08D03 Advances in the Synthesis and Characterization of Porous Inorganic Materials
OverviewThe papers in this session will describe new directions in the synthesis and characterization of porous inorganic materials. Examples of relevant materials include mesoporous ceramics, semiconductor nanotubes, and porous nanoparticle assemblies. Of special interest are hierarchical synthesis methods, synthesis and applications of environmentally responsive materials, and novel applications of porous inorganic materials.
