Integration of Silica Aerogels in Microfluidic Chips
This paper reports a method to integrate silica aerogels monolithically in microfluidic chips. Silica Aerogel is a highly porous bulk material. The gel was synthesized from tetraethyl orthosilicate by a sol-gel process. Polyethylene glycol and an extended aging period were used to strengthen the matrix minimizing gel shrinkage. This technique allows alcogel structures with high strength and sti...
متن کاملCharacterization of Mechanical Properties of Silica Aerogels
Silica aerogels are nanoporous ultralight new materials with extraordinary material properties. In this study, the mechanical properties of silica aerogels, e.g. Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and constitutive relation, are investigated using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and theoretical analysis. In molecular dynamics simulations, an improved process of negative pressure rupturing meth...
متن کاملCalorimetric study of phase transitions for octylphenylthiolpentyloxybenzoate in silica aerogels
An a.c. calorimetric study has been carried out on octylphenylthiolpentyloxybenzoate (8ÂS5) in three silica aerogels with mass densities r=0 0́8, 0 1́7 and 0 3́6 g cm Õ 3 . Results for the least porous aerogel (r=0 3́6) are completely consistent with those reported previously for 8CB in the same aerogel. Freezing of 8ÂS5 damaged the more porous r=0 0́8 and 0 1́7 aerogels by creating internal voids an...
متن کاملAqueous electrolytes confined within functionalized silica nanopores.
Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate structural and dynamical characteristics of NaCl aqueous solutions confined within silica nanopores in contact with a "bulk-like" reservoir. Two types of pores, with diameters intermediate between 20 Å and 37.5 Å, were investigated: The first one corresponded to hydrophobic cavities, in which the prevailing wall-solution intera...
متن کاملProton quantum coherence observed in water confined in silica nanopores.
Deep inelastic neutron scattering measurements of water confined in nanoporous xerogel powders, with average pore diameters of 24 and 82 A, have been carried out for pore fillings ranging from 76% to nearly full coverage. DINS measurements provide direct information on the momentum distribution n(p) of protons, probing the local structure of the molecular system. The observed scattering is inte...
