Recent Progress in Mesostructured Materials

"Recent Progress in Mesostructured Materials" is a selection of oral and poster communications presented during the 5th International Mesostructured Materials Symposium (5th IMMS2006). Authorized by International Mesostructured Material Association (IMMA) and hosted by the Fudan University, China. The scope of this involved field covers both traditional inorganic mesostructured molecular sieves and mesostructured materials like organic polymers, metals, organic-inorganic nanocomposites, and ordered mesoporous carbons, the hot topics in chemistry, crystallization, structure, liquid crystalline, catalysis and materials science.This symposium provided a forum for the presentation of the most novel development and knowledge in the science and technology of mesostructured materials. Papers presented cover a wide range of topics that include synthesis, structure determination, characterisation, modelling, and application in catalysis, adsorption, biochemistry and advanced material sciences. This highly visual book is a must for readers looking to stay up-to-date on mesostructure science. It contains a selection of more than 200 oral and poster papers, covering research aspects/developing trends of mesostructured materials. It serves as an important reference for those working in the material science, catalysis and biotechnology fields.
