The novelty of this study resides in the fabrication of stoichiometric and stress-reduced $Si_3N_4/SiO_2/Si_3N_4$ triple-layer membrane sieves. The membrane sieves were designed to be very flat and thin, mechanically stress-reduced, and stable in their electrical and chemical properties. All insulating materials are deposited stoichiometrically by a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition system. The membranes with a thickness of 0.4 ${\mu}m$ have pores with a diameter of about 1 ${\mu}m$. The device is fabricated on a 6" silicon wafer with the semiconductor processes. We utilized the membrane sieves for plasma separations from human whole blood. To enhance the separation ability of blood plasma, an agarose gel matrix was attached to the membrane sieves. We could separate about 1 ${\mu}L$ of blood plasma from 5 ${\mu}L$ of human whole blood. Our device can be used in the cell-based biosensors or analysis systems in analytical chemistry.

Al-MCM-48 molecular sieves (Si/Al = 25, 50, 75 and 100) were synthesized hydrothermally using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as the structure directing template. The orderly arrangement of mesopores was evident from the low angle X-ray diffraction patterns and TEM images. The catalytic performance was evaluated in the vapour phase isopropylation of phenol with isopropyl acetate. Phenol conversion decreased with increase in the Si/Al ratio of the catalysts. The major reaction product was 4-isopropyl phenol (selectivity: 78%). Delocalization of phenolic oxygen electron pair over the aromatic ring promoted para-selective alkylation. Such delocalization could be aided by the hydrophilic surface of the molecular sieves. Though ester was used as the alkylating agent, phenyl isopropyl ether was not formed

The incorporation of cobalt into mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 and MCM-48 was carried out. Co-PO/MCM41 and Co-PO/MCM48 were prepared using Co(II) acetate solution adjusted to pH = 3.0 with phosphoric acid by the incipient wetness method. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) was used to study the local environments of Co(II) incorporated into mesopores. The band around 500 nm in PAS of as-prepared Co-PO/MCM41 and Co-PO/MCM48 with Co(II) acetate solution was changed to triplet bands around 600 nm. This could be assigned to the 4 A2(F)-> 4T1(P) transition of Co(II) surrounded tetrahedrally by oxygen ions after calcination. It may be attributable to that the octahedral cobalt species containing phosphate ligands in coordination sphere reacting with framework's silanol groups to be dispersed atomically onto the surface of mesoporous molecular sieves as a tetrahedral species. This is unlike that the Co in Co-Cl/MCM41 and direct-synthesized Co-MCM41 transforms to Co oxide phase upon calcination. Co-PO/MCM41 and Co-PO/MCM48 were stable while treated with water.

The immobilization of APTMS(3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxysilane) and AAPTMS(3-(2-(2-aminoethyl)aminoethylanino)propyltrimethoxysilane) on the surface of high quality mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 and MCM-48 have been confirmed by F.T.-IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, 29Si solid state NMR, and a surface polarity measurement using Reichardt's dye. The formation of metal (Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), and Cu(Ⅱ)) complexes by immobilized aminosilanes have been investigated by photoacoustic spectroscopy(PAS). The assignment of UV-Vis. PAS bands makes it possible to identify the structure of metal complexes within mesoporous molecular sieves. Co(Ⅱ) ion may be coordinated mainly in a tetrahedral symmetry by two APTMS onto MCM-41, and in an octahedral one by two AAPTMS. Both Ni(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) coordinated by aminosilanes within MCM-41 form possibly the octahedral complexes such as [Ni(APTMS)2(H20)2]2+, [Ni(AAPTMS)2]2+, [Cu(APTMS)2(H2O)2]2+, and [Cu(AAPTMS)(H2O)3]2+, respectively. The PAS band shapes of complexes onto MCM-48 are similar to those of corresponding MCM-41 with the variation of PAS intensity. Most of metal ion(Ⅱ) within MCM-41 and MCM-48 are coordinated by aminosilanes without the impregnation on the surface.

Aluminum containing mesoporous molecular sieves Al-SBA-1 ($n_{Si}/n_{Al}$= 2, 5, 10, 15) was synthesized with a one-step method, and the catalyst was characterized with powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Finally, we studied the catalytic activities of Al-SBA-1 molecular sieves in Pechmann reaction of 3-methoxyphenol and Ethyl acetoacetate to get 7-methoxy-4-methyl coumarin. Four parameters reaction temperature, time, catalyst weight and reactants ratio were optimized.

In this study, NO reduction behaviors of copper-loaded mesoporous molecular sieves (Cu/MCM-41) have been investigated. The Cu loading on MCM-41 surfaces was accomplished by a chemical reduction method with different Cu contents (5, 10, 20, and 40%). $N_2/77$ K adsorption isotherm characteristics, including the specific surface area and pore volume, were studied by BET's equation. NO reduction behaviors were confirmed by a gas chromatography. From the experimental results, the Cu loading amount on MCM-41 led to the increase of NO reduction efficiency in spite of decreasing the specific surface area of catalysts. This result indicates that highly ordered porous structure in the MCM-41 and the presence of active metal particles lead the synergistical NO reduction reactions due to the increase in adsorption energy of MCM-41 surfaces by the Cu particles.

Diacylglycerol (DAG) were synthesized by enzymatic esterification of glyceryl monooleate (GMO) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in a shaking water bath. The reaction was catalyzed by Lipozyme TLIM (immobilized lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosa). Effects of reaction time, molar ratio, enzyme road and molecular sieves were studied. Results of normal-phase high performance liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC) analysis were performed. At 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 (GMO : CLA) molar ratio and Lipozyme TLIM of 20% amount, DAG were produced in 42.6, 54.4 and 54.6 area% in 1 hr, respectively. When different Lipozyme TLIM amounts (2, 5, 10, 20%) were used with 2:1 (GMO : CLA) molar ratio, DAG were produced 21.4 (24 hr), 51.7 (12 hr), 56.2 (6 hr) and 54.4 (1 hr) area%, respectively. The reaction in the absence of molecular sieves increased DAG contents. The maximum DAG concentration conditions were obtained with molar ratio of 2:1 (GMO : CLA), lipase concentration of 10% (of substrate), 10% molecular sieves and reaction time of 6 hours at 55$^{\circ}C$. Under this reaction condition, produced DAG-rich oil was composed of 69 area% DAG, 7.9 area% TAG, 2 area% FFA, and 21.1 area% MAG.

Mesoporous molecular sieves were prepared by the reaction of $Na_2SiO_3$ and $H_2SiF_6$ using nonionic micelle templates in an aqueous solution. Well-crystalline mesoporous molecular sieves were obtained after several seconds at atmospheric conditions. Powder samples exhibited d-spacing of 3.8-5.1 nm with the sharpness of the d00l peak, showing well-crystalline mesoporous molecular sieves, pore size distributions of 2.5-3.1 nm and large specific surface areas of $290-1,018m^2/g$, depending on types of surfactants. SEM images of samples showed well-divided spherical particles with an uniform size of ${\sim}0.5{\mu}m$ and TEM images demonstrated uniform pores with a worm hole shape.
