Silica Functionalized by Bifunctional Dendrimers: Hybrid Nanomaterials for Trapping CO2. Issue 19 (27th May 2016) - Riegert, David
Abstract : Three types of poly(phosphorhydrazone) dendrimeric structures bearing function(s) suitable for grafting to silica and trapping CO2 have been grafted to different types of silica with various textural properties (e.g., different surface areas, porous or nonporous, pore sizes). These hybrid hard/soft and inorganic/organic nanomaterials have been characterized. Some representative examples of these hybrid materials were chosen for trapping CO2 and their performances have been analyzed. Abstract : Several types of bifunctional dendrimeric structures have been grafted to several types of nanoporous silica to afford various hybrid nanomaterials. Some of them have been used to trap CO2, with various efficiencies, depending on the size and shape of the dendrimeric structures and the porosity of the silicas.
