Environmentally compliant organic–inorganic hybrid coatings for efficient corrosion protection of metallic surfaces are potential alternatives to the current method based on chromate passivation.
A new betadiketonate ligand displaying a trimethoxysilyl group as grafting function and diketone moiety complexing site (TTA-Si = 4,4,4-trifluoro-2-(3-trimethoxysilyl)propyl)-1-3-butanedione (C4H3S)COCH[(CH2)3Si(OCH3)3]COCF3) its highly luminescent europium(III) complex [Eu(TTA-Si)3] have been synthesized fully characterized. Luminescent silica-based hybrids prepared well with this grafted on the surface of dense silica nanoparticles (28 ± 3 nm) or mesoporous particles. The covalent bonding...
A range of talc-like phyllosilicates were prepared via a hydrothermal synthesis performed at five different temperatures from 160 to 350 °C. The organization the lattice and degree crystallinity new materials evaluated by techniques such as XRD, FTIR, solid-state 29Si NMR, TEM, FEG-SEM TG-DTA. When synthesized low temperature material presents high hydration, flawed structure. This was attributed stevensite-talc interstratified product present in samples. stevensite/talc ratio hydration...
In this work we have synthesized and characterized new hybrid nanoplatforms for luminescent biolabeling based on the concept of Eu 3+ complexes encapsulation in mesoporous silica nanoparticles ( ≈ 100 nm). been selected basis their capability to be excited at 365 nm which is a currently available wavelength, routine epifluorescence microscope. For encapsulation, two different routes used: first route consists grafting transition metal complex into wall surface. The second way deals with...
New nanohybrids were synthesized by grafting organosilanes on silica nanoparticles. These containing dibipyridine, urea, and urethan functionalities can be used as new synthons for nanotechnology, catalysis, or nanocomposites. The influence of the organosilane amount was studied together with pH solvent effects. have been thoroughly characterized diffuse reflectance IR Fourier transform (DRIFT) NMR spectroscopies, electron microscopy (transmission scanning), thermogravimetry...

Luminescent silica nanoparticles are frequently employed for biotechnology applications mainly because of their easy functionalization, photo-stability, and biocompatibility. Bifunctional (BSNPs) described here as new efficient tools investigating complex biological systems such biofilms. Photoluminescence is brought about by the incorporation a silylated ruthenium(II) complex. The surface properties particles were designed reaction with amino-organosilanes, quaternary...
Silicon oxynitride (SiOxNy) thin films are widely encountered in today's major key enabling technologies. Exhibiting tunable properties dependent on the nitrogen content, they attract attention applications requiring thermal stability, high dielectric constant, corrosion resistance, surface passivation, and effective ion diffusion barrier. Identification of minimum desired level incorporation for each application is important simultaneously optimizing material deposition process. In this...
Corrosion is a major problem for durability of many metals and alloys. Among the efficient classical surface treatments, chromate-based treatments must be banished from industrial use due to their toxicity. At same time, sol-gel routes have demonstrated high potential develop an barrier effect against aggressive environments. By this process, anti-corrosion property can also associated others in case development multi-functional hybrid coatings. In paper, main goal precisely improve both...
