The second and third reactions describe the condensation of as-formed silanol groups, with an alkoxide or more silanol groups, giving siloxane bonds (Si-O-Si) and alcohol/water as byproducts (Equations (2) and (3)). Our literature survey for MSNP synthesis revealed the extensive use of the...
immobilized alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) onto the particle surface without activity loss [30]. In previous studies of CMD-coated IONs, the negative surface charge led to a slower clearance from the bloodstream and less fouling activity and promoted the cellular uptake in Caco2-cells [35,36,38]...
Static contact angle studies were performed using various sets of probe liquids (n-octanol, n-hexane, n-octane, n-heptane, cyclohexane, toluene, benzyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, glycerol and double distilled water). Practically, droplets (~0.7l of probe liquids) were released on the polymer ...
