The zeolite synthesis experiment provides hands-on experience for students to integrate basic concepts of reaction engineering, organic chemistry, transport phenomena, and thermodynamics into nanomaterial synthesis. This project also requires students to demonstrate their creativity and innovation through the experimental design and implementation of a nanostructured material synthesis.
