Janus bifunctional periodic mesoporous organosilica

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Dec 21;58(1):112-115. doi: 10.1039/d1cc06086d.

Abstract

Synthesis of a Janus periodic mesoporous organosilica material (JPMO) is presented here. In this strategy, the surface of the hollow silica material was selectively functionalized with two different bridged organic-inorganic hybrid groups. It was found that the resulting bifunctional material is able to form a stable Pickering emulsion. This new type of PMO material may be suitable for widespread applications in various fields related to material science and catalysis.
