    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2023) Cussa, jorgelina; Juárez , Juliana María; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Juárez , Juliana María
    Controlled drug administration systems can keep the level of drugs in specific locations in the organism with low toxicity and above the optimal level. We suggest the LP-SBA15 material as a auspicious new host for drug delivery systems because of its low toxicity high biocompatibility and in vivo biodegradability. LP-SBA-15 materials were synthesized and functionalized using 0-15-30% of tert-butylamine (TBA) and used as effective drug delivery systems. The anticancer drug Cyclophosphamide (CP) is an alkylating compound which is a phosphoramide derivative and is habitually used in autoimmune diseases. Reactive oxygen species production has been related to the mechanism of CP-induced cell death or tumor cell killing. The activated metabolites of CP are released in both healthy and tumor tissues and destroy the cellular DNA and proteins as well as mitochondrial and lysosomal membranes. CP was loaded into the nanomaterial of the transporters and characterized by XRD, FTIR, TGA, TEM and texture, determining the adsorption capacity and its release. The release of the drug was studied for each material by simulating the physiological conditions and submerging the composite, at 37 °C with constant stirring, in a HCl solution (0.1 M) for the first two hours and in Buffer solution pH = 7 the following hours to simulate the conditions of the organism. Release experiment were conducted to determine the requisite efficacy of treatment. The study was performed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry to evaluate the amount of CP released. The mechanism of drug release from the LP-SBA-15 matrix was evaluated by adjusting the experimental data, being the Ritger-Peppas. The promising results we obtained for the controlled release of the drug in a controlled manner using the new material, reaching a quick initial release rate and maintaining a constant rate at high moments, allow us to keep the concentration of the drug in the therapeutic efficacy range, applying it to a great extent to the treatment of diseases that require a rapid response. Lastly, it was suggested that the LP-SBA-15 nanomaterial functionalized with 15% TBA was the most desirable system due to they had adequate amounts of both drug loading and release.

    Novel mesoporpous carbon modified with zirconia for hydrogen adsorption.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2021) Venosta, Lisandro; Juárez , Juliana María; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Juárez , Juliana María
    Nanostructured carbon material (CMK-3) modified with zirconium oxide was synthesized by a new direct synthesis technique. Zirconium oxide dispersed in carbon materials (Zr-CMK-3) were characterized by X-ray diffraction, textural properties, UV-Vis-DRS, XPS, and transmission electron microscopy analysis. The goal of this new synthesis method is to avoid the use of inorganic siliceous template (SBA-15), which leads to a shorter and cheaper way to obtain mesoporous carbon, and at the same time incorporate into the framework Zirconium atoms. Zr-CMK-3 material significantly improved H2 storage behaviour (4.6% by weight at 77 K and 10 bar) compared to CMK-3 support. The synthesized material is promising in the absorption of hydrogen by weak bonding forces (physisorption). The activity of the samples to the adsorption of hydrogen molecules is attributed to the improved dispersion of the zirconium oxide, as well as the appropriate use of support, which can probably disperse the zirconium on its large surface area, allowing a great dispersion of the zirconium. The Zr+4 cation is an active species to absorb and store hydrogen through a physisorption process and the carbon plays an important role in the dispersion and size of metal particles. A hydrogen storage mechanism on the active surface of the ZrO2 clusters was proposed. First layer of hydrogen molecules can react with the metal cation through a dihydrogen complex (Kubas interaction). The second layer of hydrogen molecules adsorbed around the metal oxide clusters is due to dipole-like interactions, this is because the metal particle induces dipole forces on the hydrogen molecule. The other layers could also interact by dipole forces; however, the interaction force decreases as the distance to the surface increases. The upper layers could interact with the metal cation by dipole-induced bonding; however, the interaction force decreases as the distance to the surface increases.

    Preparation and characterization of activated CMK-3 modified with vanadium applied in hydrogen storage.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional, 2024) Juárez , Juliana María; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Cussa , jorgelina; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Cussa , jorgelina
    The aim of this work is to synthesize a nanostructured Carbon CMK-3 modified with V in order to increase its capacity in hydrogen storage. The approach that we have followed includes synthesis of nanostructures with the experimental study of its adsorption capacity and storage properties. Ordered nanoporous carbon CMK-3 was synthesized via a two-step impregnation of the SBA-15 mesopores with a solution of sucrose using an incipient wetness method. The sucrose–silica composite was heated at 1173 K for 4 h under nitrogen flow. The silica template was dissolved with 5 wt% hydrofluoric acid in order to remove the silica. The template-free carbon product thus obtained was filtered, washed with deionized water and ethanol, and dried. [1] V-CMK-3 was prepared by wetness impregnation using VCl3 as source of Vanadium in order to increase the amount of hydrogen adsorbed. The sample of V-CMK-3 was treated under H2 flow two times at 1173 K. Porous carbon CMK-3 and the sample modified with V were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS, BET, TEM and SEM. These studies indicate that it was possible to obtain a CMK-3 replica successfully from SBA-15, using sucrose as a carbon precursor. [2] The surface areas are 1320 m2/g and 1050 m2/g for CMK-3 and V-CMK-3, respectively. While the nanomaterial area is significantly smaller with the incorporation of the metal, CMK-3`s characteristic structure is maintained after the metal is within the host, in agreement with the XRD studies. Measurements of hydrogen adsorption at cryogenic temperatures and low pressures were performed. The nanoparticles of V incorporated onto the nanostructured carbon CMK-3 showed higher hydrogen uptake at low and high pressures than CMK-3. (3.4 wt% and 2.2 wt% respectively of H2 sorption at 10 bar and 77 K).

    Mesoporous Cellular Foam (MCF): an efcient and biocompatible nanomaterial for the controlled release of Chlorambucil.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional, 2022) Juárez , Juliana María; Cussa , jorgelina; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno
    Nanotransporters have entered a great deal of exploration attention because of their promising openings in medicine delivery. We propose in this work, the Mesostructured siliceous cellular (MCFs) nanomaterial as a promising new hostfor drug delivery systems because both their specific physicochemical properties, in addition to the high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity, make them seductive for controlled medicine release operations. Chlorambucil, is used as a chemotherapy drug administered for treating some types of cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, low-grade non Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and ovarian cancer. Chlorambucil-loaded Mesostructured cellular foam (MCF-CLB) was prepared and characterized by XRD, TEM, UV Vis DRS, FTIR, and texture analysis determining the adsorption capacity and its release, achieving the required therapeutic efficacy. The release of the drug was conducted by simulating the physiological conditions to reproduce the conditions of the organism. The mechanism of drug release from the MCF-CLB host was evaluated. Different mathematical models were used to adjust the experimental data, the best model describing the phenomenon under study over the entire period is the Weibull model. The auspicious results we attained for the release of the drug using the new material. The main advantage of this release is that the rate of release is fast at the beginning and then gradually decreases until 24 h practically all the drug contained in the carrier is released (>95%).

    Synthesis, characterization and hydrogen storage application of an activated carbon derivated from orange peels waste
    (2022) Juárez, Juliana María; Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
    The recovery and reuse of orange peel waste (OP) is a sustainable strategy in a circular economy. In this research, OP was used as the raw material for the preparation of a novel carbonaceous nanomaterial to be used in the adsorption of hydrogen as an alternative in the use of green hydrogen. Activated carbons were synthesized from orange peel using different synthesis conditions. The activation of the carbon was carried out by means of a chemical process with phosphoric acid as activating agent, varying the the activating agent/precursor ratio, and the contact time between them. The activating agent used is a solution of phosphoric acid (50 wt %) in different weight ratios of acid/precursor of 3:1 or 6:1, with resting time of 24 hours. The best support was obtained using a carbonization time of 1 h, a carbonization temperature of 470 , 6:1 precursor/acid ratio and 24 hours of resting time. According XRD analysis all samples present amorphous structure of activated carbons with BET surface areas of 1000 to 1400 m /g. With the activated carbons obtained with the best structure and texture, the adsorption of hydrogen and the effects on their meso / microporosity were studied. Said material significantly improved H storage behaviour compared to CMK-3 type nanostructured carbon (3.1% by weight at -196,15 C and 10 bar). The synthesized material shows promise in absorbing hydrogen by weak binding forces (physisorption).

    Drug delivery system: large pore SBA-15 as host for ketorolac tromethamine
    (2022) Juárez, Juliana María; Cussa, Jorgelina; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno
    Drug-controlled release systems can keep the level of drugs in precise doses in the body above the optimal level and with low toxicity. We propose the LP-SBA-15 nanomaterial as a promising new host for drug delivery systems because of its high biocompatibility, in vivo biodegradability, and low toxicity. Ketorolac-LP-SBA-15 was prepared and characterized by XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis DRS, TEM, and texture analysis, determining the adsorption capacity and its release, achieving the required therapeutic efficacy. The host shows ordered mesoporous nanochannels with a diameter of 11-12 nm, maintaining the structure with the incorporation of Keto. The mechanism of drug release the LP-SBA-15 host was evaluated. Different mathematical models were used to adjust the experimental data, being the Ritger-Peppas model followed by the Weibull model the best ones. In this work, we show a promising drug storage material for effective encapsulation and controlled release of KETO, achieving the required therapeutic efficacy. Studies indicate that KETO was adsorbed on the channel surface of LP-SBA-15 without affecting the structure or chemical composition of KETO. Controlled drug delivery systems can achieve precise delivery at the time and place of destination, keeping the concentration of the drug at points in the body within the optimal range and below the toxicity threshold. The study also demonstrates the storage capacity and release properties of LPSBA-15 containing KETO. The release of KETO contained in LP-SBA-15 can offer a significant improvement in the controlled release of the drug and the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, positively influenced, by the links formed between the host and drug molecules and by diffusion through the host porosity. The promising results we obtained for the release of the drug thoroughly using the new material, reaching a rapid initial release rate, and maintaining a constant rate afterward, allow us to maintain the concentration of the drug in the therapeutic efficacy range, applying it largely to the treatment of diseases that require a rapid response.
