In this study, highly ordered mesoporous silica material (SBA-15) functionalized with Diethyl 2 - (9 -fluorenyl) malonate as a flourophore is reported. The anchoring of flourophores to the hydroxyl group on SBA-15 surface was done with post synthesis method. The obtained materials were characterized by small and wide angle X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, Fourier transform infrared ...

The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...

A post-synthesis deposition of vanadium silicalite-1 zeolite nanoparticles in the pores of SBA-15 results in a highly ordered hexagonal templated silica material with V-silicalite zeolitic plugs, giving rise to an increased crystallinity of the amorphous mesoporous walls.

The chiral selectivities were altered and high diastereo- and enantio-selectivities of the products were obtained in water medium without adding acid co-catalysts when a primary-tertiary diamine catalyst was immobilized on mesoporous SBA-15 to form a recyclable catalyst for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction of cyclohexanone with p-nitrobenzaldehyde.

A nitrogen ligand, i.e. 1,3-di-(o-aminophenoxy)-2-propyl propargyl ether (DPPE), has been synthesized and characterized. Magnetic mesoporous silica composite (MNP@SiO2-SBA) was obtained via embedding magnetite nano-particles (MNPs) between SBA-15 channels. DPPE palladium dichloride (MNP@SiO2-SBA-DPPE-Pd(II)) then prepared click chemistry fully The Hiyama reaction conditions including solvent, a...

The aim of this article is to review current knowledge related to the synthesis and characterization of sol gel-derived SBA-16 mesoporous silicas, as well as a review of the state of the art in this issue, to take stock of knowledge about current and future applications. The ease of the method of preparation, the orderly structure, size and shape of their pores and control, all these achievable...

The activity of Ni supported on mesoporous SBA-15, MCM-41, KIT-6, and a sol-gel prepared Ni/γAl2O3, for catalysing methane dry reforming was investigated. The chemical and physical characteristics of the catalysts before and after catalytic testing were investigated using X-Ray diffraction, X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy / Energy...

Large-pore three-dimensional (3D) mesoporous silicas are among the most interesting mesoporous materials discovered in recent years, and they have attracted much attention for potential applications requiring easily accessible, uniform, large pores. Examples of these are SBA-15 (p6mm) and SBA16 (Im3̄m), which have cylindricaland cage-type structures, respectively. It has been reported that hexag...

Development of quantitative theory of adsorption-induced deformation is important, e.g., for enhanced coalbed methane recovery by CO2 injection. It is also promising for the interpretation of experimental measurements of elastic properties of porous solids. We study deformation of mesoporous silica by n-pentane adsorption. The shape of experimental strain isotherms for this system differs from ...
