Hydroxyapatite gels and nanocrystals prepared through a sol-gel process

We have investigated the effect of the Ca/P molar ratio on the structural and morphological properties of hydroxyapatite (HA) gels and nanocrystals. The sol-gel process was carried out in aqueous, and alternatively in alcoholic medium (50% water-50% ethanol), at 37°C. Gel samples were obtained by drying the sols at 37°C or at 80°C, whereas powder samples were obtained by filtering the sols. Heat treatment at temperatures as low as 300°C is enough to obtain pure HA from the gels with a Ca/P molar ratio of 1.00 and 1.67. At variance, heat treatment of the gels with a Ca/P of 2.55 always produces secondary phases. The degree of crystallinity of HA increases with the Ca/P molar ratio of the sols, and it is slightly affected by the presence of ethanol in the precipitation medium. Filtering of the sols provides powders constituted of nanocrystalline HA that exhibit degree of crystallinity, crystal morphology and thermal stability closely related to the sols composition.     

Banana-shaped molecules peculiarly oriented in a magnetic field: (2)H NMR spectroscopy and quantum mechanical calculations.

The orientational properties of the banana-shaped liquid crystal 4-chloro-1,3-phenylenebis{4-[4'-(10-undecenyloxy)]benzoyloxy} benzoate (ClPbis11BB) are reported in the nematic phase under the effect of an external magnetic field. A new hypothesis, which states that the central ring of the aromatic core is oriented perpendicularly to the external magnetic field, is proposed. In support of this hypothesis, a series of studies based on (2)H NMR spectroscopy, both in the bulk and in solution, are discussed. (2)H NMR measurements on three selectively deuterium-labelled isotopomers are presented, together with DFT results from B3LYP/cc-pvDz calculations performed on the aromatic core. The rather flat shape of the investigated intramolecular energy surface allows for several different conformations to be populated, the computed magnetic susceptibilities of which are consistent with the proposed hypothesis of peculiar orientation of banana-shaped molecules. Moreover, the orientation of the magnetic susceptibility tensor is shown to be strongly dependent on the internal conformation of the banana-shaped molecules.     

Absorption and Capture of Methane into Ionic Liquid

A reversible storage-release process switched by a temperature difference of 10℃around room temperature can be realized. This fast, recyclable, energy efficient, low cost and green system within a wide range of temperature and pressure is reported here for the first time. The system is believed to open up a new route for the storage and homogeneous utilization of methane.

Sol-gel entrapment of monoclonal anti-atrazine antibodies

We report the successful doping of a sol-gel matrix with an antibody, retaining its ability to bind free antigen from an aqueous solution. The particular system described is monoclonal anti-atrazine mouse antibody which was entrapped in SiO₂ sol-gel matrices, prepared from tetramethoxysilane by several methods. Atrazine was selected as a model compound for this study, within the framework of the development of immunochemical-based methods for monitoring pesticide residues and other organo-synthetic environmental contaminants. Nanogram quantities of atrazine were applied on SiO₂ sol-gel columns doped with this antibody, and the amount of eluted antigen was determined by Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA). Under appropriate sol-gel-forming conditions, high amounts of atrazine were bound to the sol-gels, ranging between 60% and 91% of the amount applied to the column. The combination of the properties of the sol-gel matrix (e.g., stability, inertness, high porosity, high surface area and optical clarity), together with the selectivity and sensitivity of the antibodies, enable extension of this feasibility study to development of a novel group of immunosensors which could be used for purification, concentration and monitoring of a variety of residues from different sources.Contribution from the Agricultural Research Organization (ARO), Bet Dagan, Israel.

Fe／ZrO_2气凝胶超细粒子催化剂的制备、表征及F－T反应性能的研究

用超临界流体干燥法制备出大孔高比表面高分散态Ｆｅ／ＺｒＯ_２气凝胶超细粒子催化剂，研究了在其制备过程中织构性质、颗粒大小、体相和表面结构的变化，并与普通浸渍法制备的Ｆｅ／ＺｒＯ_２催化剂作了对比。对几种Ｆｅ／ＺｒＯ_２催化剂的Ｆ－Ｔ反应性能考察表明，Ｆｅ／ＺｅＯ_２气凝胶超细催化剂显示出高的反应活性；随载体ＺｒＯ_２颗粒尺寸减小，活性组分铁的分散度变大，其颗粒尺寸变小，催化剂比表面积增大，反应活性增大，甲烷和低碳烃生成量增加，重质组分减少，认为产物烃分布主要受催化剂活性相颗粒尺寸效应制约。
