A novel hybrid, water-based, sol-gel method was developed for the synthesis of functionalized silica with advanced adsorptive capacities towards heavy metal ions. The study employs the hyperbranched poly(ethylene imine) (HBPEI) as a reactive template for the synthesis of silica. The reaction was followed by FTIR, whereas the material was evaluated in terms of its microstructure and adsorptive properties. The results revealed a very potent adsorbent that can remove heavy metal ions (namely, Pb, Cu, and Zn) from water in a fast and efficient way. Greater selectivity was observed for lead, whereas the maximum adsorption capacities calculated from the Langmuir model were 833.3, 502.5, and 193.4 mg/g for lead, copper, and zinc, respectively.

To improve the tribological properties of bismaleimide (BMI) resin, silicon dioxide nanoparticles with imino and terminal functional amino groups were prepared through a sol–gel process to form a novel SiO2-NH2 hybrid. The as-prepared hybrid was then applied as a modifying agent for the BMI matrix to obtain SiO2-NH2/BMI composites. Compared to those of pure BMI resin, the volume wear rate and friction coefficient of the SiO2-NH2/BMI composites decreased significantly, while the wear mechanism changed from fatigue (BMI) to adhesive (SiO2-NH2/BMI) wear. This improvement in the tribological properties of the SiO2-NH2/BMI composites was attributed to the appropriate SiO2-NH2 added content, which endowed the BMI with excellent mechanical and thermal-resistant properties. Thus, the SiO2-NH2/BMI composites could resist the external load and excessive heat during the friction process.

ABSTRACTMesoporous silica powders have been synthesized starting from aqueous solutions of Si(OCH2CH3)4 (TEOS) under acidic conditions, using non-ionic alkyl poly(ethylene oxide) oligomer (Brij76) as a structure-directing agent. Template removal was performed by thermal treatment in air as well as by ethanol extraction. The annealing process (400 - 600°C) resulted in more efficient elimination of the organic molecules, thus yielding hexagonal (p6mm) mesopor-ous materials with pore volume and specific surface area ranging between 0.58 – 0.41 cm3/g and 900 – 700 m2/g, respectively. The systems were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), N2 BET adsorption, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Particular attention was focused on the evolution of the system mesostructural and porous features as a function of the template removal procedure. The obtained mesoporous networks are suitable as matrices for the development of nanocomposite systems in which the dispersion or the growth of various guest species (clusters, molecules…) can be addressed into the host mesopores.

In this study, an innovative polymer blend, based on double network (DN) approach, has been developed by integrating a poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) network into a chemically modified hyaluronic acid sodium salt (HAs) hydrogel matrix. Here, the HAs was chemically functionalized with photocrosslinkable moieties by reacting with maleic anhydride (MAA) to obtain a maleated hyaluronic acid (MaHA). Furthermore, nanocomposite DN hydrogels were suitably prepared by physical blending of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAp), obtained by sol-gel synthesis, within the hydrogel. Physico-chemical, thermal, morphological and mechanical analyses were performed. Results showed enhanced mechanical properties and a homogenous microstructure as highlighted by mechanical and morphological investigations. This suggests that nanocomposite DN hydrogels are promising candidates for biomedical applications.
