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...

sulfuric acid ([3-(3-silicapropyl)sulfanyl]propyl]ester (saspspe) is employed as a recyclable catalyst for the silylation of hydroxyl groups. a good range of primary, secondary alcohols and phenolic hydroxyl groups were effectively converted into their corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers with hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amounts of saspspe at room temperature with short rea...

A simple and rapid reversed-phase high-performance liquid-chromatographic method for the separation and determination of process-related impurities of celecoxib (CXB) in bulk drugs and pharmaceuticals was developed. The separation of impurities viz., 4-methylacetophenone (I), 1-(4-methylphenyl)-4,4,4-trifluorobutane-1,3-dione (II), 4-hydrazinobenzene sulfonamide (III) and a regio-specific isome...

The adhesion of Klebsormidium flaccidum, Stichococcus bacillaris and Chlorella cf. mirabilis, three strains of green microalgae isolated from biofilms on façade coatings were investigated in a parallel plate flow chamber. The model surfaces tested were glass slides, and -CH(3) (mediated by octadecyltrichlorosilane [OTS] and hexamethyldisilazane [HMDZ] modification) and -NH(2) (aminopropyltrieth...

We report on the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transformation of rubrene thin films. The crystallization of the organic thin films displays disk-like domains whose nucleation and growth follow phase transformation kinetics well-established for inorganic materials under certain time and temperature conditions. We understood that the crystallization of amorphous rubrene thin film shows site-satu...

in this research, different alcohols and phenols are subjected to the reaction with hmds in the presence of ionic liquid and silica-supported catalysts. silylation was accomplished under mild reaction conditions at room temperature in short reaction times and good to excellent yields.

Sulfuric acid ([3-(3-silicapropyl)sulfanyl]propyl]ester (SASPSPE) is employed as a recyclable catalyst for the silylation of hydroxyl groups. A good range of primary, secondary alcohols and phenolic hydroxyl groups were effectively converted into their corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers with hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amounts of SASPSPE at room temperature with short rea...

Pure silicon-carbon films and the doped with manganese or nickel were deposited on a copper foil by electrochemical method from methanol / hexamethyldisilazane solution. Scanning electron microscopy studies of showed complex structure due to presence three-dimensional agglomerates “leafy” structures. Raman spectroscopy that highly defective. The porosity study revealed all samples mostly contai...
