Abstract

Mesoporous silica materials (SBA-15) with surfaces modified with aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) of two different surface coverages were synthesized, and their structural pore characteristics were analyzed. These two mesoporous silica materials were impregnated with various solutions of radicals in a nonionic surfactant solvent. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis of the impregnated mesoporous silica materials confirmed that the surfactant solutions were confined into the pores. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)-enhanced solid-state 13C magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra recorded for these impregnated mesoporous silica materials showed the presence of superimposed spectra from direct and indirect channel polarization transfer processes not only for the confined surfactant solvent but also for the APTES surface modification. The observation of the indirect channel resonances implies that the surfactant solvents as well as the APTES exhibit molecular motions with correlation times on th...
