Mesoporous silica nanoparticles in nanotechnology

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2012
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are a versatile drug delivery system that can be used for loading of different guest molecules such as peptides, proteins, anticancer agents, and genetic material. MSNs are considered promising drug carriers due to their tuneable particle size, pore structure, and surface functionalization.

Synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles

Chemical Society Reviews, 2013
Good control of the morphology, particle size, uniformity and dispersity of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) is of increasing importance to their use in catalyst, adsorption, polymer filler, optical devices, bio-imaging, drug delivery, and biomedical applications.

Dodecagonal tiling in mesoporous silica

Nature, 2012
Recent advances in the fabrication of quasicrystals in soft matter systems have increased the length scales for quasicrystals into the mesoscale range (20 to 500 ångströms). Thus far, dendritic liquid crystals, ABC-star polymers, colloids and inorganic nanoparticles have been reported to yield quasicrystals.

Adsorption of DNA into Mesoporous Silica

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2006
In these experiments, double-stranded, linear DNA sequences were adsorbed into the pores of spherically shaped acid-prepared mesoporous silica (APMS). The lengths of the sequences were either 760 base pairs or 2000 base pairs. DNA adsorption into the interior of the mesoporous material was confirmed using confocal microscopy of sequences containing ...

Cytotoxicity of mesoporous silica nanomaterials

Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2008
We here measure the toxicity of MCM-41, a mesoporous silica nanomaterial, two of its functionalized analogs, AP-T, which has grafted aminopropyl groups and MP-T, which has grafted mercaptopropyl groups, and spherical silica nanoparticles (SiO(2)), toward human neuroblastoma (SK-N-SH) cells.

Understanding the Phase Emergence of Mesoporous Silica

Small, 2014
The cylinder-to-vesicle phase transition of mesoporous silica and the inter-dependence of the controlling factors are studied. (3-Mercaptopropyl)trimethoxylsilane (MPTMS) is used to alter the phase outcome of mesoporous silica from the cylindrical MCM-41 to the vesicular phase.

Alternative Silica Sources in the Synthesis of Ordered Mesoporous Silica

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2021
In this work, the influence of the use of alternative inexpensive silica sources on the structural, morphological and textural properties of MCM-41 like mesoporous materials to be used for biomedical applications has been investigated. The Liquid Crystal Template Method has been used to prepare the ordered mesoporous structured materials according to ...
