Preparation of a sensor substrate using functionalized mesoporous silica on a gold film for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy

The use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy has been applied to a wide variety of fields such as biosensors and surface analysis instruments. In general, a SPR substrate is prepared using self-assembled monolayer (SAM) method of organic molecules as receptor for the target on a layer of gold or silver. However, mesoporous inorganic materials such as SBA-15 have benefits as sensor substrate for SPR. Mesoporous silica has a large surface area which receptor molecule can be attached and has a rigid body which has an excellent stability in the extreme condition compared to organic sensing layer. We prepared an organic modified mesoporous silica and successfully immobilized it on a gold surface, in an attempt to use as a substrate for SPR spectroscopy. For the comparison of sensitivity of prepared substrate, Pt²⁺ detection was selected as a model system. Substrate prepared in this study exhibited the capability of selective sensing for Pt²⁺ ions.

Fischer-Tropsch Performance of an SiO2-Supported Co-Based Catalyst Prepared by Hydrogen Dielectric-Barrier Discharge Plasma

A silica-supported cobalt catalyst was prepared by hydrogen dielectric-barrier dis- charge （H2-DBD） plasma. Compared to thermal hydrogen reduction, H2-DBD plasma treatment can not only fully decompose the cobalt precursor but also partially reduce the cobalt oxides at lower temperature and with less time. The effect of the discharge atmosphere on the property of the plasma-prepared catalyst and the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis activity was studied. The re- sults indicate that H2-DBD plasma treatment is a promising alternative for preparing Co/SiO2 catalysts from the viewpoint of energy savings and efficiency.

异氰酸酯增强二氧化硅气凝胶的力学性能

采用有机无机复合的方式,制得异氰酸酯增强的SiO2气凝胶。将硅酸甲酯(TMOS)、甲基三甲氧基硅烷(MTMS)、3-氨丙基三乙氧基硅烷(APTES)配成混合硅源,经水解缩聚后形成凝胶,老化后浸泡在含六亚甲基二异氰酸酯单体(HDI)的乙腈溶液中,最后经CO₂超临界干燥,获得了具有良好机械性能的SiO₂气凝胶。制备过程中引入的MTMS增加了凝胶与有机物间的浸润性,与使用有机物低聚体相比,使用单体可使有机物更易进入凝胶网络,反应更充分,形成纳米尺度更均匀的复合气凝胶。复合后的气凝胶密度为330 mg/cm³、比表面积为446.3 m²/g、热导率为0.068 W•m^-1•K^-1,该气凝胶良好的力学性能(压缩强度为19.96 MPa、压缩模量为82.37 MPa)使气凝胶的机械加工成为可能。

Biomimetic micropatterning of silica by surface-initiated polymerization and microcontact printing

Micropatterns of silica on a gold substrate were generated by a biomimetic approach, namely, the biosilicification of silicic acids. The procedure consists of three simple steps: pattern generation of a polymerization initiator, (BrC(CH(3))(2)COO(CH(2))(11)S)(2), by microcontact printing; surface-initiated, atom-transfer radical polymerization of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) from the patterned area; and polycondensation of silicic acids. The tertiary amine-containing polymer, pDMAEMA, aided in the spatially controlled polycondensation of silicic acids on surfaces in the presence of phosphate ions, and micropatterns of silica on a gold substrate were successfully generated in combination with the technique of microcontact printing. The procedure could be extended to the controlled fabrication of silica patterns with any size, shape, or thickness.     

NIR-Triggered Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species and Photodynamic Therapy Based on Mesoporous Silica-Coated LiYF4 Upconverting Nanoparticles

To date, the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production for effectual photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment still remains challenging. In this study, a facile and effective approach is utilized to coat mesoporous silica (mSiO₂) shell on the ligand-free upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) based on the LiYF₄ host material. Two kinds of mesoporous silica-coated UCNPs (UCNP@mSiO₂) that display green emission (doped with Ho³⁺) and red emission (doped with Er³⁺), respectively, were successfully synthesized and well characterized. Three photosensitizers (PSs), merocyanine 540 (MC 540), rose bengal (RB), and chlorin e6 (Ce6), with the function of absorption of green or red emission, were selected and loaded into the mSiO₂ shell of both UCNP@mSiO₂ nanomaterials. A comprehensive study for the three UCNP@mSiO₂/PS donor/acceptor pairs was performed to investigate the efficacy of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), ROS generation, and in vitro PDT using a MCF-7 cell line. ROS generation detection showed that as compared to the oleate-capped and ligand-free UCNP/PS pairs, the UCNP@mSiO₂/PS nanocarrier system demonstrated more pronounced ROS generation due to the UCNP@mSiO₂ nanoparticles in close vicinity to PS molecules and a higher loading capacity of the photosensitizer. As a result, the three LiYF₄ UCNP@mSiO₂/PS nanoplatforms displayed more prominent therapeutic efficacies in PDT by using in vitro cytotoxicity tests.
