Condensación aldólica catalizada por nanofibras aminadas de sílice electrohiladas

Abstract

This thesis covers the fabrication, functionalisation and testing of electrospun aminated silica nanofibres. An introduction and literature study in aldol condensation, sol-gel science, electrospinning, functionalisation and catalytic activity is given in chapter 1. The development of the different functionalisation methods, post-functionalisation, direct synthesis and coaxial electrospinning is studied in chapters 3, 4 and 5 respectively. The membrane testing in batch and continuous reactors is covered in chapters 6 and 7.
