Making Nanoscale Materials with Supercritical Fluids

In nature, structured bone and other bio-minerals grow on preordered macro-molecular templates and this concept has been adapted to synthesize highly ordered silicate films with pore size on the order of few nanometers. Here, Johnston and Shah comment on Pie et al study of making nanoscale materials...

Description
Summary:In nature, structured bone and other bio-minerals grow on preordered macro-molecular templates and this concept has been adapted to synthesize highly ordered silicate films with pore size on the order of few nanometers. Here, Johnston and Shah comment on Pie et al study of making nanoscale materials with supercritical fluids.
