Anhydride-functional silane immobilized onto titanium surfaces induces osteoblast cell differentiation and reduces bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation

Bacterial infection in dental implants along with osseointegration failure usually leads to loss of the device. Bioactive molecules with antibacterial properties can be attached to titanium surfaces with anchoring molecules such as silanes, preventing biofilm formation and improving osseointegration. Properties of silanes as molecular binders have been thoroughly studied, but research on the biological effects of these coatings is scarce. The aim of the present study was to determine the in vitro cell response and antibacterial effects of triethoxysilypropyl succinic anhydride (TESPSA) silane anchored on titanium surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed a successful silanization. The silanized surfaces showed no cytotoxic effects. Gene expression analyses of Sarcoma Osteogenic (SaOS-2) osteoblast-like cells cultured on TESPSA silanized surfaces reported a remarkable increase of biochemical markers related to induction of osteoblastic cell differentiation. A manifest decrease of bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation at early stages was observed on treated substrates, while favoring cell adhesion and spreading in bacteria–cell co-cultures.Surfaces treated with TESPSA could enhance a biological sealing on implant surfaces against bacteria colonization of underlying tissues. Furthermore, it can be an effective anchoring platform of biomolecules on titanium surfaces with improved osteoblastic differentiation and antibacterial properties.

Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Silane Treated Pineapple Leaf Fiber Reinforced Polylactic Acid Composites

In this work, the mechanical and thermal properties of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF)/poly (lactic acid) (PLA) composites were studied. Pineapple leaf fibers were pretreated with 4 %wt sodium hydroxide solution followed by various silane solutions i.e. γ-(aminopropyl) trimethoxy silane (APS), γ-methacrylate propyl trimethoxy (A174) and bis [3-(triethoxysilyl) propyl] tetrasulfide (Si69). FTIR results show a significant functional groups of C=O and C=C of methacrylic group, NH2group and Si-O which are the characteristic of these silane coupling agents. SEM micrographs of pretreated PALF showed a rough surface while untreated and silane treated PALF revealed less roughness. It was found that the tensile strength at break of PLA is 56 MPa and tensile strength of composites decreased when fiber content increased. The tensile modulus of silane treated PALF composites were higher than PLA, whereas their impact strength were similar to PLA. Si69 treated PALF showed lower impact strength compared to the others silanes treated fiber which indicates more phase separation between fiber and matrix. This is related to high percentage of crystallinity of composite from Si69 treated fiber. It was also found that the addition of PALF did not change the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of PLA while the percentage of crystallinity increases as the fiber content increased. In addition WAXS study of composite from Si69 treated fiber reveals sharp crystalline peaks of PLA while the others silane treatments show amorphous characteristic of PLA.

Mechanical Properties of Silane and Zirconate Coupling Agent-Treated Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Fiber-Filled Acrylic-Impact Modified Poly (Vinyl Chloride) Composites

The influence of untreated and treated OPEFB content on the mechanical properties of acrylic impact-modified PVC was investigated. The formulations were first dry blended before being milled into sheets on a two-roll mill. Test specimens were then hot pressed. The modulus significantly increased while the impact and flexural strength insignificantly improved with increasing of treated OPEFB contents. The reduction in water absorption, the formation of new absorption bands and the slight number of treated fiber pulled-out proved that there was an interaction between fiber and matrix. However, this interaction was insufficient to enhance the impact and flexural strength significantly.

Using the program package from the IVTANTERMO databank, the thermodynamic properties of CH3SiH3, CCl3SiH3, SiCl3CH3, SiCl3SiH3, SiCl3CCl3, and SiCl3SiCl3 were calculated and the thermolysis process was studied for CCl3SiH3, SiCl3CCl3, and SiCl3SiCl3.

Charge-induced effects on the structure and properties of silane and disilane derivatives

Using ab-initio electronic structure methods we have investigated the ground state structures and properties of neutral and charged SiH$_{m}$(m=1-4) and Si$_{2}$H$_{n}$(n=1-6) clusters which are produced in the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process used in the preparation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon({\it{a}}-Si:H). Our results show that charging a neutral cluster distorts it and the distortion mainly occurs through the orientation of Si-H bond. We attribute structural changes in the charged clusters to electrostatic repulsion between the bonded and non-bonded electrons. We find that in addition to the usual Si-H bond, hydrogen atoms form Si-H-H and Si-H-Si bonds in some clusters. The vibrations of Si-H, Si-Si, Si-H-Si bond stretching modes show that the frequencies are shifted significantly upon charging. The frequency shifts in the charged clusters are consistent with their bond length variations. We discuss the fragmentation pathways of silane into binary products and the role of fragmented silane radicals in the cluster formation and {\it{a}}-Si:H film deposition process.

Synthesis and some properties of silanes and siloxanes with 5,5,6,6,7,7,7-heptafluoro-4,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)heptyl substituents

Methods for syntheses of new polyfluorinated compounds, viz., silanes containing substituents CF3CF2CF2C(CF3)2(CH2)3 (RF) at the silicon atom and 1,3,5-tris(RF)-1,3,5-trimethylcyclotrisiloxane that can be used for the synthesis of fluorocontaining oligo- and polysiloxanes of different structure, were developed. The polymerization of cyclotrisiloxane in the presence of 1,3-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane gave linear oligomers, whose chain contain -(RF)Si(Me)O- units.

Tight-binding quantum molecular-dynamics simulations of hydrogen in silicon.

We have carried out molecular-dynamics simulations of neutral hydrogen in crystalline silicon using tight-binding (TB) quantum-mechanical total energies and forces. A well-established model due to Goodwin et al. is used for the Si-Si interactions. For the Si-H interactions, we have fit our Harrison-type TB model to the known properties of silane and to both theoretical and experimental information about hydrogen in crystalline silicon. Several simulations performed in the temperature range of 1050 to 2000 K yield a diffusion curve in good agreement with experiment. The H diffusion is found to be jumplike between bond-centered (BC) sites, and the trapping of H at the BC site is mediated by a metastable onefold coordinated H configuration which weakens adjacent Si-Si bonds, allowing the H to enter the BC site. Vibrational frequencies for hydrogen at the BC site are also calculated and isotopic frequency shifts are discussed.
