| Toxic environmental gases pose a growing threat, especially in industrial areas. In our laboratory, supramolecular chemistry and nanochemistry have been applied to create materials for a) sensing, b) separation, c) storage and d) benign fixation of gases. Smart materials and nanostructures from gases have also been prepared. Our progress will be presented in the following areas: 1. Specific/selective colorimetric sensors and sensing materials for CO2, NOX and SO2 gases for ecological monitoring. 2. Synthetic gas separating and storing materials, including self-assembling urethane polymers, synthetic nanotubes, nanocapsules and porous materials, based on reversible gas-receptor interactions. 3. Self-assembling 2D and 3D nanoscale architectures, formed upon gas fixation. |
