Mezoporowa

Mezoporowa is a term used in materials science to describe porous materials that possess pores with diameters ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. This pore size range places them between microporous materials (pores < 2 nm) and macroporous materials (pores > 50 nm). The unique size of these pores gives mezoporowa materials distinct properties that are valuable for various applications.

Materials exhibiting mezoporosity can be synthesized through a variety of methods, including sol-gel processes, templating techniques, and the assembly of nanoparticles. The specific structure and pore size distribution within mezoporowa materials can often be controlled during synthesis, allowing for tailored material properties.

The large surface area and specific pore volume characteristic of mezoporowa materials make them excellent candidates for applications such as catalysis, adsorption, separation, and drug delivery. In catalysis, the pores can provide active sites for chemical reactions, while in adsorption and separation, their size allows for selective uptake or passage of molecules. For drug delivery, mezoporowa structures can encapsulate therapeutic agents and release them in a controlled manner. Examples of mezoporowa materials include certain types of silica, zeolites, and ordered mesoporous carbons.
