Orientation-Controlled Monolayer Assembly of Zeolite Crystals on Glass and Mica by Covalent Linkage of Surface-Bound Epoxide and Amine Groups

Aligned zeolite monolayers, with high surface coverage and perfect one-dimensional (single-face) alignment (see picture), are bound to glass and mica through covalent linkages. The links arise from independently prepared surface-bound functional groups (epoxides and amines).
