The design of novel drug delivery systems is exceptionally critical in disease treatments.
Among the existing drug delivery systems, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have …

Surface-functionalised silica networks are advanced adsorbents. They have been given
much attention for treating wastewater using the adsorption technique due to the silanol …

A study of the structure and bonding configuration of sol–gel silicate glasses by Raman and
infrared spectroscopies is presented. Moreover, a review of the Raman lines and infrared …

Recently, significant advancement has occurred in vibrational (Fourier transform infrared
[FTIR] and Raman) spectroscopy associated with dental materials. FTIR and Raman …

Defluorination reactions are increasingly vital due to the extensive use of organofluorine
compounds with robust carbon–fluorine (C–F) bonds; particularly, the efficient defluorination …

Understanding the mechanism of water adsorption on silica is important in many fields of
science and technology, such as geo-and atmospheric chemistry. Vibrational IR–visible sum …

During earthquake propagation, geologic faults lose their strength, then strengthen as slip
slows and stops. Many slip-weakening mechanisms are active in the upper-mid crust, but …

Superbasic sites have been generated on the mesoporous silica materials for the first time,
through a new strategy to prepare the MgO-modified SBA-15 in one-pot synthesis and then …

In this work, we unveil the fluorescence features of citric acid and urea-based Carbon Dots
(CDs) through a photo-physical characterization of nanoparticles synthesized, under solvent …

Water in glass has disproportionately large effects on various properties of oxide glasses,
such as chemical durability and mechanical strength. Silica glass is the basis of many oxide …
