| Application: | Starbons: Cooking up Nanostructured Mesoporous Materials |
| Application: | Carbon, mesoporous can be used in the esterification of oleic acid and lauric acid for the formation of biofuels. It forms a composite with nanoscale zero valent iron particles for the removal of arsenic from groundwater. |
| Application: | It was used for a comparative study of the toxicity effects of various carbon nanoparticles on C57BL/6 mice. |

| General description: | Starbons™ are mesoporous carbons synthesized by the carbonization of expanded mesoporous starch at high temperatures. Amylose and amylopectin polymer chains in starch self assemble to form large mesoporous structures. Starbons™ exhibit tunable surface energies and high volume. It can be readily functionalized.Mesoporous carbon may have a hydrophilic pore surface and a BET surface area of 300m2/g. The mean particle size of this graphitized carbon is 5μm. |
