Microgravity effect on the self-organization of silicalite-1 nanoslabs

The effect of microgravity on the kinetics of the formation of Silicalite-1 from clear nanoslab suspensions has been studied. Samples processed on MAXUS4 have been analyzed ex situ and their particle populations have been compared to references obtained under gravity. Microgravity has an unexpected...

Description
Summary:The effect of microgravity on the kinetics of the formation of Silicalite-1 from clear nanoslab suspensions has been studied. Samples processed on MAXUS4 have been analyzed ex situ and their particle populations have been compared to references obtained under gravity. Microgravity has an unexpected and strong retarding effect on the aggregation of Silicalite-1 nanoslabs.
