Formation of titanium nitride nanoparticles within mesoporous silica SBA-15
Article Abstract:
The first synthesis of titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles inside the nanoscale channels of mesoporous silicia SBA-15 is reported. The functionalization of pore surfaces with methyl groups generates hydrophobic surfaces that facilitate impregnation with Ti(NMe2)4 and minimizes reactions between the TiN precursor and the hydroxyl groups on the surface of SBA-15.

Adsorption of DNA into mesoporous silica
Article Abstract:
Adsorption of DNA into acid-prepared mesoporous silica (APMS) is studied by evaluating the relationships between cation identity and concentration, pore diameter, and surface area with respect to DNA adsorption. Confocal scanning laser microscopy reveals that fluorescently labeled DNA molecules are able to diffuse into the pores of APMS-34.

Methane sorption in ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 in the presence of water
Article Abstract:
A possibility of using SBA-15 as the methane carrier is tested to develop more efficient technology of on-board storage. Methane sorption isotherms on SBA-15 are collected with a volumetric method for samples of different contents of water, and the enhancement of the sorption capacity due to the presence of water is observed.
