Stimuli-Responsive Shapeshifting Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Abstract: Stimuli-responsive materials have attracted great interest in catalysis, sensing, and drug delivery applications and are typically constituted by soft components. We present a one-pot synthetic method for a type of inorganic silica-based shape change material that is responsive to water vapor exposure. After the wetting treatment, the cross-sectional shape of aminated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with hexagonal pore lattice changed from hexagonal to six-angle-star, accompanied by the loss of periodic… Show more

“…Porous materials, such as covalent organic frameworks (COF), [1,2] Metal-organic frameworks (MOF), [3,4] zeolites, [5,6] mesoporous silica, [7,8] aerogels, [9][10][11] and sponges, [12,13] have received considerable attentions in recent years due to their crucial applications in gas storage, absorption, separation, catalysis, sensing, energy, thermal insulation, and biomedicine etc. The physical properties and applications of the porous materials mostly rely on their pore parameters, [14,15] such as pore size, pore volume, porosity, regularity, and dispersity, [16][17][18] and can be tuned by different synthesis methods.…”

“…), different composite particles could be obtained. [24][25][26] However there exist certain limitations in this method. First, the sol-gel reaction must be conducted in solvent and the separation/collection of nal products would be difficult; secondly, the porous structure is mesoporous and the precise structure could not be controlled.…”
