Synthesis of large pore-diameter SBA-15 mesostructured spherical silica and its application in ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography

Adsorption and wetting characterization of hydrophobic SBA-15 silicas

“…For these reasons, SBA-15 has received great attention in surface and materials sciences with its prominent applications in nanocomposites, catalysis, and separations [2]. For certain applications, including enzyme immobilization [3], drug release [4], adsorption of vapors [5], and chromatographic stationary phases [6,7] hydrophobic surfaces are needed; this requires surface functionalization of hydrophilic bare SBA-15. The classical method of covalent functionalization of silicas includes grafting through reactions with organosilanes of the general formula R 4Àn SiX n (n = 1 À 3).…”

Toward the improvement in unsaturated alcohol selectivity during α,β-unsaturated aldehyde selective hydrogenation, using Zn as promoter of Pt

“…This interest arises from their exceptional textural properties such as a regular channel arrangement, a size of pores higher than in zeolites structures, and scalable from 2 to 30 nm, as well as the specific surface areas that can exceed 1000 m 2 g −1 for some classes of materials. The physicochemical characteristics of these materials allow then their use in varied areas such as catalysis [6], adsorption [7], separation [8], chromatography [9][10], and biochemistry as a carrier for enzyme immobilization [11] or drug release [12]. Mesoporous silicas consist in a frame of amorphous silica delimiting channels and/or wellordered cavities of regular sizes.…”

Atom transfer radical polymerization of diverse functional SBA-15 for selective separation of proteins

“…It has a more stable structure, more tolerant of a wider range of environments, greater resistance to organic solvents properties and has been explored extensively for the size selective immobilization and adsorption of large biomolecules [16,17]. However, an extra surface modification was usually needed to enhance the adsorption selectivity of biomolecules [18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”
