X Abstract

Abstract: Conventional method of incorporation of organic molecules to inorganic porous materials requires high temperature and highly reduced pressure. An efficient process that avoids the serious technical problems is strongly desired. In this study, our group reports an unprecedented method for the efficient combination of C60 with MCM-41. The concept of the method is based on the solvophobic interaction between a nonpolar solute and an inorganic solid surface in a polar solvent. Very high levels (26 wt %) of C60 in MCM-41 were achieved using this method. Strong evidence for intrachannel inclusion was provided by the measurement of various characteristics of the resulting composites.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
