Titania Modified Layered Silicate for Polymer/Inorganic Nanocomposites

Titania-mediated stabilization of fluorescent dye encapsulation in mesoporous silica nanoparticles

“…Generally, the spectra intensity is lowered which can be attributed to the presence of titania. 55 Studies show Si–O–Ti bonds in the region of 960–910 cm −1 , Ti–O stretching and Ti–O–Ti bending vibrations at around 770 cm −1 , sym. Ti–O–Ti stretching at 411 cm −1 and deformation vibration of Ti–O–Ti in the area 1200–1000 cm −1 .…”

Collagen - Modified Layered Silicate Biomaterials for Regenerative Medicine of Bone Tissue

“…The year 2000 could be considered as the "starting point" in this field. Research for obtaining new types of bio-nanocomposites based on collagen in solid physical forms of matrices or membranes in which inorganic components can be hydroxyapatite, biovitroceramica, TiO 2 , SiO 2 , natural layered silicate as it is or modified with hydrolysed collagen, antioxidants has developed (Ficai et al 2010a;Albu et al, 2009;Baia et al, 2008;Piticescu et al, 2008;Potarniche et al, 2010;Vuluga et al, 2007;Vuluga et al, 2008a). Organic compounds that can interact with collagen are represented by a series of biological active substances or other biocompatible polymers, their compatibility being previously tested with collagen gel or colloidal solutions.…”

“…This can be achieved by the formation of biocomposites with SiO 2 , TiO 2 , clay, hydroxyapatite, etc Vuluga et al, 2008a). Osteoinduction is the effect that appears in bone healing and involves the recruitment and stimulation of immature cells to develop into preosteoblast cells.…”
