Silica particles with various pore sizes were modified with poly(acrylamide) via surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) under different reaction conditions. Twenty different columns were prepared and characterized according to a test method for hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) columns. Hydrophilic retention by the SI-ATRP columns was much higher than that of poly(acrylamide) columns prepared via free-radical polymerization and many commercially available HILIC columns. The SI-ATRP columns displayed greater selectivity for -OH groups than any of the HILIC columns based on their α(U/2dU) values. SI-ATRP functionalization was used to increase the polymer chain density on the silica particles, which suggested a brush-type morphology, and improved hydrophilic selectivity. This indicated that hydrophilic retention and selectivity could be controlled by adjusting the morphology of the organic stationary phase. This stationary phase design strategy was validated experimentally by the effective separation of highly hydrophilic analytes. The findings of this study will greatly contribute to the creation of better separation media.

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.

The development of a direct compression excipient with extended-release property is crucial for improving tablet manufacturing and drug delivery. This research focuses on developing a novel co-processed excipient composed of rice starch (RS), methylcellulose (MC), and colloidal silicon dioxide (CSD) using a wet granulation technique. The ratios of RS: MC (1.

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.
