AbstractUsing both β-diketone and malonamide organosilane derivatives and silica Si-HIPE macro-mesocellular foams (acronym refers to the High Internal Phase Emulsion process), organically modified silicates (ORMOSILs) with chelating functionality have been synthesized. The organic functionalities have been anchored to the silica porous networks by both a two-steps grafting method, relating to grafted gOrgano-Si(HIPE), and a one-step co-condensation process, relating to Organo-Si(HIPE). The loading of monoliths by lanthanides was performed by impregnation of an europium (III) salt in solution, leading to a new Eu3+@(g)Organo-Si(HIPE) hybrid foams series. The resulting materials have been thoroughly characterized via a large set of techniques such as SEM, TEM, SAXS, mercury intrusion porosimetry, nitrogen adsorption, FTIR and 29Si CP MAS NMR. Luminescence behavior of this Eu3+@Organo-Si(HIPE) series was also studied and the effects of environment and europium concentration will be discussed.

Concurrent synthesis of titania-carbon nanoparticles (up to 52 wt.% in C) was studied in a diffusion flame aerosol reactor by combustion of titanium tetraisopropoxide and acetylene. These graphitically layered carbon-coated titania particles were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), with elemental mapping of C and Ti, x-ray diffraction (XRD), and nitrogen adsorption [Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET)]. The specific surface area of the powder was controlled by the acetylene flow rate from 29 to 62 m2/g as the rutile content decreased from 68 to 17 wt.%. Light blue titania suboxides formed at low acetylene flow rates. The average XRD crystal size of TiO2 decreased steadily with increasing carbon content of the composite powders, while the average BET primary particle size calculated from nitrogen adsorption decreased first and then approached a constant value. The latter is attributed to the formation of individual carbon particles next to carbon-coated titania particles as observed by HRTEM and electron spectroscopic imaging.

AbstractThe synthesis of maghemite nanoparticles coated with triethoxysilanemonomethylether- PEG (Si-mPEG), is presented in aqueous conditions, by the “grafting to” process. This procedure is performed in one step, starting from anchored polymer and native nanoparticles. The maghemite nanoparticles obtained were first identified by XRD and the average diameter is about 10 nm according to the Nitrogen adsorption, XRD and TEM techniques. The nature of the catalysts (acetic acid, triethylamine, NH4OH and dibutyl-tin-dilaurate) used for the establishment of the covalent bond between the γ-Fe2O3 particles and the SimPEG, as well as the influence of the temperature and the reaction time, were evaluated on the grafting rate of the particles in water by TGA and FTIR techniques. Using the size exclusion chromatography, SEC technique, we showed that the monomethoxy-PEG was resistant to mild acidic up to strong basic conditions. The best ratio “time/amount of polymer” for the highest grafting rate was the use of tinbased organometallic compound (DBTL) at 80 °C during 48 h. In these conditions, a grafting rate of 54 % is achieved.

The mesoporous silica particles were prepared by the sol?gel method in one-step synthesis, in acidic conditions, from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), varying the mole ratio of the silica precursors. Nitric acid was used as catalyst at room temperature and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as structure directing agent. Optical properties, porosity and microstructure of the materials in function of the MTES/TEOS ratio were evaluated using infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption and small angle X-ray scattering. All materials showed the ordered pore structure and the high specific surfaces, making them suitable as the drug delivery systems. Drug loading and release tests using ketoprofen were performed to assess their performance for drug delivery applications. The amount of the methylated precursor used in the synthesis had little effect on the drug loading capacity, but had a strong influence on the initial rate of the drug release.
