A new approach for increasing the relatively low surface area of polyHIPE material with micrometer scale pores, is described. Friedel-Crafts type reaction is used to connect neighbouring groups on the polymer matrix thus creating new pores, which are much smaller then existing ones. With controlling this reaction the amount of hypercrosslinking can be tailored. To such a support , an organic catalyst was bound and model reactions proved its efficiency.
