Incorporating organic polymer into silica walls: A novel strategy for synthesis of templated mesoporous silica with tunable pore structure

Characterization of pore-expanded amino-functionalized mesoporous silicas directly synthesized with dimethyldecylamine and its application for decolorization of sulphonated azo dyes

“…2a and b exhibit their nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and PSDs, respectively. The isotherms are in accordance with the type-IV curve, which is the characteristic of mesostructures [36]; moreover, the adsorption-desorption hysteresis loop of PEAFMS shifts to a higher relative pressure compared with that of AFMS and reported mesoporous materials swelled by some other expanders [37,38]. This implies that the mesopore size was markedly expanded with DMDA.…”

Preparation of mesoporous carbon nanofibers from the electrospun poly(furfuryl alcohol)/poly(vinyl acetate)/silica composites

“…[7][8][9] FA converts into poly(furfuryl alcohol) (PFA) in the presence of acid, while it can also copolymerize with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) to form a PFA/SiO 2 composite. 10 Thus, mesoporous carbon materials can be obtained by carbonizing the composites and treating them with hydrouoric acid. The crucial point of this process is to adjust experimental parameters precisely in order to balance the hydrolysis rate of TEOS and polymerization rate of FA.…”

Monomers and Resulting Polymers from Biomass

“…The resins produced by condensation of FA have found a number of applications, including metal casting cores, corrosion-resistant coatings, polymer concretes, wood adhesives, low flammability materials, and porous carbon [67,[76][77][78][79][80]. They are also used in hybrid materials such as carbon-silica, nanocomposite carbons, PFA-silica, Nafion-PFA, and sol-gel-based nanocomposites [67,[80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87].…”
