Doxorobicin as cargo in a redox-responsive drug delivery system capped with water dispersible ZnS nanoparticles

“…Research concerning mesoporous silica and ZnS nanoparticles was up till now more oriented to quantum size effects and optical properties of such materials. 21,22 Materials and methods…”

In situ synthesis of a highly crystalline Tb-doped YAG nanophosphor using the mesopores of silica monoliths as a template

“…Ordered mesoporous silica sieves like MCM41 and SBA15 have been widely used as host matrices for various luminescent materials including rare earth complexes, rare earth metal oxides, rare earth fluorides, dye molecules and quantum dots. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] However, ordered mesoporous silica sieves require relatively expensive surfactants and triblock copolymers (e.g. P123, F127) used as structure-directing agents.…”

One pot synthesis of functionalized SBA-15 by using an 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonamide-modified organosilane as precursor

“…Among the 8-hydroxyquinoline complexes, Tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (AlQ 3 ) has been successfully applied in organic light emitting diodes (OLED) [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and some of the 8-HQ lanthanide complexes are promising candidates for practical applications in NIR-luminescent optical devices due to their excellent luminescent properties [20][21][22]. In recent years, incorporation of 8-HQ into the nanochannels of mesoporous silica has attracted many efforts for preparation of solid luminescent materials and significant luminescent properties has been obtained by linking the metal complexes to these functionalized mesoporous materials [22][23][24][25][26][27]. Mesoporous silicas are suitable host materials due to their low absorption and emission in the visible spectrum and significant properties such as high surface areas and large ordered pores [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”
