Amine-Functionalized Natural Rubber/Mesostructured Silica Nanocomposites for Adsorptive Removal of Clofibric Acid in Aqueous Phase.

ABSTRACT: This study is the first report on the synthesis, characterization and application of amine-functionalized mesoporous nanocomposites based on natural rubber (NR) and wormhole-like mesostructured silica (WMS). In comparison with amine-functionalized WMS (WMS-NH₂), a series of NR/WMS-NH₂ composites were synthesized via an in situ sol-gel method in which the organo-amine group was grafted onto the nanocomposite surface via co-condensation with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS) as the amine-functional group precursor. The NR/WMS-NH₂ materials had a high specific surface area (115-492 m² g^-1) and total pore volume (0.14-1.34 cm³ g^-1) with uniform wormhole-like mesoporous frameworks. The amine concentration of NR/WMS-N
