Talk:Mesoporous silica

Improving
I am planning to improve this article. Does anyone have any suggestions? Apheontai (talk) 14:25, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

There is an article published by Neville Pinto in Journal "SMALL" that mentions about the imaging of protein adsorption on spherical mesoporous silica. This is the first ever article reporting direct visualization of protein adsorption on these materials. It will be very helpful to include that reference too. The reference is:

Katiyar. A., Pinto. N. G., Visualization of Size-Selective Protein Separations on Spherical Mesoporous Silicates, Small, 2, 2006, 644-648. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.16.9.11 (talk) 16:04, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Regarding the history section of mesoporous silicates, they actually first emerged in a patent lodged by a company called Sylvania Electrical back in 1969. A research group in France found the patent and recreated the material described in it. It turns out it was what Beck et al described as MCM-41, they just didn't know it! F. Di Renzo, H. Cambon, and R. Dutartre, Microporous Materials, 1997, 10, 283-286. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.1.104.8 (talk) 13:43, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Revamp
This article is not well researched and is slightly misleading. Particular attention needs to be paid to the synthesis portion of this article. There are a number of different synthesis pathways using different raw materials. Overall, the article is too generalized and needs more work and effort to be useful to others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.169.213.188 (talk) 20:02, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Grammar
The grammar of the first sentence of the second paragraph of the article is bad having an unclear subject. I would change it, but I am not totally certain of the intent of the sentence. Gnuarm (talk) 14:47, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
