The implications of organically-modified silica-based materials in electrochemical science is reviewed along with some selected recent trends in the field of functionalized and sol–gel silica electrochemistry. These recent trends include the electro-assisted generation of organosilica films on solid electrode surfaces, the preparation and applications of sol–gel derived composite (carbon, gold,...

Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) have shown great potential for being utilized in Nanocarriers (NCs) applications throughout the Drug Delivery System (DDS). However, there are several obstacles to make a practical magnetic NCs, such as low dispersity and high toxicity biological systems, also surface area drug loading. In this work, NCs been synthesized through facile three-s...

We report the synthesis of a new Au nanocatalyst with increased thermal stability. This catalyst system consisted of gold nanoparticles attached to functionalized TiO2/SiO2 core-shell nanocomposites, together with the encapsulation of mesoporous silica. The synthesis process mainly involved four steps, which included the synthesis of the TiO2/SiO2 core-shell composites, synthesis of the Au/TiO2...

Antioxidants have an important role in control and prevention of dangerous diseases like cancers, but instability and high solubility of the antioxidants are <span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #00000...

It is difficult to deposit shape-controlled nanoparticles into a mesoporous framework while preserving the shape. For shaped platinum nanoparticles, which are typically 5-10 nm in size, capillary inclusion by sonication or the formation of a mesoporous framework around the shaped platinum nanoparticles has been attempted, but the nanoparticles aggregated or their shapes were degraded easily. In...

In this paper we describe the preparation of fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for traceable drug delivery systems. The nanoparticles were prepared following a sol-gel procedure, incorporating a modified perylenediimide dye in the silica structure. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy show that the nanoparticles are monodispersed, with a spheroid sh...

In this work, we report a portable microfluidic chip based on Si-Porous-Pt MSNs(Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles) -enhanced electrochemical detection for single-bacteria diognostic. The possibility of single-bacteria detection is realized here by using electroactive molecules modified on Si-Porous-Pt MSNs(Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles) to detect and differentiate Staphylococcus aureus and Pseu...

This review summarizes the of mesoporous nanoparticles field cancer immunotherapy. Strategies to regulate tumour microenvironment for immune activation are presented by highlighting structural compositional attributes nanoparticles.

fe3o4-containing cotton-like mesoporous silica system (fe3o4@ncsm) was studied with regard to its performance towards the photodecolorization of bromothymol blue (btb) aqueous solution. the surface properties of the functionalized catalyst were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like ftir, xrd, bet, sem and tem. the n2 adsorption–desorption analysis shows that the mesostructure...

The surface of mercapto-functionalized mesoporous silica having a highly ordered open pore network was modified into a super-hydrophilic surface through a stepwise sulfonation process involving oxidation and ionization reactions. The initial mesoporous silica was prepared using an acid-catalyzed sol-gel reaction between tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) in th...
