✦ Synopsis

Ultra-Thin Zeolite Films Through Simple Self-Assembled Processes.

-Ultra-thin films of zeolites on Si wafers are prepared by use of self-assembled monolayer techniques. In an aqueous colloidal solution of zeolite particles, an array of the amphiphilic hexanoic acid can induce deposition of a zeolite film through hydrophobic interactions. This technique is simple and inexpensive compared to other known methods.
