We have tackled in situ electric conductance measurements under microscopic observations for alignments of silica particles that are induced by ionic polarization of the electrical double layer (EDL) around the particles. Using the in situ conductance measurements, we have presented evidence that electro-osmotic flow at a vessel bottom/water interface would be coupled with the ionic polarization in the EDL of spherical silica particles settling at the bottom (Langmuir 2007, 23, 8797). In this study, we followed this phenomenon further. We altered the zeta potential of a platform of a glass plate on which a pearl chain of silica particles was formed under an ac electric field to control the mobility of electro-osmotic flow at the macroscopic interface of the platform/water. As the magnitude of the zeta potential of the platform increased, the surface distance between neighboring particles in the pearl chains decreased and the in situ conductance totally increased due to the enhancement of the dipole moments induced by the ionic polarizations of the particles. These results could be explained by considering that the electro-osmotic contribution to the surface conduction around the particles would be coupled with that occurring at the platform/water interface.

A novel synthesis of a nanometric MCM-41 from biogenic silica obtained from rice husk is here presented. CTABr and Pluronic F127 surfactants were employed as templating agents to promote the formation of a long-range ordered 2D-hexagonal structure with cylindrical pores and to limit the particle growth at the nanoscale level thus resulting in a material with uniform particle size of 20-30 nm. The physico-chemical properties of this sample (RH-nanoMCM) were investigated through a multi-technique approach, including PXRD, Si MAS NMR, TEM, -potential and N physisorption analysis at 77 K.

A new type of filler was added to epoxy resin to prepare a composite coating with excellent corrosion and weathering resistance. The simple synthesis process and nonpolluting raw materials of this filler contribute to the development of green chemistry. Specifically, lignin was encapsulated in mesoporous silica, the synergistic effect between the two resulted in the formation of lignin/mesoporous silica composite particles (MSN-L) with excellent ultraviolet (UV) resistance.

The study aimed to develop a superhydrophobic coating on the aluminium alloy 2024-T3 surface. The desired surface roughness and low surface energy were achieved with SiO nanoparticles, synthesised via the Stöber method and modified with alkyl silane (AS) or perfluoroalkyl silane (FAS). To enhance particle adhesion to the alloy substrate, nanoparticles were incorporated into a hybrid sol-gel coating composed of tetraethyl orthosilicate, methyl methacrylate, and 3-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane.
