A porous material is disclosed, made of a semi IPN type polymer alloy of a crosslinked polymer (A) obtained by the crosslinking polymerization of a crosslinking-polymerizable vinyl monomer and/or oligomer (a) with a non-crosslinked polymer (D) which is soluble in a solvent (B) capable of dissolving said monomer and/or oligomer (a) therein and subjecting said crosslinked polymer (A) to gelation but is insoluble in a coagulating solution (C) which is compatible with said solvent (B) but doesn't subject said crosslinked polymer (D) to gelation. A porous material excellent in mechanical strength as well as in heat resistance can be prepared. Various functional groups can be introduced into the surface of the porous material. Further, the pore diameter can be easily controlled. The porous material of the present invention is excellent in physical properties such as strength, hardness and heat resistance as well as in chemical and biological properties such as non-adsorptivity and selective adsorptivity of protein.

Process for the preparation of porous material and porous material

A method for producing a high-quality crop is described, which comprises irrigating soil with oxygen-removed water or water supersaturated with a non-oxygen gas, and the water is preferably drenched into the soil and/or irrigated onto the soil surface which is coated with a substantially air non-permeable sheet.
