The synthesis, material characterization, and in vitro biocompatibility of S-nitrosothiol (RSNO)-modified xerogels are described. Thiol-functionalized xerogel films were formed by hydrolysis and co-condensation of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) sol-gel precursors at varying concentrations. Subsequent thiol nitrosation via acidified nitrite

Highly porous silica aerogels with differing balances of hydrophobic and hydrophilic functionalities were studied as a new immobilization medium for enzymes. Two types of lipases from Candida rugosa and Burkholderia cepacia were homogeneously dispersed in wet gel precursors before gelation.

When bicontinuous gels are prepared via sol-gel method in a 2-dimensionally (2D) confined space, the gel skeletons in the vicinity of interface of a mold are elongated perpendicular to the interface. This phenomenon was attributed to the dynamic wetting of

A set of monolithic capillary columns for liquid chromatography, synthesized according to a recently developed protocol which uses methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) as a sole precursor, is characterised by various chromatographic tests to assess its physico-chemical properties. The new stationary phase material
