Outline of Final Research Achievements

The syntheses of bulk of zeolite materials (various types) and mesoporous materials (MCM or FSM) were attempted by the modified hydrothermal process. In addition,　the film of zeolite materials and mesoporous materials were successfully synthesized. These dense bulks and films had the 3D network of nanopores and dense microstructures. Also, it was found that the translucency for these dense bulks and films was caused by maintaining a nanopore network for 3D in bulks and films. The new optics application field of the new translucency was attempted, and using the unique nanostructure of nanopore network in 3D, various properties for bulk of zeolite materials and mesoporous materials were in detail evaluated for other new application fields (sensor, solar battery and catalyst and so on).
