Objetivando identificar, compreender e, consequentemente, controlar todos os parâmetros envolvidos na síntese, foram realizados estudos uni e multivariado. No estudo univariado foram avaliados os efeitos da temperatura, velocidade de agitação, concentração do catalisador (hidróxido de amônio), concentração de água, razão molar [água] / [TEOS] e [etanol] / [TEOS]. No estudo multivariado foram avaliados os efeitos da água, TEOS, etanol e hidróxido de amônio. Os resultados do estudo univariado mostraram que todos os parâmetros estudados apresentaram influência no tamanho e morfologia das nanopartículas. No estudo multivariado foi possível identificar que as variáveis envolvidas na síntese apresentam tais efeitos somente em condições específicas. Após a identificação e, consequentemente, um maior controle dos parâmetros envolvidos na síntese de nanopartículas, iniciou-se o desenvolvimento dos nanossensores fluorescentes reutilizáveis. Neste trabalho dois nanossensores foram desenvolvidos com concentração do catalisador (NH3) de 0,18 mol L-1 para o nanossensor 1, e 0,70 mol L-1 para o nanossensor 2. O nanossensor 2, produzido em uma síntese de 2 h, não apresentou resposta a íons Cu(II) (supressão de fluorescência), isso porque as nanopartículas não possuíam porosidade, o que impediu o acesso dos íons Cu(II) à rodamina. O nanossensor 1, desenvolvido em uma síntese de 7 h, apresentou resposta a íons Cu(II). O reagente luminescente foi adicionado em diferentes estágios da síntese (2, 3, 4 e 5 h), onde o nanossensor com a adição da rodamina B em 5 h de síntese apresentou os melhores resultados. O nanossensor apresentou faixa linear entre 2,0 ¿ 12,0 µmol L-1, limite de detecção de 0,40 µmol L-1, limite de quantificação de 1,3 µmol L-1, tempo de resposta de 50 s e seletivo a íons Cu(II) podendo ser reutilizado 3 vezes. O nanossensor foi aplicado na determinação de íons Cu(II) em cachaça, produzindo resultados que não diferiram significativamente ao nível de confiança de 95 % dos resultados obtidos por espectrometria de absorção atômica / Abstract: In this work, a reusable fluorescent nanosensor for determination of Cu(II) ions was developed by encapsulating rhodamine B in silica nanoparticles synthesized based on Stöber method. In preliminary studies, it was possible to identify a relationship between the performance of nanossensor and the properties of the silica nanoparticles. In order to identify, understand and thus control all the parameters involved in the synthesis, univariate and multivariate studies were performed. In the univariate study, it was evaluated the effect of temperature, stirring speed, catalyst concentration (ammonium hydroxide), water concentration, and [water] / [TEOS] and [ethanol] / [TEOS] molar ratios. In the multivariate study, it was evaluated the effect of water, TEOS, ethanol and ammonium hydroxide. Results obtained in the univariate study showed that all parameters affect the size and the morphology of the nanoparticles. In the multivariate study, it was found that the variables involved in the synthesis have such effects only under specific conditions. After identification and, consequently, better control of the parameters involved in the synthesis of nanoparticles, the development of fluorescent nanosensors was carried out. Two nanosensors were developed, synthesized with catalyst concentration (NH3) of 0.18 mol L-1 for the nanosensor 1, and 0.70 mol L-1 for the nanosensor 2. The nanosensor 2, developed in a synthesis of 2 h, did not present response to Cu(II) ions (fluorescence quenching), because nanoparticles did not present porosity, which prevented the access of Cu(II) ion to rhodamine. The nanosensor 1, developed in a synthesis of 7 h, showed response to Cu(II) ions. The luminescent reagent was added at different stages of the synthesis (2, 3, 4 and 5 hours), and the nanosensor obtained with addition of rhodamine B after 5 h of synthesis showed the best results. The nanosensor showed linear range from 2.0 to 12.0 µmol L-1, detection limit of 0.40 µmol L-1, quantification limit of 1.3 µmol L-1, response time of 50 s and selectivity to Cu(II) ions which can be reused 3 times. The nanosensor was applied to the determination of Cu(II) in sugar cane spirit and the results obtained did not show significant differences from those obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry at a confidence level of 95 % / Mestrado / Quimica Analitica / Mestre em Química

Dans ce travail, les nanoparticles d’or supportées ont été étudiées en raison de leur fort potentiel dans les domaines de la catalyse. Des sphères de silice obtenues par la voie Stöber ont été synthétisées et utilisées comme supports des nanoparticules d’or. Les précurseurs d’or sont des solutions colloïdales possédant des nanoparticules d’or homogènes et de petite taille (environ 3 nm). Les matériaux préparés avec ou sans addition d’un nouvel élément ont été utilisés dans les réactions de l’oxydation du CO et une réaction inédite pour l’or: l’oxydation sélective de l’H2S.Les résultats indiquent que l’utilisation de colloïdes d’or comme précurseurs permet de contrôler la taille et la dispersion avant le dépôt et ceci est facilité par les propriétés optiques des nanoparticules de ce métal. Pour les propriétés catalytiques, outre la dispersion, on confirme très clairement par cette méthode de synthèse que l’interaction Au/Support joue un rôle majeur. L’addition d’un second métal augmente significativement l’activité des matériaux à base d’or. Les particules d’or et de Cu se rassemblent sous les conditions réactionnelles testées. Dans le cas de l’oxydation du CO, de petites quantités d’espèce d’or partiellement oxydée sont générées et forment une glue avec les espèces Cu2+ également formées au cours de la réaction et ceci permet de fixer les nanoparticules sur le support. Dans le cas de l’oxydation sélective de H2S, il a été montré que le système est résistant au soufre, y compris sur une longue durée de test. Les silices Stöber se sont avérées comme des supports catalytiques très intéressants car non poreux et formés de particules de petites tailles, ils sont aptes à exposer les phases actives de l’or aux réactifs, diminuant la pression de surface et facilitant le transfert thermique. Il a également été prouvé que ce matériau peut être mis en compétition avec les matériaux mésoporeux, ces derniers étant jugés indispensables pour obtenir de hautes activités en catalyse hétérogènes jusque là. / Supported gold nanoparticles have been focused on due to their high efficiency in the catalysis field. In this work, Stöber silica consisted by globules were synthesized and used as support for gold nanoparticles. The gold colloids with homogeneous and small nanoparticles (about 3 nm) were applied as gold precursor. The prepared materials with further metal addition were used to active the CO oxidation and another very special reaction- selective oxidation of H2S.The results suggested that by using the gold colloid as precursor the sizes of nanoparticles could be controlled before loading onto silica under the help of its optical properties. The results for catalytic reactions indicated that the interaction between Au-support is another essential factor impacting the activity beyond the size effect. The additions of metal largely enhance the activity of gold materials. The gold and copper (oxide) particles go through reassembling during the reactions. In the CO oxidation, small amounts of partially oxidized gold species were generated and “glued” strongly by the new formed Cu2+ species to the support. While in the selective H2S oxidation, it was found that the material is sulfur-resistant during long time reaction. The Stöber silica is proved to be a very promising support, which is non-porous but beneficial to expose active sites of gold nanoparticles to the reactants, lower the pressure drop, and facilitate the heat transformation. It was proved even can be matched with the well-know mesoporous materials that is claimed to be indispensable for the high activity.

Role of silane-treated stöber silica as reinforcing filler for nitrile rubber (NBR) has been studied. Stöber silica is synthesized by sol–gel method, and the surface of silica is modified with the treatment of silane-coupling agent viz. γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS) in varying proportions. Average particle size of stöber silica of spherical shape in the range of 200 to 400 nm is evident from scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surface modification of silica particle with silane-coupling agents decreases surface energy and reduces agglomeration of silica particles in rubber matrix. Stress–strain study and dynamic mechanical analysis of silica-filled composites are compared with the unfilled ones. Analysis of cross-linking density, mechanical properties, and storage moduli indicates a strong rubber–filler interaction in the silane-treated, silica-filled NBR composites. Silane treatment is found to be effective in uniform dispersion of silica in rubber matrix and in improving the mechanical properties of rubber composite. Different functionalities of organosilane at its both end improve the compatibility of silica with rubber matrix and offer better rubber–filler interaction.
