The present invention relates to granular functionalized silicas, wherein the Hg pore volume (<4 μm) is more than 0.80 ml/g, d.sub.Q3=10% is more than 400 μm, d.sub.Q3=90% is less than 3000 μm, the ratio of d.sub.50 without ultrasound exposure to d.sub.50 after 3 min of ultrasound exposure is <4.00 and the carbon content is 1.0-15.0% by weight. The inventive granular functionalized silicas can be used as a support material, especially as a support for enzymes.

A method of increasing hydrothermal stability of an adsorbent comprising a small pore cationic zeolite in a swing adsorption process is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of coating the zeolite with a silylation agent to result in a silylated zeolite; and performing the swing adsorption process. The swing adsorption process comprises contacting the silylated zeolite with feed stream comprising water. The swing adsorption process may comprise removing CO.sub.2 from a feed stream comprising CO.sub.2 and water.

Polymeric sorbents for aldehydes including formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are provided. More particularly, the polymeric sorbents are sulfonic acid-containing polymeric materials with impregnated urea-based compounds. Additionally, methods of making the polymeric sorbent, methods of sorbing aldehydes (i.e., aldehydes that are volatile under use conditions) on the polymeric sorbents, compositions resulting from the sorption of aldehydes on the polymeric sorbents, and filters containing the polymeric sorbents are provided.

The present invention provides a method for hydrophobization of a hydrophilic material, the method including introducing a hydrophobic group into a hydroxyl group (—OH group) on a surface of the hydrophilic material. A method for hydrophobization of a hydrophilic material, the method comprising reacting a hydrophilic material to be hydrophobized with a hydrophobic group-containing silylating agent in presence of an amino acid as a reaction accelerator, to introduce a hydrophobic group-containing silyl group to a surface of the hydrophilic material. A hydrophobized silica gel column filler is produced by using the method. Further, a hydrophobized silica gel column is produced by filling a column with the hydrophobized silica gel column filler.

An organic light emitting display device may include a filling part filling a space between a second substrate and an organic light emitting diode, and a dam structure disposed in a non-display area and surrounding the filling part. At least one of the dam structure and the filling part includes a getter. The getter of the present disclosure is composed of magnesium oxide particles whose surfaces are modified into a first surface modification part made of an amino silane-based compound and a second surface modification part bound to the first surface modification part and made of a compound containing an acrylate group and a methacrylate group. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an organic light emitting display device that has high transparency and of which optical properties and durability are improved by minimizing permeation of water and oxygen.

Provided herein are stationary phase compositions comprising a chromatographic surface of porous or non-porous core material comprising a surface modifier for use in chromatographic separations.

The present specification relates to compositions, devices, apparatus, methods, kits and systems for sample preparation (e.g., separation, reduction or removal of small molecules from biomolecules in a sample). Exemplary small molecules that can be separated, reduced or removed have a molecular weight range of <2000 Da. and may include, but are not limited to, dyes, biotin, affinity tags, crosslinkers, reducing agents, labels, nanoparticles, radioactive ligands, mass tags, unreacted molecules and combinations, intermediates and derivatives of the foregoing. Exemplary biomolecules present in a sample, include but are not limited to, proteins, glycoproteins, antibodies, peptides, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, carbohydrates and lipids. Methods, compositions, kits, devices, apparatus and systems of the disclosure may advantageously provide superior separation of small molecule contaminants and additionally reduce time and expenses related to separation of small molecules from larger biomolecules in samples. Biomolecules separated as set forth herein are amenable to better downstream processing.

A method of grafting a silica support includes adding the silica support to a solvent, resulting in a first solution, adding an amount of silane to the first solution, resulting in a second solution, filtering grafted silica support from the second solution, and drying the grafted silica support.
