AbstractOrganically-modified silicates have been synthesized from RSi(OEt)3 (R = CH3, C2H5, C8H17, CH2=CH, C6H5) and TEOS under acidic conditions, in the presence of cethyltrimethylammonium (CTAB). The introduction of RSiO1.5 units with R/Si =0.2, affects the ordering of the expected hexagonal silicate phase, except when R = C6H5. The sample containing phenyl functions was thus submitted to surfactant extraction; calcination at 350°C appears to be more efficient, and less disruptive for the network ordering than a washing procedure in ethanol. Nitrogen adsorption measurements on the hexagonally ordered calcined sample that still contains phenyl groups, yields a type I isotherm, typical of a microporous solid. BET method leads to a surface area of 1000 m2/g and a pore volume of 0.32 cm3/g.

ABSTRACTThis work is part of a more general study on the structural characterization of organically modified silica gels that are usually prepared from tetrafunctional, trifunctional and difunctional alkoxides. The systems that were investigated in this paper are gels prepared from co-hydrolysis of dimethyldiethoxysilane (DEDMS) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The condensation process was followed by 29Si and 17O liquid NMR and shows clearly evidence for co-condensation reactions. Gels with various DEDMS/TEOS ratios were studied by 29Si and 1H MAS-NMR. The results are clearly correlated to the change in physical properties of the materials, from flexible polymeric gels at high DEDMS content to crosslinked brittle networks at low DEDMS content.

Characterization of Borrelia burgdorferi strains by means of negative staining EM has become an integral part of many studies related to the biology of the Lyme disease organism. However, relying solely upon negative staining to compare new isolates with prototype B31 or other borreliae is often unsatisfactory. To obtain more satisfactory results, we have relied upon a correlative approach encompassing a variety EM techniques, i.e., scanning for topographical features and cryotomy, negative staining and thin sectioning to provide a more complete structural characterization of B. burgdorferi.For characterization, isolates of B. burgdorferi were cultured in BSK II media from which they were removed by low speed centrifugation. The sedimented borrelia were carefully resuspended in stabilizing buffer so as to preserve their features for scanning and negative staining. Alternatively, others were prepared for conventional thin sectioning and for cryotomy using modified procedures. For thin sectioning, the fixative described by Ito, et al.
