HIERARCHICALLY ORDERED CRYSTALLINE MICROPOROUS MATERIALS WITH LONG-RANGE MESOPOROUS ORDER HAVING HEXAGONAL SYMMETRY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009657 titled 'HIERARCHICALLY ORDERED CRYSTALLINE MICROPOROUS MATERIALS WITH LONG-RANGE MESOPOROUS ORDER HAVING HEXAGONAL SYMMETRY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a composition of matter that consists of a hierarchically ordered crystalline microporous material. This material possesses a well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering of hexagonal symmetry. The composition includes mesopores with walls made of crystalline microporous material, and there is a mass of mesostructure present between the mesopores. The long-range ordering is determined by the presence of secondary peaks in an x-ray diffraction pattern and/or the observable hexagonal symmetry under microscopy.
- The composition is a hierarchically ordered crystalline microporous material.
- It has a well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering of hexagonal symmetry.
- The composition includes mesopores with walls made of crystalline microporous material.
- There is a mass of mesostructure present between the mesopores.
- The long-range ordering can be determined by observing secondary peaks in an x-ray diffraction pattern and/or hexagonal symmetry under microscopy.
Potential Applications:
- Catalysis: The composition can be used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions due to its unique mesoporous structure.
- Gas Separation: The hierarchically ordered material can be utilized for separating different gases based on their molecular size.
- Drug Delivery: The mesoporous composition can be used as a carrier for controlled and targeted drug delivery.
Problems Solved:
- Lack of well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering: The composition solves the problem of achieving a well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering with hexagonal symmetry, which is crucial for many applications.
- Limited control over mesopore structure: The composition provides a way to control the mesopore structure and size, allowing for tailored properties and improved performance.
Benefits:
- Enhanced catalytic activity: The hierarchically ordered composition can exhibit improved catalytic activity compared to traditional materials, leading to more efficient chemical reactions.
- Selective gas separation: The mesoporous structure enables the separation of gases based on their size, offering potential applications in gas purification and storage.
- Controlled drug release: The mesopores can be utilized to encapsulate drugs and release them in a controlled manner, improving drug delivery efficiency and reducing side effects.
Original Abstract Submitted
a composition of matter is provided comprising hierarchically ordered crystalline microporous material having well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering of hexagonal symmetry. the composition possesses mesopores having walls of crystalline microporous material and a mass of mesostructure between mesopores of crystalline microporous material. long-range ordering is defined by presence of secondary peaks in an x-ray diffraction (xrd) pattern and/or hexagonal symmetry observable by microscopy.
