Porous zirconia and titania as packing materials for high-performance liquid chromatography
1990
Abstract Porous amorphous zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and titania (TiO 2 ) packings were synthesized as rigid microparticulate beads by means of a sol—gel process. Sufficient rigidity and desired mesoporosity of the ZrO 2 and TiO 2 particles were achieved only by a gel hardening process, followed by heat treatment. The mean pore diameter, p d , the specific surface area, a s , and the specific pore volume, ν p , were controlled by the heat treatment. Typical values were p d = 8 nm, a s = 80 m 2 /g and ν p = 0.23 ml/g. ZrO 2 - and TiO 2 -based revesed-phase packings were prepared by subjecting the native materials to a specific activation process and reaction with octadecyltrimethoxysilane. Native ZrO…
Finely Tuned Temperature-Controlled Cargo Release Using Paraffin-Capped Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles
2011
[EN] Trapped: Mesoporous silica nanoparticles were loaded with a fluorescent guest and functionalized with octadecyltrimethoxysilane. The alkyl chains interact with paraffins, which build a hydrophobic layer around the particle (see picture). Upon melting of the paraffin, the guest molecule is released, as demonstrated in cells for the guest doxorubicin. The release temperature can be tuned by choosing an appropriate paraffin.
