recent summary of relevant aspects on porous polymers and must
consequently be regarded a must for everyone working in that area.
I therefore recommend this book to chemists, physicists and
materials chemists as well as to any librarian." (Materials Views
