Silica is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth's crust, and over time it has been
introduced first into human life and later into engineering. Silica is present in the food chain …

Janus particles, named after the two-faced Roman god Janus, have different surface
makeups, structures or compartments on two sides. This review highlights recent advances …

Shaped zeolite nanocrystals and larger zeolite particles with three-dimensionally ordered
mesoporous (3DOm) features hold exciting technological implications for manufacturing …

Highly monodisperse spherical silica nanoparticles with diameters ranging from ca. 15 to
200 nm were prepared using an environmentally friendly water-based synthesis. The size of …

Zeolites are microporous materials with pores and channels of molecular dimensions that
find numerous applications in catalysis, separations, ion exchange, etc. However, whereas …

We present a review and critique of several methods for the simulation of the dynamics of
colloidal suspensions at the mesoscale. We focus particularly on simulation techniques for …

A liquid-phase method for preparing uniform-sized silica nanospheres (SNSs) 12 nm in size
and their three-dimensionally ordered arrangement upon solvent evaporation have recently …

For the investigation of the interaction of nanoparticles with biomolecules, cells, organs, and
animal models there is a need for well-characterized nanoparticle suspensions. In this paper …

Key microstructural properties of particulate coatings such as porosity and particle order are
established during drying. Therefore, understanding the evolution of particulate distributions …

Hierarchical stannosilicate molecular sieves with ordered mesoporosity and MFI topology
(three dimensionally ordered mesoporous imprinted (3DOm-i) Sn-MFI) were successfully …
