Mesoporous Silica SBA-15 - Formation, Modification and Application

Kjellman, Tomas LU (2013)
Abstract
Several aspects related to the mesoporous silica material SBA-15 have been studied through the use of a wide range of experimental techniques, including low voltage high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, small angle X-ray scattering and nitrogen sorption. This work contains three parts, which are in many ways overlapping. The first part deals with the formation of SBA-15, it is found that a mechanism of transient colloidal stability governs the growth of particles. In the second part, a modified experimental protocol is developed in order to independently fine-tune the intrawall porosity and primary mesoporosity of SBA-

No matter the topic, the aim is to always base the applied strategies on a solid foundation of the understanding of the

basic physiochemical processes relevant to the system under study. The work is presented in a way that there is a red line going through, showing how good understanding of fundamental processes opens up for possibilities to tune material properties, which in turn improves the material for use in application.

Popular Abstract in Swedish

I början 1990-talet upptäcktes att det var möjligt att syntetisera så kallad mesoporös silika. Upptäckten fick stor uppmärksamhet då materialen har ett flertal intressanta egenskaper som inkluderar ett stort antal porer med väldefinierad diameter, jämn partikelstorlek och möjligheten att påverka dessa och andra egenskaper.

I den här avhandlingen har det mesoporösa silikamaterialet SBA-15 studerats i tre olika delprojekt. I det första projektet studeras vad som styr bildandet av partiklar av SBA-15, och vad som kontrollerar deras storlek. I det andra projektet studeras hur materialets porer kan påverkas för att få ett material med specifikt anpassade egenskaper. Slutligen har SBA-15... (More)

I början 1990-talet upptäcktes att det var möjligt att syntetisera så kallad mesoporös silika. Upptäckten fick stor uppmärksamhet då materialen har ett flertal intressanta egenskaper som inkluderar ett stort antal porer med väldefinierad diameter, jämn partikelstorlek och möjligheten att påverka dessa och andra egenskaper.

I den här avhandlingen har det mesoporösa silikamaterialet SBA-15 studerats i tre olika delprojekt. I det första projektet studeras vad som styr bildandet av partiklar av SBA-15, och vad som kontrollerar deras storlek. I det andra projektet studeras hur materialets porer kan påverkas för att få ett material med specifikt anpassade egenskaper. Slutligen har SBA-15 partiklar använts för att studera två mer praktiska problem. Det första handlar om att försöka deponera partiklarna på en yta så att dess porer hamnar vinkelrät mot ytan, vilket it sig skulle ge en yta med intressanta egenskaper. Det andra handlar om att försöka använda SBA-15 som en bärare av cancerläkemedlet Dasatinib, och sedan studera hur läkemedlet lämnar SBA-15 material som har olika porer.

Genom arbetet finns en sammanhängande röd tråd som visar hur en god förståelse för de fundamentala processer som styr materialets bildande kan användas för att influera materialets egenskaper, vilket i sin tur kan utnyttjas för att försöka lösa praktiska problem. (Less)
