A control thick-film SnO2 gas sensor was modified with zeolites holding LTA, FAU and MFI frameworks using two different approaches to integrate them into the gas-sensing interface. The objective was to prompt selectivity and sensitivity enhancements that were otherwise unattained with the unmodified material when detecting a range of hydrocarbon vapours with similar molecular structures and kin...

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is directly integrated with low temperature plasma ionisation mass spectrometry to rapidly detect organophosphate chemical warfare agent simulants and their hydrolysis products in chemical mixtures, including urine. In this sampling and ionization method, the fibre serves: (i) to extract molecules from their native environment, and (ii) as the ionization elect...

This mini review article, intends to provide the essential information about microemulsion technique as a reliable approach toward the synthesis of zeolitic nano crystallites. The strategy discussed here provides a unique, effective, and potentially general methodology to the preparation of uniform and high purity nano crystallites of template-free zeolitic materials including LTA, faujasite ty...

In this paper, the influence of permanent binder was first determined on photopolymerization process under mild condition (visible LED irradiation, at room temperature and air) LTA zeolite/polymer based composites. Different inorganic binders were tested in order to investigate their optical properties improve mechanical after polymer removal by thermal treatment. Optimum formulation obtained w...
