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计划的支持，专注于传感器应用的模板化溶胶-凝胶材料的研究。该计划将设计和合成介孔和大孔薄膜，在分子尺度上表征它们的性质，并了解影响材料响应和选择性的因素。包括有机硅前驱体的大孔硅酸盐薄膜和有机/无机杂化薄膜，以及分子模板硅酸盐薄膜。电致化学发光将被优化，用于使用Ru有机金属化合物作为试剂的分析应用。精心设计的无机或杂化薄膜是纳米技术研究的关键元素，具有可能的工业应用。

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.
