A new crystalline molecular sieve designated SSZ-95 is disclosed. In general, SSZ-95 is synthesized from a reaction mixture suitable for synthesizing MTT-type molecular sieves and maintaining the mixture under crystallization conditions sufficient to form product. The product molecular sieve is subjected to a pre-calcination step, and ion-exchange to remove extra-framework cations, and a post-calcination step. The molecular sieve has a MTT-type framework and a H-D exchangeable acid site density of 0 to 50% relative to molecular sieve SSZ-32.

A separation medium for use in the separation of analytes from a feed stream containing suspended solids, processes of separation using the separation medium, and the use of the separation medium to separate analytes from a feed stream containing suspended solids. The separation medium is provided as a hydrogel having a structure whose surfaces are defined by a triply periodic minimal surface, the hydrogel comprising at least one ligand that binds at least one target analyte.

Amino-rich anionic mesoporous silica (AMS) nanoparticles prepared through adding two different types of co-structuring directing agent (CSDA) molecules, thus increasing the amino amount within the AMS together with preserving ordered porous structure. Further boosting of amino amount can be accomplished through linking three different CSDA molecules together. Amino-functionalized mesoporous silica can be obtained with high amino amounts with linking either double or triple CSDA molecules while preserving ordered mesoporous structure and high textural properties.

A mesosilicalite nanocarrier having a hierarchical silicalite characterized by a molar ratio of aluminum to silica in a range of 1:3000 to 1:1000. The hierarchical silicalite includes mesopores of a hexagonal structure, and micropores of silicalite structure with a microporous volume in the range of 0.05 cc/g to 0.1 cc/g. The nanocarrier has a mesophase content in the range of 30 wt % to 70 wt %, a microphase content in the range of 30 wt % to 70 wt %, and a mean pore diameter in the range of 1.5 nm to 5.5 nm. A method of preparing the stable mesosilicalite nanocarrier with hierarchical micro/mesopores to load an antioxidant or drug for targeted drug delivery is also described.

A novel process is described for the preparation of a microporous crystalline solid, known as IZM-2 microporous solid or IZM-2 zeolite. This novel process consists of carrying out the synthesis of IZM-2 zeolite by conversion/transformation of a zeolite with structure type FAU under hydrothermal conditions. In particular, said novel process consists of carrying out the synthesis of an IZM-2 zeolite starting from a zeolite with structure type FAU used as the source of silicon and aluminium and a specific organic molecule or template comprising two quaternary ammonium functions, namely 1,6-bis(methylpiperidinium)hexane dibromide.
