Dispersions of amino-functionalized silica in ethylene glycol (EG) and in aqueous glycol show excellent stability at room temperature. Stability at elevated temperatures would be much desired with respect to their potential application as heat-transfer fluids. Amino-functionalized silica was dispersed in EG and in 50-50 aqueous EG by mass. HCl and acetic acid were added to enhance the positive ζ potential. The dispersions were stored at 40, 60, 80, and 100 °C for up to 28 days, and ζ potential and apparent particle radius were studied as a function of elapsed time. The particles showed a positive ζ potential in excess of 40 mV (Smoluchowski), which remained unchanged for 28 days. Such a high absolute value of ζ potential is sufficient to stabilize the dispersion against flocculation and sedimentation. The apparent particle radius in acidified dispersions was about 70 nm, and it was stable for 28 days. The particles were larger in pH-neutral dispersions. The apparent particle radius was about 80 nm in fresh dispersions and it increased on long storage at 80 and 100 °C.

CO chemisorption using amine-based sorbents is one of the most effective techniques for carbon capture and storage. Solid CO sorbents with amines immobilized on their surface have been attracting attention due to the easy collection of sorbents and reusability. In this study, we developed a solid CO adsorbent by co-condensation of a silanizing reagent having a chloroalkyl group and tetraethyl ethoxysilane, followed by alkylation of the chloroalkyl group with diamine.

In this study, boron-doped magnetic mesoporous silica nanocomposite was prepared through the hydrothermal synthesis procedure followed by post modification with -NH groups. The higher surface area, more ordered mesoporous structure, and higher surface charge density obtained by boron doping and amino functionalization contributed to the use of nanocomposite for multipurpose application functions. When used as an adsorbent for light green (LG) anionic dye, boron-doped nanocomposite exhibited higher adsorption capacity (105.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a serious, chronic infection that often shows no symptoms, making early detection crucial for treatment and infection control.
- Current detection methods like PCR are expensive and time-consuming, which limits their use in smaller labs and field settings.
- A new technology using crosslinked Enhanced Emission (CEE) has been developed for detecting HCV RNA with high sensitivity and speed, allowing results in under 20 minutes via a 3D-printed microfluidic chip, achieving impressive sensitivity (96.47%) and specificity (98.79%).

Sensitive detection of tumor biomarkers is of great significance for early cancer diagnosis, treatment evaluation, and recurrence monitoring. Development of convenient electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor using dissolved oxygen (O) as an endogenous co-reactant of luminol combined with efficient nanocatalysts to boost ECL signal in neutral media is highly desirable. Herein, sensitive detection of tumor biomarker using ECL of luminal-O enhanced by confinement of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) and platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) on nanochannel array was demonstrated.

Disposable electrochemical biosensors with high sensitivity are very fit for point-of-care testing in clinical diagnosis. Herein, amino-functionalized, vertically ordered mesoporous silica films (NH-VMSF) attached to an electrochemically polarized screen-printed carbon electrode (p-SPCE) are prepared using a simple electrochemical method and then utilized to construct a gated electrochemical aptasensor for rapid and sensitive determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). After being treated with the electrochemical polarization procedure, p-SPCE has plentiful oxygen-containing groups and improved catalytic ability, which help promote the stability of NH-VMSF on SPCE without the use of an adhesive layer and simultaneously generate a highly electroactive sensing interface.
