Analysis of Self-Assembled Monolayers on Mesoporous Supports (SAMMS) Materials

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
John Bays
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The ability of self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous silica (SAMMS) to serve as a support for interfacial chemistry has been thoroughly proven by researchers at PNNL and other institutions. We…

Jay Grate
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
A large number of mission areas of the US. DOE demand functional materials that will meet the operational requirements of targeted applications. Indeed, innovative solutions to pressing national…

Highly Selective Monolayer Sorbents for Advanced Analytical Applications

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
John Bays
Project type
Exploratory Research
Molecular templating of self-assembled monolayers on a mesoporous silica may be used for highly selective detection of relatively small molecules. By using different templating processes and a…

Europium Uptake in Various SAM Coated Mesoporous Silica

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
John Bays
Project type
Exploratory Research
A variety of self assembled monolayers (SAM) may be applied to mesoporous silica substrates. These SAMs may bind europium or other lanthanides from solution. It is important to quantify the…

Selective Heterogeneous Catalysis
