Monolithic Materials: Preparation, Properties and Applications /by F. Svec, T.B. Tennikova and Z. Deyl. Monolithic materials are a variety of shapes (discs, rolled sheets, tubes, irregular chunks) prepared from a wide variety of materials (cellulose, silica, synthetic polymers). During the past decade monolithic separation media have developed rapidly and become popular in many scientific fields. Although the current papers and patents concerned with monolithic separation media are quite numerous, the information is scattered throughout a vast number of journals. This book therefore fills the gap in the market for a comprehensive reference book on this subject.
