“…Monoliths display great potential as versatile functional material for applications such as separation media (Urban, Svec, & Fréchet, 2010a, 2010b, enzyme immobilization (Benčina, Benčina,Štrancar, & Podgornik, 2005;Kato, Inuzuka, Sakai-Kato, & Toyo'oka, 2005;Pierre et al, 2006;Svec, 2006), chromatography (Urban et al, 2010b), ion-exchange (Lubbad, Bandari, & Buchmeiser, 2011;Nandi, Okada, & Uyama, 2011), and catalysis (Kočí et al, 2007;Tomašić, 2007). These applications rely on the unique properties of monoliths, such as their high permeability, high stability, and ease of chemical modification.…”
