Permeability of silica monoliths containing micro- and nano-pores (2010)
Journal Article
Fletcher, P. D. I., Haswell, S. J., He, P., Kelly, S. M., & Mansfield, A. (2011). Permeability of silica monoliths containing micro- and nano-pores. Journal of Porous Materials, 18(4), 501-508. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10934-010-9403-3

For applications as catalyst supports in flow reactors, porous silica monoliths require a combination of connected pores of micron-scale to enable fluid flow plus nm-scale pores to enable high catalyst area and activity. We have synthesised a range p... Read More about Permeability of silica monoliths containing micro- and nano-pores.
