Ga-SBA-3 A novel nanostructured material: synthesis, characterization and application.

This paper reports for the first time the incorporation of gallium into the structure of the mesoporous SBA-3 material in order to modify the intrinsic acidity of the material. The study indicates the effective incorporation of Ga into a network in tetrahedral form, with most in the interior of the lodging and a low proportion on the external surface. Gallium was introduced via post-synthesis using Ga-nitrate in appropriate conditions.

Nanostructured SBA-15 host applied in ketorolac tromethamine release system.

The ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 has been applied in studies of ketorolac tromethamine adsorption and release. The SBA-15 materials with hexagonal and regular structure were obtained using a triblock copolymer Pluronic P as a template and TEOS as a silica source. Ketorolac tromethamine was adsorbed into SBA-15 silica nanochannels using ethanol as solvent.

Synthesis and characterization of SBA-3, SBA-15, and SBA-1 nanostructured catalytic materials.

A highly ordered large pore mesoporous silica molecular sieve SBA-3, SBA-15, Al-SBA-15, and SBA-1, were developed and characterized by XRD, BET, FTIR, SEM, and NMR-MAS. The catalytic materials were synthesized using different raw materials and operation conditions. These materials contain a regular arrangement of uniform channels with diameters between 1.

Preparation and characterization of polyaniline-containing Na-AlMCM-41 as composite material with semiconductor behavior.

Composite material formed from a mesoporous aluminosilicate, Na-AlMCM-41, with conducting polyaniline (PANI) has been synthesized by an in situ polymerization technique. Studies of aniline adsorption over mesoporous Na-AlMCM-41 synthesized in our laboratory allowed us to find the modes in which aniline interacts with the active sites of Na-AlMCM-41. In order to obtain the best reaction conditions to polymerize aniline onto Na-AlMCM-41, aniline was first polymerized to produce pure PANI.

Thermal and FTIR spectroscopic analysis of the interactions of aniline adsorbed on to MCM-41 mesoporous material.

The adsorption of aniline on Na-AlMCM-41 synthesized by us has been characterized by infrared spectroscopy, temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and differential thermal analysis methods. Aniline would be mostly bound to the mesostructure through weak pi interactions. On the mesostructure containing adsorbed water, the co-adsorption of aniline could occur by weak hydrogen bonding through surface water molecules.
