A B S T R A C T S FRIDAY, JULY 2 N A N O S E A 2 0 1 0<br />

In an attempt to use NH2– functions as surface sites for further organic reactions, we studied the chemical<br />

reactivity <strong>of</strong> our TiO2/PABA nano-structured material through coupling reactions with DTPA dianhydride in<br />

dry DMF.<br />

Lanthanum and gadolinium nitrates were chosen in order to check the efficiency <strong>of</strong> these hybrid nanostructured<br />

materials toward the selective separation <strong>of</strong> lanthanides in acidic aqueous solution (to copy<br />

actinide/lanthanide separation). Amounts <strong>of</strong> lanthanides (La and Gd) in aqueous solutions were determined<br />

by ICP-AES spectrometry with a Spectro D (Spectro). Gd3+ and La3+ complexations efficiencies <strong>of</strong> 50 mg<br />

<strong>of</strong> each TiO2/PABA-DTPA-I, -II and -V nano-materials as a function <strong>of</strong> pH exhibited that only<br />

TiO2/PABA-DTPA-II gave a unique selectivity (SGd/La > 76) towards Gd3+ in the pH range <strong>of</strong> 2–5. By<br />

increasing the organic content using TiO2/PABA-DTPA–V, the maximum capacity increased strongly but<br />

the selectivity SGd/La decreased to 12.6 from pH 3. These data showed again that the chemical selforganization<br />

in such hybrid nanostructured materials has a remarkable influence on their physicochemical<br />

properties.3<br />

Other applications such as support for liquid phase selective oxidation catalysis4 , drinkable water cleaning<br />

or as efficient MRI agent will also be addressed in order to demonstrate how control <strong>of</strong> the surface<br />

functionality and hence control <strong>of</strong> the self-assembly process (formed by strongly interacting nanocrystals)<br />

can considerably affect the final mesoscale physicochemical properties.<br />

3 – Conclusion<br />

In conclusion, we have described a simple synthetic methodology for hybrid TiO2 nano-materials which<br />

successfully formed UV sunscreen additives or ionic recognition devices to enable UVA+UVB solar<br />

protection or selective lanthanides separation, respectively. They provide a better understanding in the<br />

requirements <strong>of</strong> self-assembled (-organized) material design for further elaboration <strong>of</strong> functional nanostructured<br />

materials.<br />
