Preparation and Characterization of Templated Sol-Gel Derived Materials

堪萨斯州立大学的Maryanne Collinson教授得到了分析和表面化学项目的支持，其研究重点是用于传感器应用的模板溶胶-凝胶材料。 该计划是设计和合成介孔和大孔薄膜，在分子尺度上表征其性质，并了解影响材料响应和选择性的因素。 大孔硅酸盐薄膜和有机/无机杂化薄膜涉及有机硅前体，以及分子模板硅酸盐薄膜将进行研究。 电致化学发光将被优化用于使用钌有机金属化合物作为试剂的分析应用。 精心设计的无机或混合膜是纳米技术研究的关键要素，可能具有工业应用。

Professor Maryanne Collinson of Kansas State University is supported by the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program for research focused on templated sol-gel materials for sensor applications. The plan is to design and synthesize mesoporous and macroporous thin films, to characterize their properties at the molecular scale, and to understand the factors that influence material response and selectivity. Macroporous silicate films and organic/inorganic hybrid films involving organosilicon precursors will be studied, as well as molecular templated silicate films. Electrogenerated chemiluminescence will be optimized for analytical applications using ruthenium organometallics as a reagent. Deliberately engineered inorganic or hybrid films are key elements of nanotechnology research with possible industrial applications.
