Cage-like ordered mesoporous silica, FDU-1, with about twice the pore volume and a narrower pore size distribution compared with those for previously reported samples was synthesized in a much shorter time by doubling the amount of block copolymer, adding sodium chloride and lowering the acid concentration.

A novel shape-stabilized phase change material was successfully prepared using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as (PCM) and mesoporous carbon FDU-15 support via the melting impregnation method. The structural thermal properties of materials were measured by TEM, SEM, XRD, FT-IR, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms DSC, respectively. maximum loading PEG/FDU-15 reaches up to 75 wt%, corresponding ...

Ordered mesoporous carbons have recently been in significant attention because of their unique hexagonal structure, tunable large pore volumes, high thermal stability, and surface-to-volume ratio. In this research paper, for achieving the maximum compatibility between FDU-15 poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550) was used as a modifying coupling agent to facilit...

1. 1. Well-ordered Mesoporous Materials FSM-16 and M41S materials with regularly ordered mesopore arrangements and narrow pore-size distributions were fi rst described in the early 1990s1),2), and the mesostructures of silica and various metal oxides have since attracted much attention from chemists and materials scientists because of emerging applications in catalysis, adsorption, sensors, and...

Background Resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy is a clinical challenge in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC) and limits survival. Therefore, innovative drugs against platinum-resistance are urgently needed. Our therapeutic concept is based on the conjugation of two chemotherapeutic compounds to a monotherapeutic pro-drug, which is taken up by cancer cells and cleaved into active cytosta...

BACKGROUND 5-Fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (5-FdU), a drug against gastric cancer, was covalently linked via its nucleobase with the amino-bisphosphonate alendronate (Ale), resulting in a new antimetabolite-bisphosphonate conjugate (5-FdU-Ale), designed for bone-targeting. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cytostatic effect of 5-FdU-Ale was evaluated in vitro compared to monomers and mixtures using CASY Tec...
