The mechanical properties of hybrid framework materials, including both nanoporous metal–
organic frameworks (MOFs) and dense inorganic–organic frameworks, are discussed in this …

Numerous pieces of evidence in the literature suggest that zeolitic materials exhibit
significant intrinsic flexibility as a consequence of the spring-like behavior of Si–O and Al–O …

Molecules adsorbed in pores cause elastic deformations of the solid matrix leading to either
contraction or swelling of the material. Although experimental manifestation of adsorption …

Zeolite-A was synthesized from kaolin activated at 500° C at relatively lower temperature
than the studies reported in the literature. The metakaolin formed at 500° C was used to …

This is a review of the elastic behaviour and pressure (P)-induced structural evolution of
zeolites and presents a comparative analysis of the deformation mechanisms of the Si/Al …

Empty spaces are abhorred by nature, which immediately rushes in to fill the void. Humans
have learnt pretty well how to make ordered empty nanocontainers, and to get useful …

The elastic behaviour and the structural evolution of microporous materials compressed
hydrostatically in a pressure-transmitting fluid are drastically affected by the potential crystal …

High-pressure synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction measurements of a sample of purely
siliceous zeolite Y (faujasite) were carried out up to 8.0 GPa at room temperature using a …

An understanding of pressure–temperature phase relations is needed for developing new
methods for the synthesis of advanced solids.[1–3] In comparison to thermal treatments, the …

This is a comparative study on lattice compressibility, pressure (P)-induced structural
deformation mechanisms and influence of the framework and extra-framework content on …
