Photoreduction of Cu ions to Cu metal by titanium(IV) oxide (TiO) was conducted in the presence of a silica-surfactant hybrid under sulfuric acid conditions. After irradiation, a dark-red color, reflections due to Cu metal in the X-ray diffraction pattern, and peaks due to Cu 2 and 2 in the X-ray photoelectron spectrum indicated the precipitation of Cu metal in the product. In addition, an increase in the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area from 36 and 45 m/g for the silica-surfactant and TiO, respectively, to 591 m/g for the product, and a decrease in the intensity of the C-H stretching band in the Fourier-transform infra-red spectra implied the removal of surfactant during the reaction. These characteristics were never observed when TiO was used solely. Therefore, this study indicated that the photoreduction of Cu ions to Cu metal by TiO was facilitated under the sulfuric acid medium, where the surfactants extracted from silica-surfactant hybrids by protons in the acidic condition were successfully photo-oxidized by TiO. Thus, this study presents a new application of the conversion of a silica-surfactant hybrid into mesoporous silicas.

Vitamin D (VD) suffers from low water solubility and strong degradation, which both decrease its bioavailability. This work aims at obtaining a silica-surfactant-VD hybrid material and verifying if this system can protect VD from degradation and enhance its solubility. This preliminary study aspires at tuning the mesostructure order of the hybrid system (by modifying the surfactant amount) with the scope of controlling, somewhat, its drug release capability.

The single-step preparation of highly ordered mesoporous silica hybrid nanocomposites with conjugated polymers was explored using a novel cationic 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT) surfactant (PrS). The method does not require high-temperature calcination or a washing procedure. The combination of self-assembly of the silica surfactant and in situ polymerization of the ProDOT tail is responsible for creation of the mesoporosity with ultralarge pores, large pore volume, and electroactivity.

In this review, recent progress in the understanding of the formation of various silica mesoporous materials is reported. Owing to time-resolved experiments using Small Angle X-ray or Neutron Scattering (SAXS or SANS), it is possible to follow in situ the formation of a material during its synthesis via the Cooperative Templating Mechanism (CTM). Such experiments directly provide unique information about the structural properties of the material inside the synthesis solution.

To remove natural organic matter (NOM) from water, magnetic permanently confined micelle arrays (Mag-PCMAs) were synthesized by coating the surface of Fe(3)O(4) particles with a silica/surfactant mesostructured hybrid layer. An environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) was used to characterize the particle size and surface morphology of the Mag-PCMAs. The zeta potential was used to assess the surface charge.
