Design of novel porous melamine-formaldehyde materials for molecular recognition
Thesis
(2011). Design of novel porous melamine-formaldehyde materials for molecular recognition

Porous materials have played a pivotal role in the hosting of guest species. They provide a good diffusion medium, display high surface area and often the pores are size specific and bear the correct functionality to enhance retention of analytes. Th...
