Benzyl ammonium chloride (BAC) is a broad-spectrum bactericide, but vulnerable to leaching by water. In this paper, halloysite nanotubes (HNT) and montmorillonite (MMT) were used as drug carriers to load BAC, in order to achieve good anti-mildew activity and long-term sustained release properties. The HNT and MMT nano-composites were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption. XRD results showed that BAC intercalated the interlayer of MMT, and expanded the interlayer spacing from 1.15 nm to 1.75 nm. Pore analysis showed that BAC decreased the cavity of halloysite nanotubes to a certain extent, which indicated that BAC loaded inside the lumen of HNT successfully. TG analysis showed that the loading capacity of MMT to BAC was higher than HNT. The accelerated-release experiments revealed both two clays have significant sustained-release effects on BAC, and the releasing rate of HNT was relatively lower. Both HNT and MMT have promising application prospects as sustained-release carriers. The inhibition test showed that BAC in nano-clay has good anti-mildew resistance performance.

Recent years mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) have become important biomaterials because of their high surface area and the superior bioactivity. Various studies have reported that when MBGs implanted in a human body, hydroxyl apatite layers, constituting the main inorganic components of human bones, will form on the MBG surfaces to increase the bioactivity. Therefore, MBGs have been widely applied in the fields of tissue regeneration and drug delivery. The sol-gel process has replaced the conventional glasses process for MBG synthesis because of the advantages of low contamination, chemical flexibility and lower calcination temperature. In the sol-gel process, several types of surfactants were mixed with MBG precursor solutions to generate micelle structures. Afterwards, these micelles decompose to form porous structures after calcination. Although calcination is significant for contamination, crystalline and surface area in MBG, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, only few systematic studies related to calcination were reported. This study correlated the calcination parameters and the microstructure of MBGs. Microstructure evaluation was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The experimental results show that the surface area and the pore size of MBGs decreased with the increasing of the calcination temperature, and decreased dramatically at 800°C due to the formation of crystalline phases.

Porous ZnO were synthesized with soft template method using zinc acetate Zn (CH3COO)2·2H2O as precursor and block copolymer F127 as the surfactant. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements indicate that the ZnO sample contains large pores with mean diameter of about 30 nm. However, both small-angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope measurements indicate that the pore ordering is missing. Positron lifetime measurements reveal two long lifetime components in the porous ZnO. The longest lifetime τ4 (75 ns) corresponds to ortho-positronium (o-Ps) annihilation in large pores. The pore size estimated from τ4 is about 10.6 nm. This is much smaller than that estimated from Nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements. In addition, the intensity I4 is only about 2.2%. This is probably due to the chemical quenching and/or inhibition of positronium formation induced by ZnO, which reduces o-Ps lifetime and intensity, and leads to under estimation of the pore size.

AbstractArgentum-loaded MCM-41 (Ag/MCM-41) was synthesized successfully by a hydrothermal method and used as a catalyst for the ozonation of p-chlorobenzoic acid (p-CBA) in aqueous solution. Ag/MCM-41 was characterized by low angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Characterizations suggest that the prepared samples retained a highly regulated mesopores of hexagonal structure and a high BET surface area. The influences of argentum content, initial pH, reaction temperature on the catalytic ozonation were also evaluated. Ag/MCM-41/O

Ordered hexagonally mesoporous molecular sieve Al-MCM-41 with Si/Al (atom) ratio=9 was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis using raw kaolin. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Nitrogen adsorption desorption, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Detector (EDX) were employed to characterise raw kaolin, calcined kaolin, as-synthesized and calcined Al-MCM-41. The results indicated that characteristic reflections of raw kaolin disappeared after calcination, both of as-synthesized and calcined Al-MCM-41 exhibited well ordered hexagonally mesoporous molecular sieve structure.
