Tailoring Surface Properties of Ordered Mesoporous Materials by Incorporation of Organic Functionalities into Siliceous and Hybrid Frameworks

化学系的分析和表面化学(ASC)计划将支持肯特州立大学的Mietek Jaroniec教授的研究计划。Jaroniec教授和他的学生将研究如何通过采用一种新的策略来定制周期性介孔有机硅(PMO)的表面性质，该策略涉及反应性有机硅和嵌段共聚物的自组装，并伴随着导致所需桥联和侧链有机基团形成的化学反应。这项研究将产生具有可剪裁表面和骨架性质的新型介孔材料。这项研究将为研究生提供极好的培训机会，他们将参与这一纳米科学和纳米技术领域的主要跨学科项目。Jaroniec教授和他的学生还将准备并发表一系列讲座，向地区高中的学生推广纳米科学和纳米技术。

The Analytical and Surface Chemistry (ASC) program of the Division of Chemistry will support the research program of Prof. Mietek Jaroniec of Kent State University. Prof. Jaroniec and his students will investigate ways to tailor the surface properties of periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) by employing a novel strategy, which involves the self assembly of reactive organosilicas and block copolymers accompanied by chemical reactions that lead to the formation of desired bridging and pendant organic groups. The study will result in new mesoporous materials with tailored surface and framework properties. The study will provide excellent training opportunities to graduate students who will be involved in this largely interdisciplinary project in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Prof. Jaroniec and his students will also prepare and deliver a series of lectures to promote nanoscience and nanotechnology to students in area high schools.
