Metal oxides. Beside mesoporous silica materials conventional metal oxides have been applied for the synthesis of solid Pd catalysts for C—C coupling reactions. Alper and coworkers [151] and Singh and coworkers [144] immobilized Pd complexes on a modified silica surface modified by covalent anchoring. The resulting solid catalyst was tested in reactions of several non- and deactivated aryl bromides (bromobenzene, p-bromotoluene, p-bromoanisole) and butyl acrylate or styrene. Only TONs around 100 were achieved after 1 day reaction. 

Recently, Voelkel and Grzeskowiak [23] reported on the use of solubility parameters in the characterization of silica surface modified with titanates by inverse gas chromatography and compared their findings with earlier work on silanes. 

Proton exchange membranes (PEM) were also prepared by solution blending of sulfonated poly(phthalazinone ether ketone) (sPPEK) and various amotmts of sulfonated silica nanoparticles (silica-SOsH) [58]. The solution blending techiuque was also used in combination with compression molding thus, poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK)-based nanohybrids were fabricated by means of compression molding at 400°C under a pressure of 60 MPa using silica surface-modified with stearic acid and PEEK [59]. 

Polar character and big specific surface area enable various modifications of silica surface. Modifying by coupling compounds is the most popular one [4]. In subject literature [5, 6] and patent declarations [7] many... 

Similar to silica, surface-modified cellulose (84,98,1(X),105,119) e.g. ECTEOLA (a reaction product of epichlorohydrin, triethanolamine and alkali cellulose), carboxymethyl cellulose, amino-benzyl cellulose and diethyl-(2-hydroxypropyl) aminoethyl cellulose have been used as stationary phases for the separation of several inorganic ions. Fixion 50X8 (a polymer based strong acidic cation exchange resin) is used to resolve various inorganic ions by circular TLC (127). 

Clearly, it is important that there be a large contact angle at the solid particle-solution-air interface. Some minerals, such as graphite and sulfur, are naturally hydrophobic, but even with these it has been advantageous to add materials to the system that will adsorb to give a hydrophobic film on the solid surface. (Effects can be complicated—sulfur notability oscillates with the number of preadsoibed monolayers of hydrocarbons such as n-heptane [76].) The use of surface modifiers or collectors is, of course, essential in the case of naturally hydrophilic minerals such as silica. 

The mesoporous ordered silicas of different type represent the new generation of materials with unique properties. The discovery of these materials became basis for creation of new catalysts, adsorbents, sensors and supporter for other molecules. The most important way of the modifying physical and chemical properties of mesopurous silicas consist in organic components incorporation on the silica surface as part of the silicate walls or their insertion within channels of the mesopores. This ensured that interest in synthesis and study of functionalized mesoporous materials shai ply grew. In spite of it, these materials are studied insufficiently. 

Unloaded silica does not recover HPA from aqueous solution. The surface of silica gel modified with quarternary ammonium salts (QAS) gets anion-exchange properties. The aim of the work is the elaboration of solid-phase reagents on the base of ion associate of HPA with QAS immobilized onto silica surface for the determination of phosphoms and organic reductants. Heterocyclic (safranine and lucigenine) and aliphatic (trinonyloctadecyl ammonium iodide and tetradecyl ammonium nitrate) compounds have been examined as QAS. 

From the point of view of solute interaction with the structure of the surface, it is now very complex indeed. In contrast to the less polar or dispersive solvents, the character of the interactive surface will be modified dramatically as the concentration of the polar solvent ranges from 0 to l%w/v. However, above l%w/v, the surface will be modified more subtly, allowing a more controlled adjustment of the interactive nature of the surface It would appear that multi-layer adsorption would also be feasible. For example, the second layer of ethyl acetate might have an absorbed layer of the dispersive solvent n-heptane on it. However, any subsequent solvent layers that may be generated will be situated further and further from the silica surface and are likely to be very weakly held and sparse in nature. Under such circumstances their presence, if in fact real, may have little impact on solute retention.

Porous silica packings do, however, sometimes suffer from adsorption between the sample and silanol groups on the silica surface. This interaction can interfere with the size exclusion experiment and yield erroneous information. In many cases, this problem is easily overcome by selecting mobile phases that eliminate these interactions. In addition, the surface of porous silica packings is routinely modified in order to reduce these undesirable interactions. Trimeth-ylsilane modified packing is typically used with synthetic polymers. Diol modified packing is typically used with proteins and peptides. 

Zorbax PSM packings are produced in three forms unmodified, trimethyl-silane modified, and diol modified. Modified Zorbax PSM packings are produced by chemically bonding a layer on the silica surface through siloxane bonds (Table 3.1). Silanized Zorbax PSM packings suppress adsorption effects and are the preferred choice when the mobile phase contains organic solvents. Unsilanized and diol modified Zorbax PSM packings should be used when the mobile phase consists of aqueous solvents.

Capillary electrophoretic separations are performed in small diameter tubes, made of Teflon, polyethylene, and other materials. The most frequently used material is fused silica. Fused silica capillaries are relatively inexpensive and are available in different internal and external diameters. An important advantage of a fused silica capillary is that the inner surface can be modified easily by either chemical or physical means. The chemistry of the silica surface is well established due to the popularity of silica surfaces in gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC). In capillary electrophoresis, the silica surface is responsible for the EOF. Using surface modification techniques, the zeta potential and correspondingly the EOF can be varied or eliminated. Column fabrication has been done on microchips.13...
