MICROWAVE INITIATION FOR DEPOSITION OF POROUS ORGANOSILICATE MATERIALS ON FABRICS

摘要

Described herein are modification of fabrics using a microwave initiation technique to produce a porous coating on the fibers providing adsorbent properties as well as the potential for further modification. In embodiments, the fabric incoporates a periodic mesoporous organosilica compound (PMO) optionally bound to a porphyrin or other functional group, and/or a catalyst or optical indicator.
