The functionalization of UiO-67 with -NH2 groups enhances CO2 and CH4 adsorption at 1 bar and 298 K and positively influences the framework's interaction with water as evidenced by the significant enhancement of water vapour adsorption at 0.1 < P/P0 < 0.3 and 298 K.

in this study, a novel solid dendrimer amine (hyperbranched polymers) was prepared using mesoporous carbon nitride functionalized by melamine based dendrimer amines. this adsorbent was denoted mda-mcn-1. the process was stepwise synthesis and hard-templating method using mesoporous silica sba-15 as a template. cyanuric chloride and n,n-diisopropylethylamine (dipea, merck) were used for function...

Rubloff, Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Institute for Systems Research Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip devices have revolutionized the field of analytical biology. To fully opt...

A facile method to obtain polydisperse chemically-converted graphene sheets that are covalently functionalized with ionic liquid was reported -- the resulting graphene sheets, without any assistance from polymeric or surfactant stabilizers, can be stably dispersed in water, DMF, and DMSO.

Saturated aza-heterocycles are highly privileged building blocks that are commonly encountered in bioactive compounds and approved therapeutic agents. These N-heterocycles are also incorporated as chiral auxiliaries and ligands in asymmetric synthesis. As such, the development of methods to functionalize the α-methylene C-H bonds of these systems enantioselectively is of great importance, espec...

Reducing the CO2 levels in the atmosphere is one of the emerging challenges for human society. It is commonly accepted that CO2, as a greenhouse gas, is partly responsible for climate changes. It is thus important to reduce those CO2 levels in every possible way. This can be achieved in different manners, for example by decreasing CO2 emission by developing energy efficient processes with a red...

Developing bifunctional nanoplatforms integrating advanced biological imaging with high-performance therapeutic functions is interesting for nanoscience and biomedicine. Herein, thin-layered FePS3 nanosheets modified amine polyethylene glycol (FePS3-PEG) are synthesized by ultrasonicated exfoliation of bulk single crystals under Ar atmosphere in situ chemical functionalization PEG. The prepared...

MIL-101Cr fully or partially (p) postsynthetically modified with nitro (-NO2) or amino (-NH2) groups was shown to be a robust, water stable, selective and enhanced carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption material with the amine-functionality. The highly microporous amine-modified frameworks (up to 1.6 cm(3) g(-1) total pore volume) exhibit excellent thermal stability (>300 °C) with BET surface areas up...

A method to functionalize cholecyst-derived extracellular matrix (CEM) with free amine groups was established in an attempt to improve its potential for tethering of bioactive molecules. CEM was incorporated with Generation-1 polyamidoamine (G1 PAMAM) dendrimer by using N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide cross-linking system. The nature of incorporation of P...

Organic interfacial compounds (OICs) are required as linkers for the highly stable and efficient immobilization of bioprobes in nanobiosensors using 2D nanomaterials such graphene. Herein, we first demonstrated fabrication a field-effect transistor (FET) via microelectromechanical system process after covalent functionalization on large-scale graphene by introducing oligo(phenylene-ethynylene)a...
