Advanced functional porous materials : from macro to nano scale lengths This book presents synthesis characterization and applications of macroporous mesoporous nanoporous hierarchical porous porous metals and porous ceramics. Special emphasis is given to the preparation of porous activated carbon materials and porous ionic liquid derived materials for CO2 emissions mitigation. Additionally a chapter includes the physical and mathematical modeling in porous media. Many analytical techniques for characterization are discussed in this book. Also the biomedical and industrial applications of porous materials in adsorption catalysis biosensors drug delivery nanotechnology are described. The content helps solving fundamental and applied problems in porous materials with length scales varying from macro to nano level. .
