Hydrophilic Porous Polydimethysiloxane Sponge as a Novel 3D Matrix Mimicking Heterogeneous Pores in Soil for Plant Cultivation

In this work, a citric acid monohydrate (CAM)-templated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sponge was proposed to mimic heterogeneous pore structures in the soil for plant cultivation. The porosity of the PDMS sponges was tuned by adjusting the CAM template. The water intake capability of the sponge was im...
