十二烷基苯磺酸钠改性的尿素和甲醛聚合杂化法合成氧化硅微球

本文在存在十二烷基苯磺酸钠时利用正硅酸乙酯水解液中尿素和甲醛的结晶性聚合反应合成得到了氧化硅微球。首次考察了尿素和甲醛的物质的量比、尿素和甲醛的总用量、正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)用量、酸用量、以及十二烷基苯磺酸钠用量对所得氧化硅微球结构和形貌特征的影响。适当选择这些用量范围可以得到结构稳定、分散均匀的氧化硅微球。在微球生长中尿素和甲醛的量不足时,其突出的结晶性聚合与氧化硅杂化反应进程相互影响,导致了氧化硅微球核壳结构的形成。酸用量增加使氧化硅微球的孔径分布从复杂的双峰转变成均匀的单峰。表面活性剂的使用使氧化硅微球的孔分布从0～80 nm范围内的连续分布转化成单一分布。这些结果对正硅酸乙酯水解液直接合成氧化硅微球方法的推广和应用具有重要指导意义。

Tailoring the porous hierarchy of titanium phosphates

First hierarchical titanium phosphate (TiPO) materials with multiple porosities of different lengths (meso-macroporous and meso-macro-macroporous) were synthesized by the self-formation process. The further tuning of the porous hierarchy by using the poly(ethylene oxide) surfactant technique was demonstrated. The macroporous structure (50-160 nm in size) of TiPO with mesoporous walls could be self-formed in the absence of any templatable agents, including surfactant molecules. On the basis of spontaneous structurization, the addition of a small quantity of nonionic poly(ethylene oxide) surfactant (e.g., 5%) led to an improvement in macroporosity in abundance and in regularity with a slight enlargement in macropore sizes to 80-250 nm. Interestingly, a secondary, larger macropore system with parallel channels 500-1000 nm in size was generated when the synthesis was performed with moderately increasing the content of surfactant (10%), giving rise to an unprecedented trimodal meso-macro-macroporous structure. A uniform three-dimensional co-continuous macroporous structure with accessible wormhole-like mesoporous walls was synthesized by using the higher content of surfactants. This is a direct demonstration of tailoring the porous hierarchy of different lengths integrated in one solid body by fine-tuning the self-formation process and the participation of surfactant. The synthesized hierarchical titanium phosphates possess interesting optical and acidic properties, which should be significant for large application potential from catalysis and separation to electrochromic devices, fuel cells, and bioactive materials.     

Molecularly imprinted macroporous monolithic materials for protein recognition

Synthetic materials that can specifically recognize proteins will find wide application in many fields.In this report,bovine serum albumin was chosen as the template protein.Acrylamide and N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide were employed as the functional and cross-linker monomers,respectively.Molecularly imprinted macroporous monolithic materials that can preferentially bind the template protein in an aqueous environment were prepared by combination of molecular imprinting technique and freezing/thawing preparation method.The resulted imprinted macroporous monolithic columns were evaluated by utilizing as stationary phase in high performance liquid chromatography and solid-phase extraction materials.The experimental results indicated that the imprinted macroporous monolithic column exhibited good recognition for template protein,as compared with the control protein(hemoglobin),whereas the non-imprinted polymer(prepared under the same conditions except without addition template protein) had no selective properties.     

Preparation of mesoporous/macroporous materials in highly concentrated emulsions based on cubic phases by a single-step method

A novel and simple single-step method for the preparation of meso/macroporous silica materials is described, which consists in templating in highly concentrated emulsions with a cubic liquid crystal in the continuous phase. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was solubilized in the aqueous continuous phase of highly concentrated emulsions stabilized by C(12)(EO)(8) and a PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymer nonionic surfactant, with a cubic liquid crystalline phase of the Fd3m type. The resulting silica materials were characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering, nitrogen sorption and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that a dual pore size distribution was obtained, consisting of mesopores in the nanometer range and macropores between 1 and 5 μm. These dual meso/macroporous silicas with bimodal pore size distribution can possess specific surface areas higher than 400 m(2)/g.     

Macroporous Polymers with Hierarchical Pore Structure from Emulsion Templates Stabilised by Both Particles and Surfactants

Inspired by natural porous materials, such as wood, bamboo and spongy bone consisting of individual structural units that are hierarchically arranged to optimise mechanical properties such as strength and toughness, synthetic macroporous polymers with enhanced physical properties were created by emulsion templating. Hierarchical poly(merised) high internal phase emulsions (HIPE) were created from HIPEs stabilised simultaneously by particles and a surfactant. In these HIPEs, surfactant stabilised and particle stabilised water droplets coexist, which upon polymerisation of the minority oil phase gives rise to macroporous polymers with a hierarchical pore structure. An improvement of the mechanical properties of our hierarchically structured macroporous polymers at equal porosity was observed, due to a more efficient packing of pores in a configuration that improves mechanical strength despite the presence of interconnecting pore throats. Moreover, the permeability of the hierarchically structured polyHIPEs are exceeding those measured for conventional polyHIPEs made from surfactant only stabilised HIPEs.

     

Porous Gels Made by Phase Separation: Recent Progress and Future Directions

Recent progress in the sol-gel science concerning the porous gels made by phase separation has been reviewed. Based on the principle and technique explored for monoliths, the material shape has been extended to a macroporous thick film and a macroporous gel in a confined space such as capillary, both of which are expected to find useful applications in the chromatography. The modifiable size range of the additional porosity within the micrometer-sized gel skeleton has been broadened from micropores by zeolite, mesopores by surfactant templates to macropores by intensive hydrothermal treatments. A detailed investigation of 3D interfacial structure in real space has been performed using the laser scanning confocal microscope, which enabled quantitative comparison of the structure with those of other phase-separating systems.     

Formation of Hierarchical Pore Structure in Silica Gel

By inducing a phase separation parallel to the sol-gel transition of alkoxy-derived silicate systems, gels with well-defined macroporous structure can be prepared. Depending on the post-gelation treatment such as aging and solvent exchange, the final pore structure in the nanometer range of dried and heat-treated gels exhibits a considerable variation. With an aim of completely controlling the hierarchical pore structure in the discrete size ranges of nanometers and micrometers, systematic experimental studies have been performed. The macroporous nature of the wet gels allows an efficient solvent exchange process compared with conventional gels only with mesopores. In addition, the surface chemistry of the wet gel skeleton affects the mesopore formation process by the solvent exchange to a great extent. The median size of mesopores larger than 5 nm can be controlled by adjusting the basic solvent exchange conditions such as pH value, temperature and bath ratio for any kind of macroporous silica gel. On the other hand, the control of pore volume independent of the mesopore size is possible only in the system incorporated with the micelle-forming surfactant. Some examples of the effects of controlled mesopores on the analytical performance of monolithic-type chromatographic columns are also presented.     

A Smart Glycol‐Directed Nanodevice from Rationally Designed Macroporous Materials

We have developed a smart nanodevice for the highly efficient and selective detection of glycoproteins. This polyfunctional device is fabricated through the rational functionalization of macroporous silica foam (MOSF) materials with a boron species (B‐MOSF) and amino groups (NH₂‐MOSF), and then the integration of MOSF, B‐MOSF and NH₂‐MOSF materials. In such a device, a macroporous structure with very large‐pore sizes (diameters≈100 nm) and high‐pore volumes (>0.65 cm³ g^?1) is advantageous to efficiently fasten the enzymatic reaction. The targeted specific glycopeptides of the products can be selectively isolated and enriched in B‐MOSF through the chemo‐affinity between boronic acid and glycol groups, while the non‐specific peptides are released to the solutions, or further purified by MOSF and NH₂‐MOSF, which have opposite charges. As a result, the protein digestion and glycol‐peptide isolation can be simultaneously achieved in the functionalized macroporous materials in one step, which is a great advantage compared to conventional multi‐procedure and time‐consuming techniques.     

Preparation of multilevel macroporous materials using natural plants as templates

A series of two-dimensionally (2D) ordered macroporous silica materials have been prepared by using eight natural plants as templates. The macroporous materials replicate the complicated morphologies of natural plants precisely, and retained the original pore shape of plants. Meanwhile, these macroporous materials showed roughly similar morphologies and pore structure by the same part of plants, while the distribution of macropore diameters is ca. 8–1,000 μm. It may provide a effective approach to prepare macroporous materials with different 2D pore and complicated morphologies. These 2D ordered macropore silica materials may have potentially application for tissue repairing and templates materials to produce other kinds of macropores or hierarchically porous materials.     

Silica-based powders and monoliths with bimodal pore systems
