Gas transport in functionalized mesopores
(< 2 nm), but little is known about the mechanisms of their influence on the gas flow in larger pores, when surface diffusion is neglected. Recent studies show that even in mesopores of 20 nm and above [...] Benjamin Besser, Universität Bremen Schematic illustration of a gas molecule propagating through pores without and with an alkyl-functionalization. enlarge image Especially for gas separation and chro [...] the influence of functionalized surfaces, we prepare mesoporous (inorganic) membranes with monomodal pore size distributions, serving as model structures. The membrane surface is then functionalized using
