General description

Starbons™ are mesoporous carbons synthesized by the carbonization of expanded mesoporous starch at high temperatures. Amylose and amylopectin polymer chains in starch self assemble to form large mesoporous structures. Starbons™ exhibit tunable surface energies and high volume. It can be readily functionalized.Mesoporous carbon may have a hydrophilic pore surface and a BET surface area of 300m2/g. The mean particle size of this graphitized carbon is 5μm.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.
Free-flowing micron-sized powder
Functionality by FITR: OH, C=O, and C=C

Application

It was used for a comparative study of the toxicity effects of various carbon nanoparticles on C57BL/6 mice.
Carbon, mesoporous can be used in the esterification of oleic acid and lauric acid for the formation of biofuels. It forms a composite with nanoscale zero valent iron particles for the removal of arsenic from groundwater.

Starbons: Cooking up Nanostructured Mesoporous Materials

Our strategy is to synthesize mesoporous carbonaceous materials (“Starbons”) using mesoporous expanded starch as the precursor without the need for a templating agent.

Mesoporous Materials: Properties and Applications

Mesoporous Materials include a range of high surface area porous silicates with applications in gas adsorption, drug delivery, diagnostics and catalysis.

Mesoporous Materials Synthesis

Mespoporous materials, also known as mesoporous molecular sieves, are a class of 3D-nanostructures with well-defined mesoscale (2–50 nm diameter) pores and surface areas up to 1000 m2/g

Strategy for Toxicity Screening of Nanomaterials

A key challenge for nanomaterial safety assessment is the ability to handle the large number of newly engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), including developing cost-effective methods that can be used for hazard screening.
