The goal of this research was to investigate the potential of newly synthesized gold complex trichloro(2,4,6-trimethylpyridine)Au(III) as an anticancer agent. The gold(III) complex was synthesized and grafted on nanoporous silica, MCM-41, to produce AuCl(3)@PF-MCM- 41 (AuCl(3) grafted on pyridine-functionalized MCM-41). The toxicity of trichloro(2,4,6- trimethylpyridine)Au(III) and AuCl(3)@PF-M...

MCM-48 were prepared using hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and TEOS modified with N1-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl) diethylenetriamine by post-synthesis method to develop efficient adsorbent for heavy metal adsorption. These materials determined X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption measurement, scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the modification of resulted in a decrease...

MCM-41 was used as a support and, by using atomic layer deposition (ALD) in the liquid phase, a catalyst was prepared by consecutively loading titanium oxide and vanadium oxide to the support. This research analyzes the effect of the loading amount of vanadium oxide on the acidic characteristics and catalytic performance in the dehydration of butanol. The physical and chemical characteristics o...

An efficient enzymatic process was developed to produce optically pure D-phenylalanine through asymmetric resolution of the racemic DL-phenylalanine using immobilized phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (RgPAL) from Rhodotorula glutinis JN-1. RgPAL was immobilized on a modified mesoporous silica support (MCM-41-NH-GA). The resulting MCM-41-NH-GA-RgPAL showed high activity and stability. The resolution ...

In this research, the fabrication of MCM-41 mesoporous material nanofibers by an electrospinning technique was performed. The MCM-41 nanofibers (MCM-41 NFs) as a novel host on the incorporation of silver has been studied in [Ag(NH3)2]NO3 precursor solution through the heat-treatment process. The formation of silve...

Synthesis and characterization of novel Tea Tree Oil (TTO) loaded antibacterial polyurethane rigid foams using two distinct methods is reported. In the first method, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) functionalized mesoporous silica was used as carrier TTO for preparing amino-functionalized (TTO-NH2-MCM-41). second one, encapsulated by via sol-gel then APTS, nanocontainers with amino groups (...
