Silica-based materials for advanced chemical applications / Mario Pagliaro. - Cambridge : RSC Pub., c2009. - xv, 192 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Functionalized silicas : the principles -- Controlled release -- Purification and synthesis -- Coatings -- Catalysis -- Sensing -- Hybrid silica-based composites -- Strategic aspects of functional silicas.

This is the first book to address the hot topic of functional silica gels and their applications. Originally used in chromatography, specialized silica gels have evolved into crucially important functional nanomaterials suitable for use in, amongst other things, chemical synthesis, analysis, purification, surface protection and drug release.
