    Abstract:
    This review details the recent advancements in the design of mesoporous silica nanomaterials for controlled release drug, gene and neurotransmitter delivery applications. The high surface area (>900 m2/g), tunable pore diameter (2–20 nm) and uniform mesoporous structure (hexagonal channels or cubic pores) of the mesoporous silicas offer a unique advantage for loading and releasing large quantities of biomedical agents. Recent breakthroughs in controlling the particle size and shape of these materials have greatly improved the biocompatibility and the cellular uptake efficiency. The strategy of using various removable capping moieties, such as photo- or redox-responsive organic groups, inorganic nanoparticles, dendrimers and polymers, to encapsulate guest biomolecules inside the porous matrices further enables the utilization of these surface-functionalized mesoporous silica nanomaterials for stimuli-responsive controlled release in vitro and in vivo. In addition to the reviewed studies, many new and exciting applications of these novel materials will soon be realized.

    Mesoporous silica with hexagonal type structure containing amine functional group was introduced. Firstly, aminopropyl hexagonal mesoporous silica was synthetized in a co-condensation process, via templating route of n-dodecylamine. Then synthesized mesoporous material were characterized, and FT-IR spectrum confirmed the presence of amine group and CHN analysis determined the amount of organic layer. The high surface area (750 m2/g) was determined by applying nitrogen adsorption-desorption technique. The morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy which proved hexagonal structure. The crystallinity of mesoporous material was observed in XRD pattern of this material. According to previous background of such material in adsorbing drug, herein, the efficiency of this material in adsorbing of 5-fluorouracil was evaluated through solid phase extraction method in aqueous and plasma media with high performance liquid chromatography. The extraction efficiency was evaluated for drug concentrations of 500-2000 ng/ml by means of 5-20 mg/ml hexagonal mesoporous silica in both media. The results showed good to excellent recovery rate of in both aqueous and plasma medium which confirmed that the aminopropyl functionalized hexagonal mesoporous silica could be considered as promising device for drug bioanalysis.

    Abstract We report the fabrication of highly densified mesoporous bulk silica consisting of colloidal mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) by using a hydrothermal hot-pressing method. No cracks or voids are found in the synthesized bulk. The mesoporous structure of the bulk is maintained as well as that of the original MSNs. The MSN-based bulk with large pore volume shows potential as a low-k material.

    Hexagonal mesoporous silica MCM-41 and SBA-3 were synthesized in basic or acidic medium by using mixed surfactants cetyltrimethy lammonium bromide and n-dodecylamine. X-ray diffraction and N 2 adsorption isotherm showed that the synthesized silica exhibited a well-ordered hexagonal pore structure and mesoporous pore size distributions. The effects of TMAOH/Si on the structural properties of the MCM-41 and HCl/Si on the SBA-3 were investigated. It was found that the hexagonal mesoporous silica can be formed with lower molar ratio of mixed surfactants to silica from 0.2460 to 0.264.

    Highly ordered mesoporous silica, SBA-15 was synthesized using triblock copolymer (P123) as template and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silica source. Through the post-synthesis treatment, pore surface of the mesoporous silica was modified with aminosilane and then Eu3+ ions were incorporated in the modified mesoporous silica for the formation of Eu complex. Mesoporous silica with the hexagonal mesostructure was characterized by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The successful modification of the mesoporous silica was verified by FT-IR spectra and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms. Eu incorporated mesoporous silicas showed different photoluminescent intensities depending on the pH of acidic and basic aqueous solutions.

    It has been more than 30 years since the first ordered mesoporous silica molecular sieve (MCM-41) was reported, but the enthusiasm for exploiting mesoporous silica is still growing due to its superior properties, such as its controllable morphology, excellent hosting capability, easy functionalization, and good biocompatibility. In this narrative review, the brief history of the discovery of mesoporous silica and several important mesoporous silica families are summarized. The development of mesoporous silica microspheres with nanoscale dimensions, hollow mesoporous silica microspheres, and dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres is also described. Meanwhile, common synthesis methods for traditional mesoporous silica, mesoporous silica microspheres, and hollow mesoporous silica microspheres are discussed. Then, we introduce the biological applications of mesoporous silica in fields such as drug delivery, bioimaging, and biosensing. We hope this review will help people to understand the history of the development of mesoporous silica molecular sieves and become familiar with their synthesis methods and applications in biology.
