Ordered Carbon Media for Separation Science

俄亥俄州立大学的Susan V.Olesik教授在化学系分析和表面化学计划的支持下进行研究，重点是开发用于分离科学的有序碳介质。基于功能化八氢呋喃的自组装和自聚合特性，分子印迹表面和具有有序碳表面的纳米纤维将被设计和合成。利用纳米种子概念、纳米纤维和基本气凝胶合成，也将开发用于毛细管电色谱的有序碳整体介质。该项目需要开发具有均匀吸附位置的选择性色谱分离介质的方法的基础工作。大多数碳基层析介质是具有多个吸附中心的非均相介质，均匀的表面有利于层析应用。这项工作的影响在于，化学分离、材料化学和表面化学。新类型的色谱分离将被启用，并将在表面化学方面获得新的见解。这项研究固有的跨学科性质将培养出在化学分离、纳米技术和表面科学方面具有特殊训练的学生。

Professor Susan V. Olesik of the Ohio State University is supported by the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program in the Division of Chemistry to conduct research that focuses on the development of ordered carbon media for separation science. Molecularly-imprinted surfaces based on the self-assembly and self-polymerizing properties of functionalized octatetraynes, and nanofibers with ordered carbon surfaces will be designed and synthesized. Ordered carbon monolithic media for capillary electrochromatography will also be developed using nanoseeding concepts, nanofibers and basic aerogel synthesis.This project entails the basic work of developing methods for the creation of selective chromatographic separation media with homogeneous adsorption sites. Most carbon based chromatographic media is heterogeneous having multiple adsorption sites, and homogeneous surfaces are advantageous for chromatographic applications. The impact of this work lies in, chemical separations, material chemistry, and surface chemistry. New types of chromatographic separations will be enabled, and new insights in surface chemistry will be gained. The inherently interdisciplinary nature of this research will produce students with exceptional training in chemical separations, nanotechnology, and surface science.
