摘要: Mesoporous silica SBA-15 was modified in a three-step process to obtain material with poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAAM) grafted onto the inner pore surface. Water sorption calorimetry implemented characterize materials obtained after each step regarding porosity and surface properties. The modification carried out by (i) increasing number of silanol groups, (ii) grafting 1-(trichlorosilyl)-2-(m-/p-(chloromethylphenyl) ethane, acting as an anchor for (iii) polymerization N-isopropylacrylamide. isotherms enthalpy hydration are presented. Pore size distributions were calculated on basis water applying BJH model. Complementary measurements nitrogen small-angle X-ray diffraction increase groups occurs mainly intrawall pores, is located volume absent PNIPAAM. Hence, PNIPAAM seals off pores. directly detect presence porosity. can be from isotherms. Furthermore, technique provides information capability (i.e., wettability different chemical surfaces) thermodynamic information.
