Crystallization was performed in a unit composing 30 miniautoclaves programmed to heat to 145 or 155°C and to quench sequentially. The synthesis under microgravity condition was conducted aboard the MAXUS 4 sounding rocket. A reference experiment under normal gravity was executed using the same temperature and

Research paper thumbnail of Zeotile-2: A microporous analogue of MCM-48

Solid State Sciences, 2005

A typical member of this material family is Zeotile-2. Zeotile-2 is mesostructurally similar to the cubic MCM-48 material with exceptional long-range order of the mesostructure. Zeotile-2 samples in which the TPA was either left or evacuated were prepared by leaching in boiling ethanolic acetic acid and calcination. The evacuation of the TPA gave rise to a substantial micropore volume revealed with nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The mesoporosity was independent of the presence of the TPA. Molecular separations of isooctane/octane mixtures illustrated the occurrence of molecular shape selectivity similar to MFI-type zeolites.

The synthesis leads to a lameUar arrangement and fusion of the slabs and a high pore volume, distributed over ultra-micropores (0.14 mL/g) and super- micropores (0.55 mL/g).

Research paper thumbnail of Tiling Silicalite-1 Nanoslabs into 3D Mosaics

Patterned, mesoporous silica materials with amorphous walls are obtained using structure directing surfactants or block polymers. In diatoms and sponges the formation of macroporous silica structures is directed by biopolymers and proteins. We report the discovery of crystalline silica materials with two levels of porosity and structural order. At the first level, building units are nanoslabs of uniform size with the Silicalite-1 zeolite framework generated by the tetrapropylammonium template. At the second structural level, the nanoslabs are linked through their corners, edges, or faces following patterns imposed by interaction with surfactant or triblock copolymer molecules. After evacuation of the organic molecules, microporosity is obtained inside the nanoslabs, and a precise mesoporosity between the nanoslabs depending on the tiling pattern of the nanoslabs. Three different tiling patterns are directly imaged by electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and N 2 adsorption confirm the mosaic structures derived from electron microscopy.

But these experiments also emphasized the need for longer duration missions.
