Abstract

Moreover, adsorption energy distribution functions were calculated from submonolayer adsorption data using the regularization method. It was estimated that about 40% of the available surface silanols were converted to amine groups and about 60% of amines were converted to amides. It was shown that although the chemical modification of the surface does not significantly alter the porous properties of the starting silica, it significantly affects the interaction of nitrogen probe molecules with the surface. Moreover, it was demonstrated that nitrogen adsorption is quite sensitive to the presence or absence of various functional groups on the silica surface and that the information obtained from the adsorption measurements can be utilized for the characterization of silica-based materials used in chromatographic applications.
