Inventors:Marquez-Sanchez M, Larsen G, Akashe A, Vu D, Gill RS Patent Title: Molecular imprinting of solute on cellulose/silica composite, and products and uses thereof Publication date:2006 Publication number: US7122122 Abstract: A cellulose/silica composite useful as a filter material is highly selective towards a solute that has been molecularly imprinted upon an inorganic gel coating formed on the cellulose. The filter material provides dual filtering functionality, as both a selective molecular sieve and as a particulate filter. A unique method for making the filter material is also set forth that imparts these attributes and performance capabilities. URL: http://v3.espacenet.com/textdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=US2005016923&F=0
