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 />
