The functionalization of nanoporous zeolite L crystals with β-cyclodextrin (CD) has been demonstrated. The zeolite surface was first modified with amino groups by using two different aminoalkoxysilanes. Then, 1,4-phenylene diisothiocyanate was reacted with the amino monolayer and used to bind CD heptamine by using its remaining isothiocyanate groups. The use of the different aminoalkoxysilanes, 3-aminopropyl dimethylethoxysilane (APDMES) and 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), led to drastic differences in uptake and release properties. Thionine was found to be absorbed and released from amino- and CD-functionalized zeolites when APDMES was used, whereas functionalization by APTES led to complete blockage of the zeolite channels. Fluorescence microscopy showed that the CD groups covalently attached to the zeolite crystals could bind adamantyl-modified dyes in a specific and reversible manner. This strategy allowed the specific immobilization of His-tagged proteins by using combined host-guest and His-tag-Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) coordination chemistry. Such multifunctional systems have the potential for encapsulation of drug molecules inside the zeolite pores and non-covalent attachment of other (for example, targeting) ligand molecules on its surface.

Bifunctional optical magnetic materials with a high europium content have been prepared. Chelating groups were introduced on the Fe3O4 surface with organosilanes containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) derivatives, which were previously prepared via a reaction between EDTA-dianhydride and aminoalkoxysilane agents: 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine (1N), N-[3(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (2N) and N(1)-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)diethylenetriamine) (3N). The first coordination sphere of Ln-EDTA complexes present on the modified surfaces of Fe3O4 particles was completed by addition of β-diketonate ligands (tta: thenoyltrifluoroacetone, dbm: dibenzoylmethane, bzac: benzoylacetone and acac: acetylacetone) in order to improve their luminescence properties.

Bifunctionalized surface charge gradients in which the individual component gradients either align with or oppose each other have been prepared. The multicomponent gradients contain strongly acidic, weakly acidic, and basic functionalities that cooperatively interact to define surface wettability, nanoparticle binding, and surface charge. The two-step process for gradient formation begins by modifying a siloxane coated silicon wafer in a spatially dependent fashion first with an aminoalkoxysilane and then with a mercapto-functionalized alkoxysilane.

The uniformity of aminosilane layers typically used for the modification of hydroxyl bearing surfaces such as silicon dioxide is critical for a wide variety of applications, including biosensors. However, in spite of many studies that have been undertaken on surface silanization, there remains a paucity of easy-to-implement deposition methods reproducibly yielding smooth aminosilane monolayers. In this study, solution- and vapor-phase deposition methods for three aminoalkoxysilanes differing in the number of reactive groups (3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), 3-aminopropyl methyl diethoxysilane (APMDES) and 3-aminopropyl dimethyl ethoxysilane (APDMES)) were assessed with the aim of identifying methods that yield highly uniform and reproducible silane layers that are resistant to minor procedural variations.

The reactivity of a series of substituted aminoalkoxysilanes for surface amine gradient formation has been studied using a newly developed time-based exposure method termed controlled-rate infusion (CRI). The aminoalkoxysilanes used include those that contain primary, secondary, and tertiary monoamines as well as more than one amine group (diamine and triamine). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to confirm the presence of a gradient in each case and to acquire detailed information on gradient composition from which kinetic data were obtained.
