Synthesis of Porous Biomimetic Composites: A Sea Urchin Skeleton Used as a Template

The paper presents an original method for the template synthesis of biomimetic porous composites using polyferrophenylsiloxane (PFPS) and skeleton sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius as a structuring template. study aimed to form organosilicon base composite with inverted structure relative shell period movement about 20 µm ceramic fabrication silicate average pore size distribution 10 ?m obtained by reaction PFPS inorganic test under conditions calcination at 1000 °C followed acid etching. composition morphology were investigated IR, XRD, XPS, EDX, SEM techniques mercury porosimetry; parameters structures depend on selected methods their synthesis. proposed is fundamental importance developing chemical new biomimetics unique porosity architecture based environmentally friendly natural raw materials vast practical application.
