(PhysOrg.com) -- Michael Tsapatsis and colleagues at the University of Minnesota have devised a means for overcoming the problem of grouping that occurs during the exfoliation stage when producing zeolites which results in deformed structures in the framework which then leads to holes in the material that are larger than the pores needed to capture whatever is being filtered. The team has published its results in Science.
