Abstract
In this study, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) were used as precursors for silica, combined with the ionic liquid [BMIM-ClO4]. Lithium perchlorate was added as the lithium-ion source, and formic acid was employed as a catalyst to synthesize silica ionogel electrolytes via the sol-gel method. FT-IR and NMR identified the self-prepared ionic liquid [BMIM-ClO4], and its electrochemical window was determined using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The properties of the prepared silica ionogel electrolytes were further investigated through FT-IR, DSC, and 29Si MAS NMR measurements, followed by electrochemical property measurements, including conductivity, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), LSV, and charge-discharge tests. The experimental results showed that adding methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) enhanced the mechanical strength of the silica ionogel electrolyte, simplifying its preparation process. The prepared silica ionogel electrolyte exhibited a high ionic conductivity of 1.65 × 10-3 S/cm. In the LSV test, the silica ionogel electrolyte demonstrated high electrochemical stability, withstanding over 5 V without oxidative decomposition. Finally, during the discharge-charge test, the second-cycle capacity reached 108.7 mAh/g at a discharge-charge rate of 0.2 C and a temperature of 55 °C.

Tailoring the Hydroxyl Density of Glass Surface for Anionic Ring-Opening Polymerization of Polyamide 6 to Manufacture Thermoplastic Composites. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14173663. [PMID: 36080738 PMCID: PMC9460734 DOI: 10.3390/polym14173663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Reactive thermoplastics matrices offer ease of processing using well-known molding techniques (such as Resin Transfer Molding) due to their initially low viscosity. For Polyamide 6 (PA6)/glass composites, the hydroxyl groups on the glass surface slow down the anionic ring-opening polymerization (AROP) reaction, and can ultimately inhibit it. This work aims to thoroughly control the hydroxyl groups and the surface chemistry of glass particulates to facilitate in situ AROP-an aspect that has been barely explored until now. A model system composed of a PA6 matrix synthesized by AROP is reinforced with calcinated and silanized glass microparticles. We systematically quantify, by TGA and FTIR, the complete particle surface modification sequence, from the dehydration, dehydroxylation and rehydroxylation processes, to the silanization step. Finally, the impact of the particle surface chemistry on the polymerization and crystallization of the PA6/glass composites was quantified by DSC. The results confirm that a careful balance is required between the dehydroxylation process, the simultaneous rehydroxylation and silane grafting, and the residual hydroxyl groups, in order to maintain fast polymerization and crystallization kinetics and to prevent reaction inhibition. Specifically, a hydroxyl concentration above 0.2 mmol OH·g−1 leads to a slowdown of the PA6 polymerization reaction. This reaction can be completely inhibited when the hydroxyl concentration reaches 0.77 mmol OH·g−1 as in the case of fully rehydroxylated particles or pristine raw particles. Furthermore, both the rehydroxylation and silanization processes can be realized simultaneously without any negative impact on the polymerization. This can be achieved with a silanization time of 2 h under the treatment conditions of the study. In this case, the silane agent gradually replaces the regenerated hydroxyls. This work provides a roadmap for the preparation of reinforced reactive thermoplastic materials.

Abstract
Rubber used in tire is usually strengthened by nanofiller, and the most popular nanofiller for tire tread rubber is nano silica, which can not only strengthen rubber but also lower the tire rolling resistance to reduce fuel consumption. However, silica particles are difficult to disperse in the rubber matrix because of the abundant silicon hydroxyl on their surface. Silane coupling agents are always used to modify silica and improve their dispersion, but a large number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted during the manufacturing of the nanosilica/rubber composites because of the condensation reaction between silane coupling agents and silicon hydroxyl on the surface of silica. Those VOCs will do great harm to the environment and the workers’ health. In this work, epoxidized solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubbers (ESSBR) with different epoxy degrees were prepared and used as macromolecular coupling agents aimed at fully eliminating VOCs. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses verified that the different ESSBRs were successfully synthesized from solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubbers (SSBR). With the help of the reaction between epoxy groups and silicon hydroxyl without any VOC emission, nanosilica can be well dispersed in the rubber matrix when SSBR partially replaced by ESSBR which was proved by Payne effect and TEM analysis. Dynamic and static mechanical testing demonstrated that silica/ESSBR/SSBR/BR nanocomposites have better performance and no VOC emission compared with Bis-(γ-triethoxysilylpropyl)-disulfide (TESPD) modified silica/rubber nanocomposites. ESSBR is very hopeful to replace traditional coupling agent TESPD to get high properties silica/rubber nanocomposites with no VOCs emission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amorphous silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) have been regarded as relatively benign nanomaterials, however, this widely held opinion has been questioned in recent years by several reports on in vitro and in vivo toxicity. Surface chemistry, more specifically the surface silanol content, has been identified as an important toxicity modulator for SiO2 NPs. Here, quantitative relationships between the silanol content on SiO2 NPs, free radical generation and toxicity have been identified, with the purpose of synthesizing safer-by-design fumed silica nanoparticles. RESULTS Consistent and statistically significant trends were seen between the total silanol content, cell membrane damage, and cell viability, but not with intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), in the macrophages RAW264.7. SiO2 NPs with lower total silanol content exhibited larger adverse cellular effects. The SAEC epithelial cell line did not show any sign of toxicity by any of the nanoparticles. Free radical generation and surface reactivity of these nanoparticles were also influenced by the temperature of combustion and total silanol content. CONCLUSION Surface silanol content plays an important role in cellular toxicity and surface reactivity, although it might not be the sole factor influencing fumed silica NP toxicity. It was demonstrated that synthesis conditions for SiO2 NPs influence the type and quantity of free radicals, oxidative stress, nanoparticle interaction with the biological milieu they come in contact with, and determine the specific mechanisms of toxicity. We demonstrate here that it is possible to produce much less toxic fumed silicas by modulating the synthesis conditions.

Abstract
Due to the growing interest in nanocomposites, a molecular characterization of these materials is essential for the understanding of their properties and for the development of new materials. Spectroscopic techniques that bring information at a molecular level are unavoidable when characterizing polymers, fillers and composites. Selected examples of the application of fluorescence, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared and Raman spectroscopies, illustrate the potential of these techniques for the analysis of the filler surface, the evaluation of the state of filler dispersion in the host matrix, the extent of interaction between the polymer and the filler particles or the dynamics of polymer chains at the polymer–filler interface.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The surface chemistry of synthetic amorphous silicas is essential for their applicational performance and for understanding their interactions with biological matter. Synthesis of silica by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) allows to control the content and type of hydroxyl groups which also affects the cytolytic activity. EXPERIMENTS By controlling the FSP process variables, silica nanoparticles with the same specific surface area but different surface chemistry and content of internal silanols are prepared by combustion of hexamethyldisiloxane sprays, as characterized by Raman and infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and titration with lithium alanate. Cytolytic activity is assessed in terms of membrane damage in human blood monocytes in vitro. FINDINGS Unlike commercial fumed silica, FSP-made silicas contain a significant amount of internal silanol groups and a high surface hydroxyl density, up to ∼8OH/nm2, similar to silicas made by wet-chemistry. Increasing the residence time of particles at high temperature during their synthesis reduces the internal and surface hydroxyl content and increases the relative amount of isolated silanols. This suggests incomplete oxidation of the silica matrix especially in short and "cold" flames and indicates that the silica particle formation pathway involves Si(OH)4. The surface chemistry differences translate into lower cytolytic activity for "cold-" than "hot-flame" silicas.

Abstract
The ability of various as-prepared and organically modified MCM-41 and HMS mesoporous silica materials to behave as efficient adsorbents for organic pollutants in aqueous solution was investigated by using different surface functionalization procedures, so as to adjust their hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance. The hydrophilic and organophilic properties of the parent silica materials and their corresponding surface functionalized counterparts were studied by using water and toluene adsorption isotherms. Their quantification was determined by the hydrophobic static index value (HI(static)), as well as by the silanol and organic group densities after the functionalization step. A clear correlation could be found between the HI(static) values and either the superficial silanol density, or the amount of organic moieties grafted or incorporated to the silica materials. For the highly organically functionalized samples, the residual superficial silanol groups (<50%) are sufficiently isolated from each other so as to prevent the water capillary condensation within the pores, thereby leading to an increased hydrophobic character of the resulting mesoporous silica. Those hydrophobic samples, for which the water liquid meniscus formation within the mesopores was minimized or avoided, exhibited a storage capacity for an organic pollutant (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide, DEET) in aqueous solution more than 20 times higher than that of the corresponding unmodified sample, independently of the silica nature (MCM-41 or HMS). For all calcined and silylated samples, the DEET maximum adsorption capacities determined by the Langmuir model could be correlated with the silica surface coverage by trimethylsilyl groups and thus with the remaining silanol amount.

Abstract
A recombinant red fluorescent protein, DsRed, was chosen as a model protein to prepare a protein-encapsulated bioaerogel, DsRed-SAG. It was prepared using sol-gel polymerization of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) with an ionic liquid as the solvent and pore-forming agent. The DsRed-SAG bioaerogel was characterized by Fourier transformation infrared, scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements. It was found that the as-prepared bioaerogel had high porosity, and the silica network exhibited little shrinkage during the drying process. The stability of the bioaerogel was monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy and confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. In addition, the protection of the encapsulated proteins by the silica network was further investigated using the degradation test by a protease. The results indicated that the as-prepared protein was quite stable during formation of the protein-containing wet gel and extraction of the ionic liquid, demonstrating that the new method can be extended to prepare other protein-encapsulated bioaerogels.

Abstract
Delayed-acquisition methods, namely, echo and constant-time-acquisition approaches, allow a significant improvement in resolution in the proton solid state NMR spectra of surface organometallic catalysts such as [syn-(SiO)Mo(=NAr)(=CH(t)Bu)(CH2(t)Bu)] and [(SiO)Re(C(t)Bu)(=CH(t)Bu)(CH2(t)Bu)] (syn/anti ratio = 1:1). This enables the observation of all of the proton resonances, which is not possible with the simple proton single-pulse technique under magic-angle spinning. For example, the methylene protons of the neopentyl ligands, buried in the large peak associated with all of the methyls in the 1H MAS spectrum, can easily be identified by recording a delayed-acquisition spectrum (resolution enhancement of a factor of 3 is obtained). Moreover, combining constant-time acquisition with heteronuclear carbon-proton correlation spectroscopy also improves the resolution of the 2D HETCOR spectra.

Abstract
The production of molecular hydrogen in the radiolysis of dried or hydrated nanoporous controlled-pore glasses (CPG) has been carefully studied using 10 MeV electron irradiation at high dose rate. In all cases, the H2 yield increases when the pore size decreases. Moreover, the yields measured in dried materials are two orders of magnitude smaller than those obtained in hydrated glasses. This proves that the part of the H2 coming from the surface of the material is negligible in the hydrated case. Thus, the measured yields correspond to those of nanoconfined water. Moreover, these yields are not modified by the presence of potassium bromide, which is a hydroxyl radical scavenger. This experimental observation shows that the back reaction between H2 and HO* does not take place in such confined environments. These porous materials have been characterized before and after irradiation by means of Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, which helps to understand the elementary processes taking place in this type of environment, especially the protective effect of water on the surface in the case of hydrated glasses.

Abstract
The adsorption of nonionic surfactants of the alkyl-phenol-poly(ethylene oxide) family and of acrylic latex particles on several anhydrous (but hydrating) or fully hydrated mineral phases of Portland cement was studied. No or negligible adsorption of the surfactant was observed. This was assigned to the ionized character of the surface silanol groups in calcium-silicate-hydrates and to the strongly ionic character of the OH groups in calcium hydroxide and in the calcium-sulfoaluminate-hydrates, which prevents the formation of surface-ethoxy hydrogen bonds. In contrast, provided they are properly stabilized by the surfactant, the latex particles form a loose monolayer on the surface of hydrating tricalcium silicate particles. The attractive interaction between the positive mineral surface and the negative latex surface appears to be the driving force for adsorption. In line with this, adsorption is reduced by sulfate anions, which adsorb specifically onto the silicate surface. Compared to tricalcium silicate, portlandite and gypsum interact only marginally with the latex particles. Our results show that the stability of the nonionic surfactant/latex/cement systems is essentially controlled by the latex colloidal stability and the latex-cement interactions, the surfactant having little direct interaction, if any, with the mineral surfaces.

Abstract
The mechanism of hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of 2-methylpiperidine was studied over a silica-supported nickel phosphide catalyst (Ni2P/SiO2, Ni/P = 1/2) and a commercial Ni-Mo-S/Al2O3 catalyst in a three-phase trickle-bed reactor operated at 3.1 MPa and 450-600 K. Analysis of the product distribution as a function of contact time indicated that the reaction proceeded in both cases predominantly by a substitution mechanism, with a smaller contribution of an elimination mechanism. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of the 2-methylpiperidine indicated that at reaction conditions a piperidinium ion intermediate was formed on both the sulfide and the phosphide. It is concluded that the mechanism of HDN on nickel phosphide is very similar to that on sulfides. The mechanism on the nickel phosphide was also probed by comparing the reactivity of piperidine and several of its derivatives in the presence of 3000 ppm S. The relative elimination rates depended on the structure of the molecules, and followed the sequence: 4-methylpiperidine approximately piperidine > 3-methylpiperidine > 2,6-dimethylpiperidine > 2-methylpiperidine. [Chemical structure: see text] This order of reactivity was not dependent on the number of alpha-H or beta-H atoms in the molecules, ruling out their reaction through a single, simple mechanism. It is likely that the unhindered piperidine molecules reacted by an S(N)2 substitution process and the more hindered 2,6-dimethylpiperidine reacted by an E2 elimination process.

Abstract
An infrared (IR) study of natural deuteration is conducted on minerals containing hydroxyl groups (talc and kaolinite) and channel-water-bearing minerals (beryl and emerald). In talc, the OD valence vibration is located at 2710 cm(-1), corresponding to OD groups surrounded by 3 Mg atoms. In kaolinite, the OD valence vibrations are located at 2671 cm(-1) (inner OD group), 2712, 2706, and 2700 cm(-1) (three inner-surface OD groups). In beryl and emerald, natural deuteration of channel water is observed for the first time by infrared microspectroscopy. In beryl from Minas Gerais (Brazil), the OD profiles are characterized by four bands at 2735, 2686, 2672, and 2641 cm(-1). In emeralds from Colombia and Brazil, the OD profiles are characterized by five or four bands, respectively, at 2816, 2737, 2685, 2673, and 2641 cm(-1) (Colombia) and 2730, 2684, 2672, and 2640 cm(-1) (Brazil). The band at 2816 cm(-1) can be assigned to -OD or OD(-), and bands at 2686-2684, 2673-2672, and 2641-2640 cm(-1) can be assigned to type-I and type-II HOD molecules. The band at 2737-2730 cm(-1) is partially disturbed by combination bands of the mineral. Such OD profiles are different from those obtained by artificial deuteration at higher OD dilution.

Abstract
The adsorption of stereoregular polymers and its effect on the conformation and dynamics of the polymer at interfaces are only poorly understood. 1H NMR has revealed a lowering of the peaks assigned to isotactic sequences whatever the PMMA tacticity, which provides evidence of stereospecific adsorption of the isotactic segments on silica. Entropic factors are therefore assumed to control the configuration of the adsorbed layer. Tacticity-dependent rheological behavior is revealed by dynamic investigations carried out on silica dispersions. The driving forces likely to induce the stereoselective adsorption and tacticity-dependent rheology of suspensions are discussed.

Abstract
The optimization of the surface functionalization of flat thermal silicon oxide by silanes was investigated. The difficulties are the low density of silanols at the surface of thermal silica, the lack of precise knowledge of the actual surface chemistry of thermal silica and of its hydroxylation, and the limited number of possible chemical analyses at flat surfaces of small area. This steered our study toward a comparative investigation of the hydroxylation and silane grafting of thermal silica and the well-known fumed silica. The silane grafting density for fumed silica that had undergone thermal treatments of dehydroxylation was related to the surface density of silanols. The surface density of silane on the flat thermal silica as measured by FTIR-ATR spectroscopy was 1.4 micromol/m2, similar to that of fumed silica dehydroxylated at 1000 degrees C. This moderate value was related to the low silanol density present on such silica surfaces. Several rehydroxylation treatments that proved their efficiency on dehydroxylated fumed silica did not lead to any noticeable improvement on thermal silicon dioxide.

Abstract
A molecular level understanding of the interactions between hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) and sediments is needed in order to assess contaminant fate in the environment. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations were performed to investigate water and trichloroethylene (TCE) adsorption in slit micropores confined by charged and uncharged silica surfaces. Gas-phase single-sorbate simulations with water or TCE were performed as well as mixture simulations of bulk water containing TCE at 1% of its saturation concentration. Gas-phase isosteric heats for water adsorption in the uncharged pores ranged from -40 to -52 kJ/mol, and the densities of the adsorbed water phases were always less than that for bulk water. Gas-phase isosteric heats for water adsorption in the charged pores ranged from -79 to -170 kJ/mol, and the densities of the adsorbed water phases were close to that for bulk water. The isosteric heats and water densities indicated that the uncharged pores were mildly hydrophobic, and the charged pores were very hydrophilic. In mixture simulations of adsorption from solution, the presence of water promoted TCE adsorption in uncharged pores with widths between 14 and 20 A. The isosteric heats for TCE adsorption from solution ranged from -14 to -27 kJ/mol in the uncharged pores and from -9.3 to -50 kJ/mol in the charged pores. Strong attractions to the pore surfaces were significantly diminished after adsorption of the first two monolayers of either adsorbate. Aqueous-phase TCE at a concentration equal to 1% of its saturation concentration was able to completely displace adsorbed water in uncharged pores. Even in highly hydrophilic pores, TCE at this concentration was able to displace up to 50% of the adsorbed water. Apparent differential enthalpies of adsorption determined from the temperature dependence of TCE adsorption isotherms underestimated the magnitude of the true isosteric heats of adsorption by up to 30 kJ/mol. This shows that HOC adsorption enthalpies determined from the temperature dependence of their adsorption isotherms underestimate the true strength of HOC-adsorbent interactions.

Abstract
This review is focused on the basic theory of diffusion-assisted reactions in microheterogeneous systems, from porous solids to self-organized colloids and biomolecules. Rich kinetic behaviors observed experimentally are explained in a unified fashion using simple concepts of competing distance and time scales of the reaction and the embedding structure. We mainly consider pseudo-first-order reactions, such as luminescence quenching, described by the Smoluchowski type of equation for the reactant pair distribution function with a sink term defined by the reaction mechanism. Microheterogeneity can affect the microscopic rate constant. It also enters the evolution equation through various spatial constraints leading to complicated boundary conditions and, possibly, to the reduction of dimensionality of the diffusion space. The reaction coordinate and diffusive motion along this coordinate are understood in a general way, depending on the problem at hand. Thus, the evolution operator can describe translational and rotational diffusion of molecules in a usual sense, it can be a discrete random walk operator when dealing with hopping of adsorbates in solids, or it can correspond to conformational fluctuations in proteins. Mathematical formulation is universal but physical consequences can be different. Understanding the principal features of reaction kinetics in microheterogeneous systems enables one to extract important structural and dynamical information about the host environments by analyzing suitably designed experiments, it helps building effective strategies for computer simulations, and ultimately opens possibilities for designing systems with controllable reactivity properties.

Abstract
Poly(ethyleneimine) and poly(4-vinylpyridine) chains adsorbed on Nucleosil silica have been randomly labeled with nitroxide free radicals. The EPR signal is very sensitive to the molecular Brownian motion of the segments and shows generally at least two different environments: trains adsorbed on the surface with a restricted mobility, and loops and tails protruding into the solution with a fast motion. The rotational correlation times and the relative fraction of each population are given as functions of the coverage achieved and of the specific surface area of the silica for the samples in contact with methanol and sometimes water. The overall picture is consistent with a diffuse layer for the PEI and a more compact one with some heterogeneities for the P4VP. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Abstract
The adsorption of argon, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide in porous Vycor glass has been studied by volumetric and microcalorimetric methods and by thermoporometry. Samples with particle sizes ranging from <50 to >200 µm have been selected and treated by sample controlled thermal analysis (SCTA). Subsequent characterization indicates that the particle size has no influence on the pore texture and nature. Thermal treatment, however, modifies the chemical nature of the surface. It would seem that nitrogen and carbon monoxide assume a distinct mean orientation leading to smaller effective cross-sectional areas than those usually accepted. Carbon monoxide clearly distinguishes two different types of adsorption site for samples treated at low temperature. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.
