There are many reasons to report on silica interacting with biomolecules. The most obvious
one is that on the Earth's crust, oxygen and silicon are the most abundant atomic species …

A novel high surface area SiO 2–TiO 2 composite has been developed for elemental
mercury vapor removal from combustion sources. The composite exhibits synergistic …

The fundamental forces of adhesion are responsible for the spreading of fluids such as
crude oil/brine on the reservoir rock surface. These physico–chemical interactions determine …

Mineralization to the complete oxidation of sample carbon component does not always
assure the best analyte recovery. Particular attention should be paid to the presence of …

The ambient temperature solid/gas interaction of acetone with a nonporous silica (Aerosil
200) and two mesoporous silicas (a spherical MCM-41 preparation, with highly uniform and …

The CELESTE experiment will be an atmospheric Cherenkov detector designed to bridge
the gap in energy sensitivity between current satellite and ground-based gamma-ray …

Publisher Summary In this chapter, the performance of several drying techniques commonly
used in the semiconductor manufacturing industry is evaluated. This is done by measuring …

The effect of adsorbed metoclopramide on the surface ionization of fumed silica was studied
using potentiometric titration. Adsorption isotherms of metoclopramide to unionized and …

The authors' recent concept of bioinorganic filtration devices made up of solid-state
membranes (SSMs) accommodating ring-shaped, ribonucleic acid (RNA)-stabilized tobacco …

Fumed silica filler has long been used to structurally reinforce silicone elastomers.
Unfortunately, the combination of as little as a few weight percent of untreated fumed silica …
