The invention involves a polymeric, microporous membrane material characterized by a continuous-triply-periodic, highly branched and interconnected pore space morphology having a globally uniform, pre-selected pore size, characterized by high porosity. And further involves several related methods for forming mircorporous membrane materials; including polymerization of the hydrophobic component in a ternary surfactant/water/hydrophobe cubic phase, and other thermodynamically stable or metastable phases of phase-segregated systems, especially systems which are substantially ternary or binary, and particualarly directed to applications of the novel material in: immobilization, encapsulation, and/or controlled release of biologically active agents, and other applications where a controlled pore size is necessary or advantageous.
