A siliceous porous material containing nickel was synthesized by means of an intercalation treatment method using a layered sodium octosilicate ilerite as a starting base material. The sodium ions between the crystalline silicate sheets in the octosilicate were exchanged for hydrogen ions in dilute hydrochloric acid, and then the basal spaces between the silicate sheets were extended by introdu...

Synthesis of mesoporous materials with a bimodal pore size has always been of great importance for size-selective separation process. Especially, ordered mesoporous cubic MCM-48 with its highly interwoven and branched pore structure, is a potential separation material in applications similar to which zeolites are now being used. This material could have specific technological advantages because...

The removal of formaldehyde at low concentrations is important in indoor air pollution research. In this study, mesoporous carbon with a large specific surface area was used for the adsorption of low-concentration indoor formaldehyde. A mesoporous carbon material, CMK-3, was synthesized using the nano-replication method. SBA-15 was used as a mesoporous template. The surface of CMK-3 was activat...

A new rapid, very simple and one-step sol-gel strategy for the large-scale preparation of highly porous γ-Al₂O₃ is presented. The resulting mesoporous alumina materials feature high surface areas (400 m² g-1), large pore volumes (0.8 mL g-1) and the γ-Al₂O₃ phase is obtained at low temperature (500 °C). The main advantages and drawbacks of different preparations of mesoporous alumina materials ...

The current investigation was aimed at identifying the role of mesoporous wollastonite particles on the healing of rat tibial bone defect. The bone defect was created with a 3-mm-diameter dental drill, and it was filled with mesoporous wollastonite particles. After second and fourth weeks of filling treatments, it was found that mesoporous wollastonite particles promoted bone formation as evide...

The advanced properties of mesoporous silica have been demonstrated in applications, which include chemical sensing, filtration, catalysis, drug delivery and selective biomolecular uptake. These properties depend on the architectural, physical and chemical properties of the material, which in turn are determined by the processing parameters in evaporation-induced self-assembly. In this study, w...

In this study, highly ordered mesoporous silica material (SBA-15) functionalized with Diethyl 2 - (9 -fluorenyl) malonate as a flourophore is reported. The anchoring of flourophores to the hydroxyl group on SBA-15 surface was done with post synthesis method. The obtained materials were characterized by small and wide angle X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, Fourier transform infrared ...

in this study, removal of acid blue 62 from aqueous solution by mesoporous silicate mcm-41 modified by aminopropyltriethoxysilane (aptes) composite was studied. properties of synthesized composite were analyzed and confirmed by sem, edx and ftir. results show that langmuir adsorption isotherm has the best compatibility with the results of experiments. kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order m...

To use mesoporous silicas as low-k materials, the pore entrances must be really small to avoid diffusion of metals that can increase the dielectric constant of the low-k dielectric. In this paper we present a new method to narrow the pores of mesoporous materials through grafting of a cyclic-bridged organosilane precursor. As mesoporous material, the well-studied MCM-41 powder was selected to a...

Injectable biomaterials to aid bone regeneration are worth investigating in bone tissue engineering due to minimized invasive damages. In this study, a novel in situ formed composite cement consisting of alginate and Sr-containingmesoporous calcium silicate nanoparticles (mSCS) has been designed. Firstly, mSCSwere fabricated with Sr-substitution for Ca in mesoporous calcium silicate nanoparticl...
