Encapsulation of Organic Pigment Particles with Silica via Sol-Gel Process

This paper presented a novel preparation method of silica coated organic pigment. In this approach, the surfaces of the organic pigment were first orderly modified by poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC), then coated by silica via sol-gel process of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS).

Organic pigments coated silica by this approach could scatter UV ray with wavelength less than 270 nm, and this scattering property increased with more silica coated.     

Micropore to macropore structure-designed silicas with regulated condensation of silicic acid nanoparticles

A new preparation method for porous silica particles was developed using activated silica sols which are called nano-silica solutions in this paper. Several kinds of organic and inorganic acids are employed to neutralize diluted sodium silicate solutions to form the nano-silica solutions: formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, dl-malic acid, citric acid, and tricarballylic acid as carboxylic acids, and sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid as inorganic acids. The effect of salts in the nano-silica solution is also studied. The products were investigated using a field emission scanning electron microscope, an X-ray diffractometer, the nitrogen adsorption technique, and a mercury porosimeter. Microporous silicas were produced when carboxylic acids were applied; the formation of micropores was influenced by the pH of the nano-silica solutions and molecular sizes of the carboxylic acids. Addition of a salt in a citric acid solution increased the mesopore volume. Macropores were formed when inorganic acids including salts were applied; the salt nanoparticles which were crystallized in silica spheres acted as templates. The anion types and salt concentrations in the nano-silica solutions affected the aggregation condition of silica nanoparticles, following the Schulze-Hardy rule.

Organic pigment particles coated with titania via sol-gel process

This paper presented a novel method for the organic pigment coated with titania to improve the weatherability and dispersion ability in waterborne system. The organic pigment was first orderly adsorbed by two kinds of electrolyte: poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC), then coated by titania via sol-gel process from titanium n-butoxide (TBOT). The effects of the numbers of polyelectrolyte layer, water content, and TBOT content on the morphology, particle size, surface element composition, porosity and pore size, thermal stability, and UV shielding property of the organic pigment were systematically investigated. It was found that only two layers of electrolyte adsorption and one-step coating of titania could obviously enhance the UV shielding property even thermal stability of the organic pigment. The thickness of the titania layer could be easily tailored by TBOT content.     

Synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-grafted colloidal silica particles with improved stability in aqueous solvents

The known grafting procedures of colloidal silica particles with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) lead to grafting layers that detach from the silica surface and dissolve in water within a few days. We present a new grafting procedure of PEG onto silica with a significant improvement of the stability of the grafting layers in aqueous solvents. Moreover, the procedure avoids any dry states or other circumstances leading to strong aggregation of the particles. To achieve the improved water stability, St?ber silica particles are first pre-coated with a silane coupling agent (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APS) to incorporate active amine groups. The water solubility of the pre-coating layer was minimized using a combination of APS with bis-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)amine (BTMOSPA) or bis-(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTEOSE). These pre-coated particles were then reacted with N-succinimidyl ester of mono-methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) carboxylic acid to form PEG-grafted silica particles. The particles form stable dispersions in aqueous solutions as well as several organic solvents.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Hydrolytic Degradation of Polylactide/Poly(ethylene glycol)/Nano-silica Composite Films

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/PEG/nano-silica composite degradable films have been prepared by solvent casting method. IR measurements showed that vibration of C–O–C group was confined by silica network. SEM results showed that nano-silica particles were dispersed uniformly in the PLA/PEG matrix. TGA results indicated that the thermal decomposition temperature rose with the increase of nano-silica content. The tensile strength of composite film increased by the addition of nano-silica particles into PLA/PEG matrix. The degradation rate of PLA/PEG/nano-silica composites increased with the acidic medium of degradation. On the other hand, the slower degradation was obtained in the neutral buffer solution. PLA/PEG/nano-silica composites were found to exhibit almost similar degradation behavior as that of PLA/PEG films.     

Microstructured layers of spherical biofunctional core-shell nanoparticles provide enlarged reactive surfaces for protein microarrays

Nanostructured core-shell particles with tailor-made affinity surfaces were used to generate microstructured affinity surfaces by microspotting the particles to form densely packed amorphous nanoparticle layers. These layers provided a large reactive surface for the specific binding of protein ligands from aqueous solution. Biofunctional core-shell particles were synthesized for this purpose that consisted of a silica core with a diameter of 100 nm and an organic shell a few nm thick. The nanoparticle core was prepared by sol-gel chemistry and the shell formed in suspension by organosilane chemistry. The shell provided amino groups or carbonyl groups at its outer surface for subsequent covalent immobilization of streptavidin, rabbit IgG antibodies or goat IgG antibodies. AlexaFluor 647-conjugated and biotinylated cytochrome C and CyDye-labeled anti-rabbit IgG and anti-goat IgG were probed as model analytes. The core-shell nanoparticles were spotted using a pin-ring micro-arrayer onto microscope glass slides that were coated with a polycation monolayer by dip-coating prior to nanoparticle deposition. Amorphous particle layers of well-defined thicknesses in the range of 100 nm to 2 microm were obtained by printing aqueous particle suspensions containing 5-500 mg/mL (0.5-50 wt%) of silica particles. The specific affinity of the plotted nanoparticulate capture surface was demonstrated by binding Cy3-labeled donkey anti-rabbit IgG and Cy5-labeled mouse anti-goat IgG to immobilized rabbit IgG and goat IgG particles. The signal intensity per spot increased for any given analyte concentration when the amount of particles per spot was augmented. This was attributed to the increasing integration of receptor molecules per surface footprint, which shifted the binding equilibrium towards the formation of the receptor-ligand complex. Additionally, the locally-increased supply of receptor molecules at the nanoparticulate microchip surface resulted in a wide dynamic range of 4 fM-20 nM (covering six orders of magnitude).     

Investigation of the thermal behavior of new silica-polymer anion exchangers

The thermal properties of new anion exchangers consisting of silica core and organic layers grafted onto their surface were evaluated by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The anion exchangers were prepared by chemical modification of bare silica gel. The support was coated with polymeric layers formed by condensation polymerization of primary amines with diepoxides. Synthesized copolymers of methylamine and 1,4-butanedioldiglycidyl ether have a dendrimer structure. By TG/FTIR/MS, it was observed that silica-layered materials exhibited two stages of mass loss: first with T _max1 160 °C, connected with desorption of water molecules from the adsorbents surface, and then with T _max2 390 °C, connected with degradation of organic layers.     

Synthesis,characterization, and hydrolytic degradation of polylactide/poly(ϵ-caprolactone)/nano-silica composites

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL)/nano-silica composite degradable films were prepared by a solvent casting method. SEM results showed that the nano-silica particles were dispersed uniformly in the PLA/PCL matrix. TGA results indicated that the thermal decomposition temperature rose with the increase of nano-silica content. The tensile strength of the composites was enhanced with the increase of nano-silica content up to 2%. The tensile strength increased with the silica content and reached its maximum (22.51 Mpa). The improvement in the water uptake ratio in the PLA/PCL/silica nanocomposites may be attributable to the presence of silica nanoparticles in the PLA/PCL matrix. After 15 weeks total processing time for the solution of alkaline and phosphate buffer, the performances of 16.23% and 3.65% for degradation.     

Protection of organic pigments against photocatalysis by encapsulation

A model organic pigment (β copper phthalocyanine) was encapsulated by silica using water glass as a precursor. It is shown that the thickness, porosity and uniformity of silica shells (coatings) around individual pigment particles depend significantly on pH and temperature of synthesis. It is further demonstrated that the obtained silica shells can serve as an efficient protection against the highly reactive products of photocatalysis. The degree of protection depends not only on the thickness of silica shells but also on their porosity.
