▼ The heterogeneous metallocene catalyst is becoming a very competitive industrially due to its ability to produce tailor-made polymers. The main advantage of the metallocene polymer product is the narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD) and the systematic comonomer distribution along the polymer chains. Therefore, the metallocene polymer product has well-defined mechanical and optical properties. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of the silica support on the reaction kinetics and micro properties of the heterogeneous metallocene catalyst system. These investigations include studying the influence of the pore volume, surface area, particle size distribution, and the surface chemical characteristics of silica support on the catalyst performance.
The experiments showed that the silica type has an influence on the kinetic behavior. For instance, silica with a lower pore volume shows an induction period when compared with higher pore volume silicas. Moreover, the silica type has a clear influence on catalyst activity and polymer morphology. The smallest silica particles produced the highest activity among the other sizes regardless of silica type. The supported catalysts were characterized and linked to the silica type and size in terms of catalyst activity and polymer morphology. Each catalyst in terms of silica type behaved similarly regardless of type of alkylaluminum used in the formulation.
The micro properties of the produced polymers, such as MWD and chemical composition distribution (CCD), were studied to understand the effects of the type and size of silica support and co-catalyst on these properties. The silica types showed no effect on the MWD, but had a slight effect on the CCD. Silica with a high pore volume had a stronger more comonomer response. However, the silica particle size had an influence on the CCD, with less comonomer incorporation observed with smaller silica particles. Finally, triethylauminum was observed to produce polymer with a different MWD when compared with other alkylaluminums. However, all alkylaluminums used in this work had no effect on the CCD of the produced polymer regardless of silica type.

▼ This thesis investigates electrophoretic separation of
DNA molecules in different types of separation media formed by
silica nanoparticles. Particle arrays within microfluidic chips are
fabricated using evaporation induced colloidal self-assembly.
Methods to adjust pore size and the order of the particle lattice
were developed, in order to probe the effect of lattice structure
and size on separation of DNA. A stepwise packing procedure was
developed to fabricate structures with stepwise gradient in pore
size. Monodisperse packed structures yield pore sizes from a few
nanometers to a few hundred nanometers according to the particle
size being used, but the electrophoresis can only be optimized for
a certain range of DNA sizes. By packing separation zones with two
different pore sizes, optimal separation can be achieved for larger
and smaller DNA size range, by taking advantages from both larger
and smaller pore sizes within one device. The separation
accomplished in the upstream region is retained as DNA moves across
the zone boundary, even when the separated DNA has the same
deflection angle in the downstream region. Small DNA not separated
in the larger pore size is then separated in the smaller,
downstream pore size. The peak capacity is improved by employment
of this stepwise pore gradient. Colloidal arrays with two different
sized nanoparticles mixed in various proportions are prepared,
yielding structures with different degrees of disorder. The roles
of order within a separation matrix on DNA separation in both
asymmetric pulsed field angular separation and capillary zone
electrophoresis are studied systematically. Radial distribution
functions and orientational order parameters are determined to
characterize the scale of disorder. In pulsed field
electrophoresis, the DNA separation resolution is quantified for
each structure, showing a strong dependence on order within the
structure. Ordered structures give better separation resolution
than highly disordered structures. However, the variation of
separation performance with order is not monotonic, showing a
small, but statistically significant improvement in structures with
short range order compared to those with long range order. In
capillary zone electrophoresis, regression analysis is conducted
for the electrophoretic mobility and the dispersion coefficient.
Both parameters exhibit a weak monotonic dependence on matrix
order, complementary to the effect of DNA size and pore size.
Higher degree of matrix order is favored by higher mobility and
lower dispersion coefficient.

▼ Proton exchange membranes are a key component in the
fuel cell system. Various perflurosulfonic polymers have been used
to achieve high proton conductivity, such as Nafion, however, only
gives good proton conductivity when it is fully hydrated and limits
the operating temperature to no higher than 80°C. Therefore,
developing new materials for high temperature fuel cells is
challenging. In this work, the surface modified
silica particles
are bound with polymers to form proton-exchange membranes. Surface
modification of
silica particles was achieved by sultonation
process leading to the production with a high IEC value as 2.3
mmol/g. Modified
silica particles were blended with several
polymeric binders with different amounts of
silica particles. The
composite membranes have the conductivity closer to 10-2 Scm-1 at
20% RH and 90°C. This leads the membranes having potential for real
fuel cells application. There are four designs parameters that
influence proton conducting path. They are proton density, acidity,
proton solvation and network structure. There four parameters have
been discussed systematically.

Detection of middle to late Holocene Icelandic cryptotephras in the Netherlands: tephra versus biogenic silica.

▼ Every volcano erupts ash that is characteristic for that volcano. When tephra is produced, prevailing
winds can transport the tephra over large distances, where they are then deposited due to
gravitational and/or precipitational fallout. The goal of this paper is to detect and chemically analyse
middle to late Holocene cryptotephras in the Netherlands and trace these tephras back to their source.
The Rheinberg and Zijderveld cores are sampled and a separation method based on heavy liquid
separation was adapted for use on clay-rich material. Instead of ashing the samples in a furnace,
which would result in producing bricks from the clay, H2O2 is used to dissolve all the organic material.
The material is then subjected to heavy liquid separation. The particles remaining were then analysed
with the optical microscope and a tephra shard count was done. The particles were deemed tephra
based on their morphology and optical properties. However, after chemical analysis using the SEM, all
of these supposed tephra particles turned out to be biogenic
silica or mica. No Icelandic tephras were
present. The biogenic
silica was mistaken to be tephra due to its tephra-like morphology and the same
optical properties. The absence of tephras can be explained in three possible ways: 1) the ashcloud
did not extend as far as the Rheinberg and Zijderveld localities, 2) the deposition occurred by wet
fallout and since there was no precipitation in the Netherlands there was no tephra deposition and 3)
the localities were not suitable for deposition of tephra due to the possible presence of running water.

▼ A major challenge to any “solvent-based” bitumen
extraction technology is the removal of suspended fine solids from
the hydrocarbon medium (i.e. diluted bitumen). To address this
problem, we examined how colloidal solids could be made to
aggregate in a hydrocarbon medium and thus be separated by gravity
settling. The model solids were micron-sized “bitumen-treated”
silica particles; the oil phase was bitumen diluted in an organic
solvent of variable aromatic content. On the macroscopic scale, the
experiments involved quantifying the settling rates of the
particles as the aromatic content of the solvent was varied. Our
results showed the existence of an optimal (non-zero) aromatic
content at which the solids settling rate was the highest. On the
microscopic scale, adhesive forces between individual glass spheres
were directly measured using the microcantilever technique (again
in non-aqueous media). It was demonstrated that, in addition to
being captured by asphaltene networks, the suspended solids could
also homo-flocculate — and thus form aggregates and be separated —
in an alkane-diluted bitumen environment.

▼ A series of laboratory tests were performed in a sand commercially known as2Q-ROK to determine its response to loading. #2Q-ROK is a poorly-graded, clean
silica sand composed of 99% of quartz (SiO2). Its specific gravity is 2.65 and its maximum and minimum void ratios are 1.03 and 0.7, respectively. In the absence of crushing, the #2Q-ROK sand direct shear critical-state friction angle is 32.8° and the ring shear critical-state friction angle is 29.6°.
One-dimensional compression tests were performed on samples compressed to a normal stress of 24,851.36kPa for time periods ranging from 4 hours to 11 days. The maximum increment in relative breakage was 0.02. Time effects did not play a significant role in
particle crushing of #2Q-ROK sand.
The evolution of strength,
particle gradation and morphology parameters with crushing were investigated by performing ring shear tests. The results of the ring shear tests showed that
particle crushing increases significantly with shear displacement. Samples compressed to a normal stress of 300kPa and sheared for displacements ranging from 0.5m to 11.3m showed a maximum increase in relative breakage of 0.41. As crushing increased, the
particle gradation of #2Q-ROK evolved from a poorly-graded sand to a more well-graded sand. Samples tested in the ring shear apparatus presented cycles of stress and vertical deformation, which indicated the occurrence of
particle crushing. Each of these cycles started with a stage of contraction followed by a stage of dilation and a final stage of vertical displacement stabilization. As a result of the shear stress cycles observed with crushing, the mobilized friction angle of #2Q-ROK sand oscillated between 31° and 33°. Ring shear tests performed on samples compressed to normal stresses ranging from 50kPa to 100kPa and sheared to displacements ranging from 20m to 30m indicated that the friction angle increased by approximately 3° at large shear displacements. The fluctuation of friction angle that initially ranged from 31° to 33° started to increase at approximately 7m and 10m for the samples compressed to 100kPa and 50kPa, respectively. At the end of these tests the mobilized friction angle ranged from 33° to 36°.
Ring shear tests also showed that
particle crushing developed only in a shear zone whose thickness ranged from 4.4mm to 4.7mm (6.5 to 6.9 times the D50 of the original material). Considering a shear band thickness of 4.55mm, critical state was reached for the first time at a shear strain of 1648 % (75mm of shear displacement). As the gradation of #2Q-ROK sand evolved with shear displacement, its maximum and minimum void ratios decreased to 0.72 and 0.36, respectively (shear displacement of 11.3m). Sieve analyses combined with
particle morphology analyses indicated that larger particles were likely to be crushed by shearing-off of their asperities, whereas small particles, by
particle splitting.

▼ This thesis explores the self- and directed assembly of nanowires. Specifically, we examine the driving forces behind nanowire self-assembly and the macro-structures that are formed.
Particle-dense, oriented nanowire structures show promise in the fields of photonics, energy, and electronics. Arrays of spherical particles have already found uses in electronic inks, sensing arrays, and many other commercial applications; but, it is a challenge to create specific arrays of morphologically and/or compositionally anisotropic particles. The following chapters illuminate the interactions that drive the assembly of anisotropic particles in high density solutions in the absence of applied fields or solution drying. Special emphasis is placed on the structures that are formed.
The properties of micro- and nanoparticles and their assembly are introduced in Chapter 1. We began our studies by examining the assembly of single component nanowires. Chapter 2 describes this work, in which solid Au nanowires measuring 2-7 µm in length and 290 nm in diameter self-assembled into smectic rows. To increase the
particle and array complexity, two-component, metallic nanowire assembly was explored in Chapter 3. n an attempt to obtain better ordering within rows,
silica coated nanowires with partial Au cores were made. The synthesis involved
silica-coating the nanowires and selectively etching a Ag segment. These particles have extremely different VDWs attractions between their segments, as the Au cores are much more attractive than the solvent-filled etched ends. The assembly of these partially etched nanowires (PENs) is detailed in Chapters 4, 5, and 6. The semi-automated counting of PENs in images by software is used heavily in Chapters 4 and 5. Appendix A describes the use, development, and validation of macros within Image-Pro. Chapter 7 examines the overall conclusions and future directions for this research. By combining our assembly techniques with known directing forces (e.g., electric or magnetic fields) more specific alignment and/or positioning could be achieved. We have also begun to explore directing assembly through lithographic microwells. Further work needs to explore the integration of arrays into devices and the use of functional materials. Then, high density, oriented arrays could be created for photonic, energy, sensing, catalytic, and electronic applications.

▼ The natural world has many superhydrophobic and self-cleaning surfaces such as butterfly wings and lotus plant leaves, both well known examples of self-cleaning surfaces. Water droplets on these surfaces can pick up dirt particles and remove contamination. The significant self-cleaning ability of these surfaces has inspired many researchers to attempt to fabricate these superhydrophobic coatings, mimicking their self-cleaning properties, using different methods. Most of the superhydrophobic coatings described in current literature need to be cured in ovens and thus difficult to be applied and/or be maintained in the work place. Therefore, there is a need to develop room temperature curing superhydrophobic coatings using simple and inexpensive processes. This study demonstrates the fabrication of room temperature superhydrophobic coatings by using RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) silicone rubber and fluoropolyurethane polymers. Also the effects of various parameters such as resin and solvent type, additives, coatings thickness and production methods, on the properties of superhydrophobic coatings, were evaluated. The final coatings showed contact angles higher than 145º and good UV and water durability. In addition, the superhydrophobic RTV silicone rubber coatings passed the erosion and track resistance test, a major test for high voltage insulator coatings in the industry.Conductive coatings are used in a variety of applications such as antistatic surfaces, electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI) and sensors. Despite previous research, most conductive coatings in the market that have high conductivity are made from metallic conductive fillers that are expensive and need to be compounded with polymers in high concentrations. Also, conductive mesh coatings used in the market require a complex process and should be prepared with some different processing steps. This project focuses on conductive coatings and mesh coatings that show good conductivity and have low cost. The results indicated that nano clay could improve the electrical and mechanical properties of conductive coatings. Also, conductive mesh coatings prepared by emulsion method could be a good candidate to make simple and cheap mesh coatings for electromagnetic shielding.

▼ Mussel adhesive proteins contain catechol moiety, which allows the protein to crosslinked, solidify, and adhere to surrounding surfaces even under wet conditions. Incorporating the catechol moiety into polymeric adhesive resulted in bioadhesive, which still functions under wet conditions. However, the adhesive must be oxidized in order to crosslink and adhere to surfaces. The oxidation process of catechol adhesive was proven to produce singlet oxygen, superoxide, and hydrogen peroxide (H
2O
2). These reactive oxygen species, with lack of control, can wreak havoc to the biological system causing poor healing and undesired biological response.
Here, we studied the
silica particle system as a means to control H
2O
2 concentration. After an exploratory investigation on
silica particle synthesis and modification, acid-treated
silica particle (AHSi) was developed with a highly hydrophilic surface. We then explore the use of reinforcement phase incorporation, creating
particle-adhesive composites and studied the effect which the
particle incorporation imparts into the adhesives. The model adhesive is polyethylene glycol functionalized with glutaric acid and dopamine, creating a biodegradable adhesive hydrogel. We demonstrated that incorporation of a model
particle,
silica particle, into a catechol adhesive resulting in a mechanically stronger adhesive with an increase in stiffness, adhesion strength, and structural integrity even after partially degraded. Moreover, the composite adhesive was gelled faster and degrade slower than native PEG-DA adhesive. The composite also demonstrated a reduction in the concentration of H
2O
2. The
particle not only reduces H
2O
2 but also found to be releasing soluble
silica in a biologically relevant concentration further improve their bioreactivity. The
silica nanoparticle incorporated catechol-based composite demonstrated a reduction in cytotoxicity on rat dermal fibroblast, human keratinocyte, and human tenocyte, three types of cells that react differently to elevated oxidative stress.
Interestingly, all cell types have demonstrated an increase in cell proliferation, raising the possibility of developing the composite adhesive further. The last part of the study involved a prediction model that helps narrow down the formulation to be tested in vivo. Full-thickness dermal wound model in mice was utilized to study the predicted formulation. The results from the animal model suggested that PEG adhesive alone can alter the biological response with accelerated wound healing. However, the incorporation of AHSi proved to successfully bridge the gap between accelerated wound healing and better wound remodeling. This dissertation describes various strategies used to tune the H
2O
2 concentration released from catechol adhesives to tune its biological response which involved
silica particle modification with minimal change in chemical composition, and the selection of adhesive…

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Silica particles are used in many applications from engineering such as catalysis and coatings, to medical sciences such as drug delivery. Although silica sources can be found naturally, they are impure and lack desirable functionalities. To overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, the synthesis of silica particles via liquid phase techniques has become more popular. However, it has been shown that it is more beneficial to use less harsh chemicals such as trimethoxymethylsilane (TMOMS) as the silica precursor and polyethyleneimine (PEI) as the catalyst in a phosphate buffer (PB) solution, to form PEI-silica particles. Compared to the conventional Stöber method, these particles are formed more quickly in a less toxic environment. This method produces hydrophobic particles whose surface charge is positive over a wide range of pH. A positive surface charge and/or hydrophobicity generally enhances the selectivity of the PEI-silica particles, which makes the PEI-silica particles good candidates in targeted separation processes. This thesis focuses on the basics of the formation of PEI-silica particles and their characteristics. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), zeta potential, viscometry and gravimetry measurements, as well as time-lapse photography were used for characterisation. First, a general mechanism for the formation of PEI-silica particles was proposed. Three regions in the formation of silica particles were observed: nucleation, growth and equilibrium. The results showed that when particle synthesis was carried out in phosphate buffer solutions some of the PB molecules were likely to be associated with PEI and formed PEI/PB nuclei. Then, these nuclei grew into small particles called “primary particles”, which then aggregated and formed larger PEI-silica particles. In this work, the extent of each region as well as the final particle size were shown to be a function of TMOMS and PEI concentration. By developing a new semi-empirical equation using mass balance and reaction rate equations, the growth and equilibrium regions of PEI-silica particle formation were successfully modelled. In fact, by assuming the existence of different particle generations the peaks and trough in the DLS data were successfully modelled. Having studied the growth and equilibrium, the nucleation region still needed to be further investigated. In the investigation on the nuclei properties, it was found that when PB was not present, silica gel formed instead of particles at pH 10-11. In addition, when PEI was highly charged (pH below 9) there was no visible reaction suggesting silication did not occur. Finally, the effect of mixing on PEI-silica particles was probed. Three modes of mixing were considered: no mixing, mixing by sonication and mixing by magnetic stirring. The results show that the final particle size and their distribution were affected by the mixing modes and…

Experimental Study of Patterns in Hydrodynamically Deposited Dispersed Phase of CaCO3 on Surfaces of Straight Cylindrica Silica Tubing.

▼ Deposition of dispersed phase from flowing dispersions onto a substrate surface is of utmost relevance for various industrial processes like fouling of sparingly soluble salts, such as CaCO3 and CaSO4 in heat exchangers and desalination evaporators which tend to form deposits on flow surfaces of tubes or pipelines conveying hard water and in water filtration and purification processes since concentration of CaCO3 in many natural water resources is equal to or greater than the saturation level. The study of deposition is also of intrinsic interest for biophysics and colloid science where vascular calcification i.e. precipitation and deposition of calcium phosphates (hydroxyapatites) in the muscular layer of the blood reduces arterial compliance and promotes congestive heart failure. Experiments were conducted on straight, circular cross section
silica tubing of inner di-ameter (ranging from 0.88 mm to3.40 mm) to study the effect of electrostatic interaction and hydrodynamics on the deposition behavior of CaCO3 on
silica surface when streams of aqueous solutions of Ca(NO3)2 and Na2CO3 with a concentration of 40.0 g l−1 and
25.9gl−1 respectively flowing at a volumetric flow rate of 1 l h−1 each is mixed to form CaCO3 dispersion which was then transported through
silica tubing at a steady volumetric flow rate of 2lh−1. The in situ phenomenology of CaCO3 particles transport, deposition, and evolution of spatial and temporal patterns of the CaCO3 deposition on the
silica surface along with the dendritic growth of CaCO3 during the flow was visually documented with the aid of a 100X optical microscope.
The study discussed the deposition behavior of dispersed phase of CaCO3 from its aqueous dispersion on the
silica tubing during flow and attributed charge inversion from negative to positive of
silica surface, due to the adsorption of Na+ formed during precipitation reaction of CaCO3, as a plausible reason for the reversal of electrostatic interaction from attraction between initially negatively charged
silica surface and positively charged CaCO3 particles which promoted deposition and subsequent evolution of patterns of CaCO3 deposition on the
silica surface during the early stage of experiments to repulsion between finally net positively charged
silica surface and positively charged CaCO3 particles which resulted in retarded deposition and subsequent emergence of sparsely adhered CaCO3 agglomerates as localized, limited patches of CaCO3 deposits on the
silica surface during the later stage of the experiments

▼ There is a clear need for affordable point-of-care diagnostics, especially in vulnerable low- and middle-income countries where access to laboratory-based testing is limited. This thesis explores whether recombinant protein technology in combination with a low-cost support matrix could provide a basis for an inexpensive, simple, and robust production process for the bio-sensing element of a diagnostic that would be amenable to manufacture in resource constrained settings. Silica was selected as the solid support for this work, given its biocompatibility and wide-availability (including extraction from natural sources, like sand, as demonstrated here).
By employing an affinity binding sequence for silica in fusion with the central assay reagent protein targeting the analyte, simultaneous isolation and immobilisation onto silica carrier particles was achieved directly from lysate. In addition, the incorporation of a coloured fluorescent protein in the fusion enabled the protein production and immobilisation to be followed visually without significant laboratory equipment.
Diagnostic sensing activity was retained in the immobilised fusion proteins, even over two months at 20-22 ⁰C in a dried state. A comparable limit of detection was achieved with immobilised reagents as with the soluble form. Taken together with the reduced downstream processing attained by a one-step purification and immobilisation approach, this supports the use of particle-bound reagents in the development of point-of-care tests.
To make use of the particle-bound reagents, a novel falling particle biosensor design was explored in this thesis, where the sedimentation of the silica particles was used to drive mixing in an otherwise stationary fluid compartment. The performance of this design was compared against two other formats commonly employed with bio-functionalised particles – (A) a simple suspension in a microcentrifuge tube and (B) a packed bed in a microfluidic channel. The falling particle device outperformed both formats.
Overall, this work has demonstrated that the integrated functionality of the fusion proteins could facilitate a production pathway from raw material to end diagnostic, highlighting the use of silica as a protein carrier and presenting a novel biosensor format for utilizing particle-bound enzymes.

▼ Introduction: Cellular therapies require methods for noninvasive visualization
of transplanted cells. Micron-sized iron oxide particles (MPIO) generate a
strong contrast in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and are therefore ideally
suited as an intracellular contrast agent to image cells under clinical
conditions. However, MPIO were previously not applicable for clinical use.
Here, we present the development and evaluation of
silica-based micron-sized
iron oxide particles (sMPIO) with a functionalizable
particle surface.
Materials and Methods: Particles with magnetite content of > 40 % were
composed using the sol- gel process. The
particle surfaces were covered with
COOH groups. Fluorescein, poly- L- lysine (PLL), and streptavidin (SA) were
covalently attached. Monodisperse sMPIO had an average size of 1.18 µm and an
iron content of about 1.0 pg iron/
particle.
Particle uptake, toxicity, and
imaging studies were performed using HuH7 cells and human and rat hepatocytes.
Results: sMPIO enabled rapid cellular labeling within 4 h of incubation; PLL-
modified particles had the highest uptake. In T2*- weighted 3.0 Tesla MRI, the
detection threshold in agarose was 1000 labeled cells, whereas in T1-weighted
LAVA sequences, at least 10000 cells were necessary to induce sufficient
contrast. Labeling was stable and had no adverse effects on labeled cells.
Conclusion:
Silica is a biocompatible material that has been approved for
clinical use. sMPIO could therefore be suitable for future clinical
applications in cellular MRI, especially in settings that require strong
cellular contrast. Moreover, the
particle surface provides the opportunity to
create multifunctional particles for targeted delivery and diagnostics.

▼ Ink absorption performance in inkjet receptive coatings containing synthetic zeolite pigments was studied. Coating pigment pore and
particle size distribution are the key parameters that influence in modifying media surface properties, thus affecting the rate of ink penetration and drying time (Schölkopf, et al. 2004). The primary objective of this study was: (1) to investigate the synthetic zeolite pigment effects on inkjet ink absorption, dynamic contact angle and printability, and (2) to evaluate these novel synthetic zeolite pigments in replacing the fumed
silica pigments in conventional inkjet receptive coatings.
In this research study, single pigment coating formulations (in equal P:B ratio) were prepared using microporous synthetic zeolite pigments (5A, Organophilic and 13X) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) binder. The laboratory-coated samples were characterized for absorption, air permeance, roughness, drying time, wettability and print fidelity.
Based on the rheological data, it was found that the synthetic zeolite formulated coatings depicted a Newtonian flow behavior at low shear; while the industry accepted fumed
silica based coatings displayed a characteristically high pseudoplastic flow behavior. Our coated samples generated using microporous synthetic zeolite pigments produced low absorption, reduced wettability and accelerated ink drying characteristics. These characteristics were caused due to the synthetic zeolite pigments, which resulted in relatively closed surface structure coated samples. The research suggested that no single selected synthetic zeolite coating performed better than the conventional fumed
silica based coatings. Experimental data also showed that there was no apparent relationship between synthetic zeolite pigment pore sizes and inkjet ink absorption.
For future research, above coated samples should be evaluated for pore size distribution using Mercury Porosimeter, which quantifies surface porosity of coated samples. This presented approach can be easily used for investigating other such microporous coating pigments in formulating inkjet receptive coating. The research findings will benefit the coating formulators, engineers and material science students, in understanding the absorption characteristics of selected synthetic zeolite pigments thereby encouraging them in identifying other such alternative pigments in conventional inkjet receptive coatings.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
In our energy conscious world, magnetic separation provides a facile, low energy technique offering low operating costs, high yield and ease of operation. For nonmagnetic materials, their specific adsorption onto magnetic carrier particles allows those materials to be separated via the application of magnetic fields. Magnetic core – silica shell particles are ideally posed as magnetic carrier particles combining the magnetism offered by the core with an easily functionalised silica shell which provides adsorption selectivity. However, the fabrication of magnetic core-shell carrier particles reported in the literature often involve high temperatures, long reaction times, harsh reaction conditions and/or complex, multi-step methodologies, and, therefore, prove difficult to effectively scale up. Biomimetic silication, utilising the branched, polyamine, polyethyleneimine (PEI), as a scaffolding/silication directing molecule, was identified as a promising avenue for silica shell fabrication. In addition, a novel facile method of silica particle synthesis (NaOH-silica synthesis), requiring only two reactants, trimethoxymethylsilane (TMOMS) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), was developed and characterised in this work. Functionalisation of the silica shell material is vital to achieve selective adsorption. The PEI-directed silication method, focused on in this work, introduces intrinsic amine (for PEI-silica) and amine/thiol functionalisations (for PEI-thiol silica) with the silane reactants, TMOMS and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (3mPTMOS), respectively. Control of the surface charge of NaOH-silica particles was achieved via the rapid electrostatic adsorption and acidic desorption of the PEI. In addition, a technique for the more permanent, covalent surface modification of the PEI-thiol silica particles utilised the thiol surface groups to covalently attach various surface modifiers to the particle surface. Successful surface modification was confirmed by Fourier transfer infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and zeta potential measurements. The results from these studies convey rapid, reliable techniques for reversible and irreversible silica surface functionalisation. PEI-silica particle synthesis was adapted for coating micron-sized magnetic carbonyl iron cores, to develop the magnetic core-shell carrier particles. The PEI-silica coated carbonyl iron particles were characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy. Varying the fabrication method and silane concentration successfully tuned the shell characteristics. Methods using sonication produced smooth, more evenly distributed coatings with a tendency towards multicore particles. In contrast, raspberry-like coatings were produced via slow reactant addition, one- and two-pot methods. The PEI-silica coating methodology was scaled up by factors of 10 and 50 to investigate the effect of increased reaction size on the core-shell particles produced. The scaled…

Functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for applications in drug delivery and catalysis.

▼ Well-ordered mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) feature a great number of important characteristics including large surface area and pore volume, tunable pore diameter, uniform particle size, and good biocompatibility. The feasibility of selective functionalization on the exterior and interior surface of MSNs makes them applicable in areas as diverse as sorption, separation, sensing, drug delivery, and catalysis.
Poly(L-lysine) was immobilized onto the outer surface of amine functionalized MSN via ring-opening polymerization. The poly(L-lysine) coated MSN (PLL-MSN) could be internalized by human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells with extremely high efficiency, which made the delivery of a large amount of drugs into cells possible. The release of the drugs was regulated by the degradation of poly(L-lysine). Trypsin, an enzyme abundant in the intestine where most molecules are absorbed by human body, could digest poly(L-lysine) and open the pore channels of PLL-MSN. On the other hand, pepsin, an enzyme that accumulates in the stomach, had no impact on poly(L-lysine) and therefore the loaded drugs could be kept inside the pore channels and protected from acid-induced hydrolysis. We envision that PLL-MSN has great potential as an oral drug delivery vehicle.
MSNs were also used as catalyst supports in cellulose degradation reactions. We have synthesized a series of platinum nanoparticle immobilized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Pt NP-MSNs) by using N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl (AAP) and 3-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino]propyl (AEP) functionalized MSNs as solid supports. Platinum nanoparticles were anchored on the MSNs by complexation between the Pt precursor and surface amine groups followed by hydrogen reduction. Pt NP-MSNs successfully catalyzed the conversion of cellulose into valuable polyols: sorbitol and mannitol and could be recycled at least three times under optimized reaction conditions.
In order to expand the applications of MSN, a series of organofunctionalized large pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (LPMSNs) were synthesized via the co-condensation method under acidic conditions using a triblock copolymer (P104) as the structure-directing agent. The hydrothermal temperature, the amount of organosilanes, and the sequence of reagent additions were optimized to yield functionalized LPMSN with large pore size and well-controlled particle morphology. The sulfonic acid functionalized silica synthesized under optimum conditions showed better catalytic performance than traditional sulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 in esterification reactions.
A mesoporous aluminum silicate (Al-MS) material has been synthesized via co-condensation by using NaAlO2 as aluminum source under basic conditions. The aluminum was tetrahedrally coordinated throughout Al-MS and, for the first time, the quantity of the surface aluminum sites was determined by solid-state NMR studies. The silicon to aluminum atomic ratios at the surface and in the bulk were around 100 and 60, respectively; indicating less chemically accessible aluminum…

▼ This thesis involves the study of dust particles trapped in silica aerogel for fusion dust diagnostics purpose. The low velocity impact experiments are done by implanting predefined dust particles into silica aerogel by using a springpiston air gun. The impact experiment results show that the hypervelocity impact model may not suitable for describing the fusion characteristic dust particles. The samples made by impact experiment are analyzed by ion microbeam analysis methods: Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and Particle-induced X-ray Emission spectrometry (PIXE). The elements of dust particles are well identified by the X-ray spectra. The X-ray maps clearly show the dust shape. RBS and NRA spectra of an individual particle or a specific region show the depth information of the trapped particles, which is useful for determining the dust velocities. For the interpretation of ion beam analysis result, simulation of dust particles for RBS and NRA are done. The accessible depth for ion beam analysis in silica aerogel can be several hundred micrometers, which is adequate for dust diagnostics.

▼ Cell infiltration is one of the most important characteristics of a degradable and bioactive biomaterial. Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), as one of the most commonly used polymer in medicine, also faces such problems. This issue also prevalence in PEG derivatives such as poly (ethylene glycol)-glutaric acid-dopamine (PEG-GA-DM) which is a versatile bioadhesive. As a promising bioadhesive system that can be used and modified to suit various type of applications, modification to overcome cellular infiltration and degradation issues will help further expand the usefulness of the material in tissue repair application. The degradation issue is already preliminary solved by introducing ester linkage through carboxylic acid functionalization via glutaric acid incorporation. However, the resulting degradation rate is still not ideal. To further modify the porosity, pore structure, and degradation rate of the polymer, various types of non-crystalline
silica particles were introduced into the polymer network. The benefit of including
silica particles into the gel system may not limited only to the degradation and pore structure. One of the most interesting effects that this ceramic material may contain is its ability to release
silica byproduct, specifically hydrolyzed
silica or orthosilicic acid. Orthosilicic acid was proved to positively affect collagenous extracellular matrix formation as well as improves keratin and collagen based organ’s health. Using various formulations, a number of PEG-GA-DA and
silica composite improvements were investigated. The silica’s contributions to a number of changes include shortened gelation time, increased mechanical strength, faster initial degradation, higher structural stability after degradation, and, ultimately, change in porous structure. It is interesting that PEG-GA-DA
silica composite not only provided improvement for the PEG network but also provide benefit for innate property of
silica particle. With silicic acid as degraded product, the composite also facilitates extracellular matrix formation as well as therapeutic macrophages recruitment.

▼ The dissertation herein
reports heterogeneous catalysis studies conducted on two different
projects, (1) Hydrodechlorination of trichloroethylene and (2)
Ethanol steam reforming. The former is associated with the process
for trichloroethylene waste treatment and groundwater remediation
technology whereas the latter pertains to hydrogen production. The
presented work involves not only investigations on the catalytic
activity, but also fundamental studies to understand how and why a
catalyst works for a particular reaction. This dissertation is
composed of two major parts.<b>(1) Part I
(Chapter 1-4):</b> Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a chlorinated
hydrocarbon solvent which has been widely used as a vapor degreaser
for metal cleaning. TCE contains high level of toxicity, also known
as a carcinogen. Recently, contamination of groundwater due to
untreated TCE is a rapidly rising environmental issue, affecting
the drinking water quality. The current waste treatment process for
removal of TCE are mostly based on adsorption and extraction
techniques. However, these processes do not provide a complete
destruction of the TCE chemical structure; hence, it requires an
additional incinerator to convert TCE into non harmful products.
Hydrodechlorination (HDC) of TCE is a catalytic chemical reaction
where TCE is converted to ethane and hydrochloric acid using
hydrogen as a reducing agent. The treatment is a single step
process, also can be performed <i>in situ</i> in
groundwater. The most extensively used catalysts for this reaction
are based on Pd metal. The main purpose of this study is to
investigate the catalytic activity and stability of Pd supported on
swellable organically modified
silica (SOMS) for HDC of TCE. SOMS
is a highly hydrophobic and adsorptive material. The material was
recently developed and was reported in the literature. An
interesting characteristic of SOMS is “swelling”, i.e., the volume
of SOMS expands while adsorbing organics. The expansion of SOMS
leads to generation of new pores thereby increasing its pore volume
and surface area. When SOMS is treated with heat, contraction of
SOMS occurs resulting a decrease in volume to its original size.
Another important characteristic is its high hydrophobicity. It was
deduced that Pd/SOMS showed promising catalytic activity compared
to commercial
Pd/Al
2O
3 in liquid
phase HDC of TCE. This was attributed to the adsorptive and
swelling properties of Pd/SOMS and its hydrophobicity, which helped
to concentrate the TCE reactants in the vicinity of the active Pd
sites. The increase in concentration near the active sites resulted
in better kinetics for HDC reaction obtaining high TCE conversion.
Furthermore, the strong hydrophobicity of SOMS helped to secure the
Pd sites from ionic poisons such as sulfur and chlorine containing
groups without losing its catalytic activity, e.g., when Pd/SOMS
and Pd/Al
2O
3 was
treated with 1 M HCl, Pd/SOMS retained its catalytic performance
whereas Pd/Al
2O
3…

▼ Dielectric colloids with asymmetric metal shells (Janus particles) have attracted much attention over the years. Their unique properties enable the application in versatile areas. One of the potential application fields is as an adhesion promoter between a dielectric surface and a metal; where one side of the colloid can chemically interact with a polymer substrate, while the other side contains a metal that can directly catalyze the electroless deposition process. In this work, challenges in the fabrication of asymmetric
silica colloids with different metallic semishell coatings were investigated; and for the first time, a facile route was found towards the synthesis of large quantities of
silica Janus particles with tunable metal shells and thicknesses. First, monodisperse
silica particles in sizes ranging from 60–1900 nm in diameter were synthesized as starting materials. Since they were stored as a dry powder, different ultrasonic devices and sonication times were used to deagglomerate the colloids into their initial
particle sizes with low polydispersity in a stable solution. Then, the influence of different reaction conditions was tested for binding a monolayer of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) molecules on the
silica colloids in ethanol. The surface functionalization can be enhanced by the presence of a catalyst or an increase in reaction time, or temperature because the reaction is in a thermodynamic equilibrium in protic solvents. An environmental and industrial friendly approach was introduced to synthesize
silica particles with one monolayer of APTES. The number of amino groups on the surface was quantified by converting the accessible amino moieties into UV-Vis detectable species with a ninhydrin assay for all colloid sizes, and the C/H/N elemental analysis was used for smaller diameters. Subsequently,
silica Janus particles were successfully synthesized with high mass yields (50―70%) when the surfactants didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were present during the preparation of the
particle-wax colloidosomes. Even a small concentration of the surfactant was sufficient to improve the mass yield. The radius of gyration of the surfactants was used to calculate the area that the molecules occupy on the
silica surface. It was possible to manufacture single colloidosomes with closed-packed monolayers of
silica particles on the wax surface. The
silica colloids, embedded in wax, were grafted with a monolayer of APTES in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) after reacting for 1 h at 0 °C. Two characterization methods were successfully applied to compare the ratio of grafted and non-grafted area of the
silica spheres, the so-called Janus balance. Metal layers were regio-selectively deposited onto the APTES spheres, and the corresponding shell coverage degrees were calculated from the corresponding SEM images. Additionally, the amine density at the surface was quantified with the ninhydrin assay. Both methods demonstrate for both surfactants that the Janus balance…

▼ Die chemische Verwitterung von Silikatmineralen ist ein Hauptbestandteil des globalen Silizium-Kreislaufs und resultiert in einem der fundamentalen Bausteine der Bio- und Geosphäre der Erde:
Silica-Nanopartikel (<1 µm) aus amorphem, hydratisiertem SiO2 (Opal-A). Amorphe Nanopartikel sind allgegenwärtig in der Natur und werden zunehmend als essenzielle Vorläufer für die Carbonat- und Phosphatkristallisation und anschließende Wachstumsprozesse in natürlichen Systemen identifiziert. Allerdings bilden nur abiogene
Silica-Nanopartikel röntgenamorphe, dreidimensional-periodische Gitter-anordnungen. Seit der ersten mikromorphologischen Beschreibung von Opal-A in den frühen 1960er Jahren wird angenommen, dass Wachstum und Ordnung uniformer Nanopartikel in sedimentären Umgebungen durch einen Gelierungsprozess und gravitative Ablagerung in einer stagnierenden Lösung ablaufen. Diese Annahme gilt für Hohlraumfüllungen und Pseudomorphosen. Bislang mangelt es jedoch an direkten Beobachtungen, um diesen elementaren Schritt im
Silica-Bildungsprozess zu belegen. Ebenfalls ungeklärt sind die Prozesse, welche der frühdiagenetischen Umwandlung von metastabilem, amorphem
Silica zu höherkristallinen opalinen Phasen zugrunde liegen.
Um die Prozesse zu untersuchen, die das röntgenamorphe Silicasystem von einem ungeordneten in einen geordneten Zustand überführen, untersuche ich in dieser Arbeit Opal-A Hohlraumfüllungen und Pseudomorphosen aus chemisch tiefenverwitterten Sedimentgesteinen des Great Artesian Basin (Zentralaustralien). Durch eine Kombination hochauflösender Elektronenmikroskopie, Nanotomographie, Elektronenstrahlmikrosondenanalytik, Mikroröntgenbeugung und Mikro-Ramanspektroskopie war es möglich, die Struktur und chemische Zusammensetzung von abiogenem, amorphem
Silica präzise zu charakterisieren. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt auf, welche grundlegenden Ordnungsprozesse auf der atomaren und kolloidalen Skala identifiziert wurden. Diese Ergebnisse bilden die Grundlage für neue, kohärente Modelle der Ordnungsprozesse eines natürlichen, amorphen Materials, auf dem Weg von dispergierten Partikeln zu echten Einkristallen.
In Muschelschalen, Dehnungsrissen und Cherts ersetzen
Silica-Nanosphären Dolomit und verzwillingten Calcit mittels eines grenzflächenkontrollierten Lösungs-Fällungs-Prozesses. Elektronen-mikroskopie und Nanotomographie zeigen, dass während dieses Prozesses kristalline Strukturen durch kontinuierliche Nanopartikelnukleation, -aggregation und Anordnung in einer kubisch dichtesten Kugelpackung (fcc) gebildet werden. Die dichtest-gepackten Netzebenen dieser geordneten Partikel-aggregate stimmen mit den thermodynamisch stabilsten Calcitflächen überein. Ich folgere in einem neuen Modell, dass der Ersetzungsprozess einem nanopartikel-basierten, nichtklassischen Kristallisationspfad folgt. Darüber hinaus zeigen Elektronen- und Durchlichtmikroskopie, dass die makroskopischen Eigenschaften von Opal-A Hohlraumfüllungen direkt mit strömungsinduzierten mikromorphologischen Merkmalen korrelieren.

▼ Gels are weak, solid-like structures that arise when colloidal particles aggregate to form a network of particle clusters. A variety of colloidal systems that are important scientifically as well as in industrial applications are capable of gel formation, e.g. globular protein solutions, colloid-polymer mixtures, and metal oxides. Yet, the mechanisms of the gelation process are far from understood, and the investigation of the aggregation and gelation of colloidal dispersions is, therefore, of great importance. Especially, the size distribution and structure of the aggregates are known to affect the gelation, and the main focus of this thesis is to improve our understanding of the initial aggregate formation in concentrated silica dispersions.
The electrospray-scanning mobility particle sizer (ES-SMPS) technique has previously been demonstrated to be a valuable method for size distribution analysis of pure colloidal dispersions. Here, the ES-SMPS method was used to monitor the size distribution variation during electrolyte induced slow aggregation of concentrated silica dispersions. Number size distributions provide information about the primary particles as well as the formed aggregates. The influence of the ion specificity, as well as three initial particle morphologies, on the aggregation behaviour was investigated. Moreover, the aggregate diameters obtained by the ES-SMPS method were compared to the those obtained by other techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and in situ small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS).
The initial aggregate formation could be monitored accurately using the ES-SMPS method and compact, nearly spherical aggregates were observed for two of the initial morphologies. It was concluded that these resulted from a dynamic aggregation process where the aggregates broke and reformed several times prior to the gelation. More elongated aggregates were observed in the third dispersion; these aggregates were more rapidly stabilized by interparticle bonds and formed the most stable gel structures. The surface properties of the particles were found to affect the aggregate structure.
Clear ion specific effects were observed; the most stable aggregates were formed in the presence of the least hydrated alkali ions, whereas the rate of gel stability increase was faster in the presence of the more strongly hydrated ions. As expected, the alkali ions adsorbed according to the direct Hofmeister sequence.
A gel layer on the silica particle surfaces was identified for all dispersions investigated. The thickness of these layers were estimated using different techniques and found to be 2-4 nm thick depending on the dispersion.
Subjects/Keywords: Colloidal silica dispersion; aggregation; gelation; electrospray (ES); scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS); synchrotron radiation small-angle x-ray scattering (SR-SAXS); electron microscopy (EM); dynamic light scattering (DLS); particle morphology; ion specificity; gel layer

▼ Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) emitted from arc welding poses serious health risks to workers exposed to welding fumes in occupational settings. Stainless steel gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW) produce aerosols that contain Cr6+, nickel, manganese, and gaseous pollutants such as ozone and nitrogen oxides (NOx) that lead to a number of respiratory and neurological ailments as well as cancer. Traditional welding technologies employ shield gas or material incorporated into the welding wire to minimize fume formation. However, significant amounts of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are generated during gas shielded welding processes. In this study, tetraethyloxysilane (TEOS) and tetramethylsilane (TMS) were added to GTAW and GMAW shield gas to provide a two-fold approach at controlling HAPs produced during stainless steel welding.
Silica precursors acted as reducing agents when they decomposed in the high temperature welding arc, thereby limiting ozone and Cr6+ formation. Additionally, an amorphous film of
silica (SiO2) was deposited on welding fume particles. This film insulated the aerosols, preventing subsequent oxidation of surface chromium and masking the toxic effects of all of the metals contained in the particles. Cr6+ in GTAW fumes was reduced by 45% when 26.3% of the shield gas was used as TEOS carrier gas. A 53% reduction in NOx emissions was observed, indicating a reduction in reactive oxygen species. Tranmission electron microscope (TEM) imagery showed a film of SiO2 on welding fume particles. The SiO2 film could insulate GTAW aerosols, masking the toxic effects of all metals within the fume particles. Experimental results demonstrated that total shield gas flow rate impacted the effectiveness of TMS as a GMAW shield gas additive. Low shield gas flow rates led to premature thermal decomposition of TMS and no observable change in Cr6+ mass in fumes. Increasing shield gas flow rate led to significant reductions in Cr6+ mass when TMS was used. When 4.2% of the 30 liter per minute (Lpm) shield gas flow rate was used as TMS carrier gas, Cr6+ mass in GMAW fumes was reduced by at least 92.9%. Adding TMS to GMAW shield gas increased fume
particle size beyond the nanometer range in all shield gas flow rates tested. Geometric mean
particle size increased from 40-60 nanometers (nm) under baseline conditions to 180-300 nm when TMS was added. SiO2 particles formed from decomposition of
silica precursors scavenged nanoparticles through intercoagulation. TEM imagery provided visual evidence of an amorphous film of SiO2 on some fume particles along with the presence of large amorphous SiO2 agglomerates. These results showed that vapor phase sorbents may be capable of reducing the health risks posed by welding fumes through elimination of nanoparticles and reduction of Cr6+. ( en )

▼ O estudo da adsorção de membranas-modelo na superficie de partículas sólidas é uma importante linha de pesquisa em áreas científicas que estão em rápido desenvolvimento tais como o desenvolvimento de biosensores, a construção de kits imunológicos ou o design de materiais biocompatíveis. Neste trabalho foram analisadas sob o ponto de vista físico-químico, as interações entre partículas coloidais de sílica hidrofilica e lipossomos catiônicos de brometo de dioctadecildimetilamônio (DODAB). O desafio de romper a estrutura rígida fechada de lipossomos quando em contato com partículas de sílica foi contornado com o uso de dispersões de brometo dioctadecildimetilamônio (DODAB) compostas de fragmentos nanométricos abertos de bicamadas ao invés de vesículas. Em baixa força iônica e pH 6.5, a adsorção de DODAB a partir de fragmentos de bicamadas de DODAB (BF) sobre sílica hidrofilica foi quantificada por isotermas de adsorção a 0,0.1, 0.5 e 1.0mM de KCl ou TRIS-HCI. A adsorção de DODAB aumentou em função da concentração de sal. Como a literatura de titulações potenciométricas de sílica para determinação de carga superficial das partículas forneceu cargas superficiais em diversas condições experimentais de pH e força iônica (Tadros e Lyklema, 1968), foi possível estabelecer a relação entre adsorção de bicamadas catiônicas de DODAB e a densidade superficial de carga sobre a sílica. Houve um aumento monotônico de adsorção à medida que a densidade de carga da partícula aumentava. lsotermas de adsorção apresentaram formas típicas de adsorção competitiva com um máximo seguido de uma diminuição da adsorção em função da concentração de DODAB no sobrenadante. Esses perfis sugeriram que a atração hidrofóbica entre BF adsorvidos e livres poderia estar reduzindo a adsorção sobre a superficie da partícula. A adsorção de DODAB BF sobre a sílica aparentemente não conduziria a um recobrimento como bicamada contínua sobre a partícula, estando os BF adsorvidos ainda disponíveis para interação através de suas bordas hidrofóbicas com os fragII}entos livres em dispersão. Em pH 6.5, ao longo de uma faixa de concentração de DODAB (O- 1.0mM)e de KCl (0.1 - 10.0mM), a partir da medição dos tamanhos de partícula, análise dos potenciais-zeta, fotografias das misturas e cinéticas de sedimentação de partículas, pôde-se concluir que a estabilidade coloidal das partículas nas misturas foi governada pelo fator R, que é a relação de áreas superficiais totais para bicamadas Ab e partículas Ap, R= Ab/Ap. Em R - 0.5, o potencial-zeta médio (Ç) foi zero, o diâmetro médio de partícula (Dz) foi máximo, a sedimentação foi rápida e a estabilidade coloidal foi mínima; em R> 1, o çmedido foi positivo, Dz foi mínimo, a sedimentação não ocorreu e a estabilidade coloidal foi máxima. Em baixa força iônica, foi alcançada uma alta estabilidade coloidal de partículas na presença de fragmentos de bicamadas catiônicas para valores de R iguais ou maiores que 1.
The study of adsorption of model-membranes on the surface of solid partic1es is an important line of research in…

▼ The aim of this Ph.D. work is to investigate the quartz related factors that affect the mechanical properties of porcelain as well as the mechanisms that control the development of high mechanical strength. The studied range of values for each factor was focused οn the range that is used in industrial practice. In this context, the effect of filler grain size, quartz content, firing temperature and time on the physical and mechanical properties of a sanitaryware porcelain has been studied. The results are being discussed in respect to the three suggested theories on porcelain strength (i.e. matrix reinforcement theory, dispersion strengthening theory, mullite hypothesis). The investigation has been carried out by using the Taguchi method for experimental design. It is shown that quartz grain size is the most important factor regarding porcelain strength. It influences strength in two ways: directly by inducing compressive stresses to the vitreous phase and indirectly through the development of a favorable microstructure. It is shown that two perquisites have to be met in order to achieve high bending strength. These are a well developed microstructure and a high direct effect of quartz. Both are met for bodies containing quartz grains in the range 5-20 μm. These bodies exhibited ~30% higher strength than the reference industrial porcelain. The results do not confirm the mullite and the dispersion strengthening hypothesis. On the other hand the matrix reinforcement theory and the mechanism that quartz grains retard crack propagation agree with the results. Subsequently, the work is focused on the direct effect of quartz on strength. The aim is to study the direct effect as a function of quartz grain size and content without the interference of the indirect effect. Silica fume (SF) is used in order to achieve dense microstructure with varying quartz content and grain size. The results showed that SF enhances sintering allowing the development of a dense microstructure even when coarse quartz is used. Strength is increased in the cases which sintering would be incomplete, without the addition of SF. However, when the microstructure is adequate dense, increasing the SF content reduces strength. It is also shown that increasing the levels of quartz grain size and content results in increased strength. However, after a certain point, further increase of coarse quartz content results in strength reduction due to the induction of flaws around the quartz grains.

▼ Phase transitions in minerals are transformations naturally occurring when environmental conditions, such as pressure and temperature, change. So, studying their evolution means to understand the modifications of the physical and structural properties of a compound, which can be controlled through industrial processes and exploited in technological applications.
On this ground, the present thesis is divided into two big sectors of material science: after a short overview on the basic theory of thermodynamics and kinetics (Part I), the first branch deals with traditional ceramics (Part II), where interest is focused on quartz-cristobalite-tridymite-involving reactions; after that, the field of functional ceramics is discussed in Part III, analysing the behaviour at the nano scale of two widely studied technological materials: the half-doped La and Ca manganite and the tetragonal zirconia stabilized at room temperature by size reduction.
All these subjects of study are treated considering the effect of varying the
particle size. It is well known,
indeed, that reactions are promoted when particles have a greater surface to volume ratio. Therefore, when investigating phase transitions, solid state reactivity and kinetics must reflect the effect of the reduction of grain size. Knowing the mechanisms and the behaviour of materials undergoing high or low temperature processes is essential for industrial procedures to be developed. Thus, phase transitions of the cited compounds are here discussed, in the light of three completely different but complementary approaches: X-Ray Powder Diffraction, performing both reciprocal-space and real-space refinements, and Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy, investigating the elastic and anelastic properties of the material of interest.

▼ Des polymères à base de méthacrylate de poly(oxyde d'éthylène) (PEOMA) avec des chaînes pendantes PEO (Mn = 300 ou 950 g mol-1) ou des copolymères de PEOMA300 et d'acide méthacrylique (AMA) ont été synthétisés par polymérisation radicalaire contrôlée par les nitroxydes en utilisant une alkoxyamine (BlocBuilder®) comme amorceur en présence de SG1 et d'une faible quantité de styrène. Les copolymères à base de PEOMA300 et d'AMA sont thermo- et pH-sensibles. Les deux types de macroalkoxyamines ont été utilisés pour amorcer la copolymérisation en émulsion du méthacrylate de n-butyle et du styrène et former, par auto-assemblage induit par la polymérisation, des particules composées de copolymères à blocs amphiphiles, en absence ou présence de particules de silice. En absence de silice, des particules stabilisées de façon stérique ou électrostérique ont été formées. La polymérisation présente les caractéristiques d'une polymérisation contrôlée avec néanmoins la formation d'une faible proportion de chaînes mortes. L'effet du pH, de la force ionique et de la nature ou de la concentration des macroalkoxyamines sur la cinétique de polymérisation et la morphologie des particules a été étudié, et des sphères, des vésicules ou des nanofibres ont été obtenues. Les macroalkoxyamines à base de PEO s'adsorbent sur la silice via la formation de liaisons hydrogène entre les chaînes PEO et les groupes silanol. La synthèse de copolymères à blocs en surface de la silice a conduit à la formation de particules hybrides de différentes morphologies (bonhomme de neige, multipodes, framboise, coeur-écorce, têtard, mille pattes) liées à la taille de la silice, au pH et à la nature du macroamorceur
Water-soluble brush-type polymers composed of poly(ethylene)oxide methacrylate (PEOMA) units with PEO side groups of various chain lengths (Mn = 300 and 950 g mol-1) or of PEOMA300 with methacrylic acid (MAA) were synthesized by nitroxide-mediated polymerization using an alkoxyamine initiator (BlocBuilder®) and SG1 nitroxide in the presence of a low amount of styrene. The PEOMA300-MAA based copolymers showed a dual temperature/pH response. The two series of macroalkoxyamines were used in aqueous emulsion copolymerization of nbutyl methacrylate and styrene leading to the formation of particles composed of amphiphilic block copolymers through polymerization-induced self-assembly, in both the absence and presence of silica. The experiments performed in the absence of silica particles resulted in the formation of sterically or electrosterically stabilized latexes. The polymerization exhibited all the features of a controlled system with however the presence of a small proportion of dead chains. The effect of pH value, ionic strength and type and concentration of the macroalkoxyamine initiator on polymerization kinetics and latex morphologies was investigated. Depending on the reaction conditions, spherical particles, vesicles or nanofibers were successfully prepared. The PEO-based macroalkoxyamines were shown to adsorb on the silica surface via hydrogen…

▼ Ce travail a concerné l'étude de la fonctionnalisation métallique et du contrôle morphologique de nanoparticules de silice mésoporeuse appelées MSN. La voie de fonctionnalisation par synthèse directe a été privilégiée et a consisté en une encapsulation des précurseurs métalliques dans la phase porogène. L'insertion de cuivre, palladium, platine, argent or et de bimétalliques Cu/Pd et Pd/Pt a été réalisée. Il résulte de cette approche une localisation des nanoparticules métalliques dans les pores et d'une grande accessibilité des fonctionnalités à l'origine des excellentes performances catalytiques mesurées. Ces performances et le recyclage du catalyseur [email protected] ont été démontrés pour des réactions de Huisgen et de Sonogashira. Il a également été étudié l'adsorption de l'iode moléculaire en phase gaz sur des MSN fonctionnalisées par des nanoparticules d'argent avec d'excellentes capacités de rétention.
The objective of this thesis was to develop efficient synthesis routes to prepare mesoporous silica-based nano-sized particles, designated as MSN, with controllable morphology and derivatised with selected transition metals. One-pot preparation and surface functionalisation procedures based on the insertion of the metal-phase precursor into the porogen aggregates were thoroughly optimised leading to silica particles containing such single metals as copper, palladium, platinum, silver or gold, as well as a two-metal phase of copper and palladium or that of palladium and platinum. It was demonstrated that the highly dispersed metal phase was localised on the pore surface and therefore it was readily accessible to the target chemicals on which to base the catalytic performance of the resulting materials. Among others, the remarkable catalytic performance of the [email protected] material in Huisgen and Sonogashira reactions and its propensity to undergo efficient recycling were proven through laboratory-scale testing. Experimental study of the selective adsorption of iodine vapour onto MSN supports functionalised with silver nanoparticles indicated an excellent retention capacity of such materials.
