Process for the Assembly of Ultrastable Mesostructured Organofunctional Silica Compositions
Number: 20040229751
Year: 2004
Patent Status: Issued
Authors: Pinnavaia, T.J., J. Shah, S.S. Kim
A process for the preparation of mesostructured organofunctional silica and silica-alumina compositions is described. The process uses a water soluble silicate to form the compositions, which have hexagonal, wormhole or foam mesostructures. The compositions are useful for catalytic and sorption applications.
