Mesoporous silicas in materials engineering: Nanodevices for bionanotechnologies

Design and fabrication of intracellular therapeutic cargo delivery systems based on nanomaterials: current status and future perspectives

“…Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are porous microspheres with sizes between 2 and 50 nm, featuring a high specific surface area and adjustable pore size. 116,119 Since it was first prepared by Kresge et al, 120 MSNs have occupied a prominent place in the family of mesoporous materials, and widely used in catalysis, separation, adsorption, and medicine. 119 In the early 21st century, Vallet et al firstly utilized MSNs as a sustained release carrier for the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen.…”

Optimization of Polydimethylsiloxane-Modified Composite Synthesis and Its Impact on Collagen Interactions: Perspectives for Biomedical Applications

“…Furthermore, amalgamating collagen with additional substances, including both natural and synthetic polymers as well as inorganic compounds, is a common strategy to bolster the mechanical strength of these scaffolds [ 6 ]. Silica composites, recognized for their high porosity and surface area, are typically produced via sol–gel methods, yielding biocompatible structures suitable for drug delivery and controlled-release applications [ 7 ], often modified with compounds such as polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) [ 8 ].…”

Modified corn stalk carboxymethyl cellulose, acrylic acid and SBA‐15 based composite hydrogel used for agricultural water retention

“…In recent years, mesoporous silica materials have received much attention because of their large specific surface area, large pore volume, orderly and adjustable pore structure, and abundant surface silanol groups. 29,30 SBA-15 is a type of mesoporous molecular sieve with a two-dimensional hexagonal through-hole structure, and the silica on the skeleton of SBA-15 is generally amorphous. 31 Its synthesis is another important chemical technology that has emerged in recent years and has a wide range of applications in the fields of catalysis, separation, biology and nanomaterials, while its high hydrothermal stability has opened up new research areas in the disciplines of catalysis, adsorption and separation, and advanced inorganic materials.…”
