X-Nuclei NMR Self-Diffusion Studies in Mesoporous Silica Foam and Microporous MOF CuBTC.

ABSTRACT: A standard X-observe NMR probe was equipped with a z-gradient coil to enable high-sensitivity pulsed field gradient NMR diffusion studies of Li⁺ and Cs⁺ cations of aqueous salt solutions in a high-porosity mesocellular silica foam (MCF) and of CO₂ adsorbed in metal-organic frameworks (MOF). The coil design and the necessary probe modifications, which yield pulsed field gradients of up to ±16.2Tm-1, are introduced. The system was calibrated at 2H resonance frequency and successfully applied for diffusion studies at ⁷Li, 23Na, 13C and 133Cs frequencies. Significant reductions of the diffusivities of the cations in LiClac and CsClac solution introduced into MCFs are observed. By comparison of the diffusion behavior with the bulk solutions, a tortuosity of the silica foam of 4.5 ± 0.6 was derived. Single component self-diffusion of CO₂ and CH₄ (measured by ¹H NMR) as well as self-diffusion of the individual components in CO₂/CH4 mixtures was studied in the MOF CuBTC. The experimental results confirm high mobilities of the adsorbed gases and trends for diffusion separation factors predicted by MD simulations.

Modulation of microporous/mesoporous structures in self-templated cobalt-silica.

Project description:Finite control of pore size distributions is a highly desired attribute when producing porous materials. While many methodologies strive to produce such materials through one-pot strategies, oftentimes the pore structure requires post-treatment modification. In this study, modulation of pore size in cobalt-silica systems was investigated by a novel, non-destructive, self-templated method. These systems were produced from two cobalt-containing silica starting materials which differed by extent of condensation. These starting materials, sol (SG') and xerogel (XG'), were mixed with pure silica sol to produce materials containing 5-40 mol% Co. The resultant SG-series materials exhibited typical attributes for cobalt-silica systems: mesoporous characteristics developed at high cobalt concentrations, coinciding with Co3O4 formation; whereas, in the XG-series materials, these mesoporous characteristics were extensively suppressed. Based on an examination of the resultant materials a mechanism describing the pore size formation and modulation of the two systems was proposed. Pore size modulation in the XG-series was caused, in part, by the cobalt source acting as an autogenous template for the condensation of the silica network. These domains could be modified when wetted, allowing for the infiltration and subsequent condensation of silica oligomers into the pre-formed, mesoporous cages, leading to a reduction in the mesoporous content of the final product.

Interactions and Diffusion of Methane and Hydrogen in Microporous Structures: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Studies.

Project description:Measurements of nuclear spin relaxation times over a wide temperature range have been used to determine the interaction energies and molecular dynamics of light molecular gases trapped in the cages of microporous structures. The experiments are designed so that, in the cases explored, the local excitations and the corresponding heat capacities determine the observed nuclear spin-lattice relaxation times. The results indicate well-defined excitation energies for low densities of methane and hydrogen deuteride in zeolite structures. The values obtained for methane are consistent with Monte Carlo calculations of A.V. Kumar et al. The results also confirm the high mobility and diffusivity of hydrogen deuteride in zeolite structures at low temperatures as observed by neutron scattering.

Engineering Intrinsically Zirconium-89 Radiolabeled Self-Destructing Mesoporous Silica Nanostructures for In Vivo Biodistribution and Tumor Targeting Studies.

Project description:A systematic study of in vitro and in vivo behavior of biodegradable mesoporous silica nanoparticles (bMSNs), designed to carry multiple cargos (both small and macromolecular drugs) and subsequently self-destruct following release of their payloads, is presented. Complete degradation of bMSNs is seen within 21 d of incubation in simulated body fluid. The as-synthesized bMSNs are intrinsically radiolabeled with oxophilic zirconium-89 (89Zr, t1/2 = 78.4 h) radionuclide to track their in vivo pharmacokinetics via positron emission tomography imaging. Rapid and persistent CD105 specific tumor vasculature targeting is successfully demonstrated in murine model of metastatic breast cancer by using TRC105 (an anti-CD105 antibody)-conjugated bMSNs. This study serves to illustrate a simple, versatile, and readily tunable approach to potentially overcome the current challenges facing nanomedicine and further the goals of personalized nanotheranostics.

Injectable, self-healing mesoporous silica nanocomposite hydrogels with improved mechanical properties.

Project description:Self-healing hydrogels have emerged as promising biomaterials in regenerative medicine applications. However, an ongoing challenge is to create hydrogels that combine rapid self-healing with high mechanical strength to make them applicable to a wider range of organs/tissues. Incorporating nanoparticles within hydrogels is a popular strategy to improve the mechanical properties as well as to provide additional functionalities such as stimuli responsiveness or controlled drug delivery, further optimizing their use. In this context, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are promising candidates as they are bioactive, improve mechanical properties, and can controllably release various types of cargo. While commonly nanoparticles are added to hydrogels as filler component, in the current study we developed thiol surface-functionalized MSNs capable of acting as chemical crosslinkers with a known hydrophilic polymer, polyethylene glycol (PEG), through dynamic thiol-disulfide covalent interactions. Due to these dynamic exchange reactions, mechanically strong nanocomposites with a storage modulus of up to 32 ± 5 kPa compared to 1.3 ± 0.3 kPa for PEG hydrogels alone, with rapid self-healing capabilities, could be formed. When non-surface modified MSNs were used, the increase in storage modulus of the hydrogels was significantly lower (3.4 ± 0.7 kPa). In addition, the nanocomposites were shown to degrade slowly over 6 weeks upon exposure to glutathione while remaining intact at physiological conditions. Together, the data argue that creating nanocomposites using MSNs as dynamic crosslinkers is a promising strategy to confer mechanical strength and rapid self-healing capabilities to hydrogels. This approach offers new possibilities for creating multifunctional self-healing biomaterials for a wider range of applications in regenerative medicine.

Microfluidics-mediated self-template synthesis of anisotropic hollow ellipsoidal mesoporous silica nanomaterials.

Project description:Herein, a facile strategy was firstly developed to synthesize ellipsoidal mesoporous silica nanomaterials (MSNs) with well-ordered parallel channels along the short axis. A miniaturized microfluidic device with spiral-shaped channels was then chosen as a straightforward and general platform to produce the corresponding hollow counterparts of MSNs under mild conditions. Such reaction process carried out in a microfluidic system was further demonstrated to be more rapid and efficient than conventional batch method under equivalent experimental conditions. The evolution of hollow structure can be well-tuned by flow rates (i.e., etching time), providing new paradigm for rational design and engineering of anisotropic nanostructures.

Controlled Nutrient Delivery to Pancreatic Islets Using Polydopamine-Coated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Project description:In the present study, we designed a nanoscale platform for the sustained and controlled delivery of nutrients to pancreatic islets-upon transplantation. Our platform consists of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP), loaded with glutamine (G), an essential amino acid required for islet survival and function, and capped with polydopamine (PD). To control the release of glutamine, various concentrations (0.5 - 2 mg/mL) of PD and incubation times (0.5 – 2 h) with MSNPs were investigated in terms of pharmacological properties and biological functions. After extensive testing, PD-G-MSNPs made using PD coating of 0.5 mg/mL incubated for 0.5 h resulted in the optimal platform to maintain the islet viability and functionality in vitro. Following syngeneic renal sub-capsule islet transplantation in STZ-diabetic mice, PD-G-MSNPs improved the engraftment of pancreatic islets as well as their function, resulting in re-establishment of glycemic control. Collectively, our data shows that PD-G-MSNPs can support transplanted islets by providing them with a controlled and sustained supply of nutrients.

Self-organization of silicates on different length scales exemplified by amorphous mesoporous silica and mesoporous zeolite beta using multiammonium surfactants.

Project description:In this study the structure directing effect of a gemini-type piperidine-based multi-ammonium surfactant during hydrothermal zeolite synthesis was investigated for two cases: with and without a source of aluminum. The absence of an aluminum source led to the formation of an amorphous mesoporous MCM-48 type silica material, while the presence of aluminum guaranteed the formation of zeolite beta with a hierarchical pore system. The two opposing cases were studied in a time and temperature-dependent manner. The mobility and through space interaction of these large surfactant molecules were studied by liquid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at a temperature relevant to hydrothermal synthesis (363 K) in pure water and upon addition of an aluminum and silicon source. In the gel state, at different stages of aging and hydrothermal synthesis, low angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and solid state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (1H MAS NMR) spectrometry determined the developing order within the system. At each of these different synthesis steps the respective intermediate materials were calcined. Transmission electron microscopy then allowed closer inspection of the locally developing mesoscopic order, while N2 physisorption was used to follow the evolution of porosity.
