A novel open-tubular CEC column coated with chitosan-graft-(β-CD) (CDCS) was prepared using sol-gel technique. In the sol-gel approach, owing to the 3D network of sol-gel and the strong chemical bond between the stationary phase and the surface of capillary columns, good chromatographic characteristics and unique selectivity in separating isomers were shown. The column efficiencies of 55,000∼16...

Microencapsulation has become a hot topic in chemical research. Technology mainly used for control release and protection purposes. The sol-gel micro encapsulation approach for fragrance and aroma in porous silica-based materials leads to sustainable odorant and flavored materials with novel and unique beneficial properties. Sol-gel encapsulation of silica based micro particles considered econo...

to improve the corrosion protection of copper metal, 0.01m concentration of 1h-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (tat) was incorporated into the hybrid sol-gel monolayers containing 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (gptms) and tetraethoxysilane (teos). it was further subjected to hydrolysis and condensation reaction to form a sol-gel matrix. the tat-doped hybrid sol-gel coating was applied over the coppe...

Light transducing phycobiliproteins are encapsulated in optically transparent sol-gel matrices. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies are used to characterize the effect of the sol-gel encapsulation on the conformation and aggregation states of the three major phycobiliproteins present in phycobilisomes: phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, and allophycocyanin. It is found that the effects of sol-g...

This study describes a new means to conduct molecular recognition-based analysis using mass spectrometry. Taking advantage of the unique characteristic of the absorption capacity of the TiO(2) sol-gel material in the UV region, a TiO(2) sol-gel-deposited thin film was employed as the sample substrate to assist in UV laser desorption/ionization of analytes. Sol-gels are polymeric materials that ...

A glass-chip-based sample preparation method for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric (MALDI-MS) analysis of tryptic digests of proteins and intact cells is described. A MALDI matrix, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB), was hybridized with sol-gels to generate a sol-gel-derived material. Taking advantage of the characteristics of sol-gels, the sol-gel-derived material...
