In this work, the effect of immobilization of bread yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) by sol-gel technique combined with functionalized nanoporous silica was investigated in different weight ratios of silica containing materials (TMOS: LUS-1). The activities of immobilized yeast in days after immobilization were examined. The results showed immobilization maintain the yeast life for a longer tim...

Mesoporous silica LUS-1 (Laval University Silica) was successfully functionalized by propyl sulfonic acid and was used as a recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of acridine-1,8-diones via a pseudo four component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, dimedone and ammonium acetate (or anilines). The excellent yields, short reaction time, simple work-up procedure, and environmentally friendly condition...

In this work, an innovative method is described for the preconcentration of phosphate ions using ethylenediamine functionalized mesopor (MCM-41). Functionalized MCM-41 was synthesized and the presence of organic groups in the silica framework was demonstrated by FTIR spectrum. The amount of organic groups immobilized on silica surface was determined by elemental analysis and TGA. The functi...

The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...

Knoevenagel condensation between barbituric acid and aldehyde was investigated in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H) and resulted in the formation of arylidene and bis-arylidene barbiturates. Excellent yields and short reaction times are related to the high efficiency of SBA-Pr-SO3H that the reactions take place easily in its nano-pores. SBA-Pr-SO3H as ...

SBA-15 is an interesting mesoporous silica material having highly ordered nanopores and a large surface area, which is widely employed as a catalyst. This mesoporous silica due to silanol groups is easily functionalized by various organic materials. A new acidic ordered functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-15-Aminopropyl-Benzyl-SO3H) has been introduced as an efficient catalyst for ...

In this study, thymol was covalently connected to mesoporous silica nanomaterial by a post-grafting method obtain stable antibacterial system, thus overcoming the volatilization of thymol, prolonging effective time action, and enhancing efficiency thymol. It proposed for first that such synthetic route be adopted synthesize silica-based mesoporous/essential oil materials. The could capable reta...
