- Additional information
- First demonstration on the control of pore geometry of an ordered, nanoporous material where pore shape is controlled via the anisotropic shrinkage of the inorganic matrix, allowing for the formation of deformed, elliptical pores with defined aspect ratios. Originally designed for the detection of oil grade and spills (US Federal Contract DTFR5314C00015). The publication led to additional funding from the German Research Association (DFG 8124/9-1; €250k), a patent application US-10265694-B2 (High-surface area functional material coated structures) and a company spinoff (https://www.metalmark.xyz (sissi@metalmark.xyz)) focused on developing materials for air purification.
