MCM (Mobil Composition of Matter)

MCM are customisable mesoporous silica, with uniform cylindrical pores in either a hexagonal arrangement (MCM-41) or cubic arrangement (MCM-48). Pore sizes can be adjusted to be from 20A to 500A lending these materials has a high surface area and large pore volume, perfect for loading large molecules such as proteins, or metals for catalysis, which may not be able to enter smaller pores of zeolites or other mesoporous silica. Additionally, MCM can be functionalised with amine groups, thiols, doped with aluminium and their hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity can be tuned by addition of silanol groups.

Glantreo has vast knowledge in the manufacture of Mesoporous Silica (MS). For almost 5 years we have supplied large quantities (up to kg quantites) of Mesoporous Silica to our Researcher and Industry partners.

In addition to the raw and functionalised materials we also offer all variations in pelletised formats. The pellets are available in 2mm x 5mm. Please enquire to discuss your requirements in more detail.
