	abstract = {<p>The encapsulation of gold nanoparticles 8-12nm in size within a porous Ti-SiO2 shell to form a core-shell nanoarchitecture was investigated, and the catalytic activity of the resulting structure was probed. Detailed characterization of the synthesized materials shows that the core-shell morphology is lost beyond a certain amount of incorporated titanium, and results in normal gold-supported Ti-SiO2. The material has a high surface area (913m(2)g(-1)) and high porosity, both of which make it an excellent choice for catalytic applications. With the optimum amount of incorporated Ti, the core-shell catalyst shows excellent room-temperature CO oxidation activity over several cycles with retention of its morphology at higher temperatures.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Aluminosilicate spheres with a macroporous core and mesoporous shell (Si/Al ratio of 11) is synthesised by a sol-gel method utilizing cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a structure directing agent in basic medium. The selective incorporation of aluminium in the silica matrix results in the formation of aluminosilicates with an overall acidity of 0.32mmol/g with interconnected pores. Direct N-alkylation reaction is a prototype of C-N bond formation reaction and meso- macroporous aluminosilicate is shown to catalyze this reaction with excellent yield. The catalyst is tested and found sustainable for five catalytic cycles even without any high temperature regeneration step.</p>},
