Abstract
Cancer is one of the most challenging, life-threatening illnesses to cure, with over 10 million new cases diagnosed each year globally. Improved diagnostic cum treatment with common side-effects are warranting for successful therapy. Nanomaterials are recognized to improve early diagnosis, imaging, and treatment. Recently, multifunctional nanocomposites attracted considerable interest due to their low-cost production, and ideal thermal and chemical stability, and will be beneficial in future diagnostics and customized treatment capacity. Stimuli-Responsive Hybrid Metal Nanocomposites (SRHMNs) based nanocomposite materials pose the on/off delivery of bioactive compounds such as medications, genes, RNA, and DNA to specific tissue or organs and reduce toxicity. They simultaneously serve as sophisticated imaging and diagnostic tools when certain stimuli (e.g., temperature, pH, redox, ultrasound, or enzymes) activate the nanocomposite, resulting in the imaging-guided transport of the payload at defined sites. This review in detail addresses the recent advancements in the design and mechanism of internal breakdown processes of the functional moiety from stimuli-responsive systems in response to a range of stimuli coupled with metal nanoparticles. Also, it provides a thorough understanding of SRHMNs, enabling non-invasive interventional therapy by resolving several difficulties in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Highly efficient pH-modulated cargo release was achieved with a new hybrid nanocarrier composed of a mesoporous silica core with functionalized pores and a grafted pH-responsive crosslinked polymer shell of 2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate (pKa ≈ 6.5). The retention/release performance of the system was optimized by a novel approach using selective functionalization of the silica pores to tune the carrier-cargo interaction and by tunning the amount of grafted polymer. The system features excellent retention of cationic cargo at low pH and a burst release at higher pH. This results from the expanded-collapsed conformation transition of the pH-responsive polymer shell and the simultaneous change in the interaction between the cargo and the polymer shell and the modified pore walls. At low pH, the electrostatic interaction of the cationic cargo with the protonated amine groups of the extended polymer shell retains the cargo, resulting in very low leakage (OFF state). At high pH, the electrostatic interaction with the cargo is lost (due to deprotonation of the polymer amine groups), and the polymer shell collapses, squeezing out the cargo in a burst release (ON state). Pore functionalization in combination with the stimuli-responsive polymer shell is a very promising strategy to design high-performance ON:OFF smart hybrid nanocarriers for stimuli-actuated cargo release, with great potential for application in the controlled release of drugs and other biologically active agents.

Abstract
This paper presents a facile and low-cost strategy for fabrication lysozyme-loaded mesoporous silica nanotubes (MSNTs) by using silk fibroin (SF) nanofiber templates. The “top-down method” was adopted to dissolve degummed silk in CaCl2/ formic acid (FA) solvent, and the solution containing SF nanofibrils was used for electrospinning to prepare SF nanofiber templates. As SF contains a large number of -OH, -NH2 and -COOH groups, the silica layer could be easily formed on its surface by the Söber sol-gel method without adding any surfactant or coupling agent. After calcination, the MSNTs were obtained with inner diameters about 200 nm, the wall thickness ranges from 37 ± 2 nm to 66 ± 3 nm and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area was up to 200.48 m2/g, the pore volume was 1.109 cm3/g. By loading lysozyme, the MSNTs exhibited relatively high drug encapsulation efficiency up to 31.82% and an excellent long-term sustained release in 360 h (15 days). These results suggest that the MSNTs with the hierarchical structure of mesoporous and macroporous will be a promising carrier for applications in biomacromolecular drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymer materials are used in smart nanocarriers to provide the stimuli-actuated mechanical and chemical changes that modulate cargo delivery. To take full advantage of the potential of stimuli-responsive polymers for controlled delivery applications, these have been grafted to the surface of mesoporous silica particles (MSNs), which are mechanically robust, have very large surface areas and available pore volumes, uniform and tunable pore sizes and a large diversity of surface functionalization options. Here, we explore the impact of different RAFT-based grafting strategies on the amount of a pH-responsive polymer incorporated in the shell of MSNs. Using a "grafting to" (gRAFT-to) approach we studied the effect of polymer chain size on the amount of polymer in the shell. This was compared with the results obtained with a "grafting from" (gRAFT-from) approach, which yield slightly better polymer incorporation values. These two traditional grafting methods yield relatively limited amounts of polymer incorporation, due to steric hindrance between free chains in "grafting to" and to termination reactions between growing chains in "grafting from." To increase the amount of polymer in the nanocarrier shell, we developed two strategies to improve the "grafting from" process. In the first, we added a cross-linking agent (gRAFT-cross) to limit the mobility of the growing polymer and thus decrease termination reactions at the MSN surface. On the second, we tested a hybrid grafting process (gRAFT-hybrid) where we added MSNs functionalized with chain transfer agent to the reaction media containing monomer and growing free polymer chains. Our results show that both modifications yield a significative increase in the amount of grafted polymer.

Abstract
Clinically, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm infection inevitably induces the failure of bone implants. Herein, a hydrophilic and viscous hydrogel of poly(vinyl alcohol) modified with chitosan, polydopamine, and NO release donor was formed on a red phosphorus nanofilm deposited on a titanium implant (Ti-RP/PCP/RSNO). Under the irradiation of near-infrared light (NIR), peroxynitrite (•ONOO-) was formed by the reaction between the released NO and superoxide (•O2-) produced by the RP nanofilm. Specifically, we revealed the antibacterial mechanism of the ONOO- against the MRSA biofilm. In addition, osteogenic differentiation was promoted and inflammatory polarization was regulated by the released NO without NIR irradiation through upregulating the expression of Opn and Ocn genes and TNF-α. The MRSA biofilm was synergistically eradicated by •ONOO-, hyperthermia, and •O2- under NIR irradiation as well as the immunoreaction of the M1 polarization. The in vivo results also confirmed the excellent osteogenesis and biofilm eradication by released NO from the RP/PCP/RSNO system under NIR irradiation, indicating the noninvasive tissue reconstruction of MRSA-infected tissues through phototherapy and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Periprosthetic infection is considered the main cause of implant failure, which is expected to be solved by fabricating an antibacterial coating on the surface of the implant. Nevertheless, systemic antibiotic treatment still represents the mainstream method for preventing infection, and few antibacterial coatings are applied clinically. This is because the externally introduced traditional antibacterial coatings suffer from the risk of invalidation and tissue toxicity induced by the consumption of antibacterial agents, degradation, and shedding. In this work, we proposed a rapid photo-sonotherapy by creating an oxygen deficiency on a titanium (Ti) implant through sulfur (S)-doping (Ti-S-TiO2-x), which endowed the implants with great sonodynamic and photothermal ability. Without introducing an external antibacterial coating, it reached a high antibacterial efficiency of 99.995% against Staphylococcus aureus under 15 min near-infrared light and ultrasound treatments. Furthermore, bone infection was successfully treated after combination treatments, and improved osseointegration was observed. Importantly, the S-doped Ti implant immersed in water for 6 months showed an unchanged structure and properties, suggesting that the Ti implant with intrinsic modification showed stable antibacterial performance under exogenous stimuli with a high antibacterial performance in vivo. This photo-sonotherapy based on sulfur doping is also promising for cancer therapy with biosafety.

Abstract
Poly(2-vinyl pyridine)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (P2VP-b-PEO) linear diblock copolymer and polystyrene-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS10PEO10) heteroarm star copolymer were used as building elements to prepare organic-inorganic hybrids. By using the layer-by-layer (LbL) methodology, these elements were integrated on mesoporous silica through non-covalent interactions, namely, ionic and H-bonding. For the latter, tannic acid (TA) was used as an intermediate layer. The deposition of the various layers was monitored by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), electrophoretic measurements, and confocal microscopy. The final silica hybrid, bearing alternating P2VP-b-PEO and PS10PEO10 star layers was capable of carrying one hydrophilic and two hydrophobic chemical species in distinct compartments. These multicompartmental organic-inorganic hybrids could be used as nanostructured carriers for pH-responsive multiple drug delivery and potential theranostic applications.

Abstract
Temperature and H2O2 dual-responsive nanoparticles were fabricated from ferrocene modified mesoporous silica (MSN-Fc) and β-cyclodextrin-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (β-CD-PNIPAM) star-shaped polymer due to the host-guest interactions for controlled drug release. The formation and structure of β-CD-PNIPAM@MSN-Fc composite nanoparticles was confirmed by FTIR, TGA, TEM and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The size of nanoparticles was about 100-150 nm with well-ordered mesoporous structure and PNIPAM chains coating on the surface as outer shell. The channels of MSNs and hydrophobic cavities of β-CD were all contributed to the high drug loading capacity for nanoparticles. The release of DOX from nanoparticles was enhanced with the increase of temperature above LCST or adding H2O2 in ambient O2. The release kinetics were studied using different models to explain drug release mechanism. Furthermore, the drug loaded composite nanoparticles exhibited excellent anti-cancer activity.

Abstract
Among a variety of inorganic-based nanomaterials, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have several attractive features for application as a delivery system, due to their high surface areas, large pore volumes, uniform and tunable pore sizes, high mechanical stability, and a great diversity of surface functionalization options. We developed novel hybrid MSNs composed of a mesoporous silica nanostructure core and a pH-responsive polymer shell. The polymer shell was prepared by RAFT polymerization of 2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate (pKa ~6.5), using a hybrid grafting approach. The hybrid nanoparticles have diameters of ca. 100 nm at pH < 6.5 and ca. 60 nm at pH > 6.5. An excellent control of cargo release is achieved by the combined effect of electrostatic interaction of the cargo with the charged silica and the extended cationic polymer chains at low pH, and the reduction of electrostatic attraction with a simultaneous collapse of the polymer chains to a globular conformation at higher pH. The system presents a very low (almost null) release rate at acidic pH values and a large release rate at basic pH, resulting from the squeezing-out effect of the coil-to-globule transition in the polymer shell.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2019; 176:394-403. [PMID: 30660963 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2019.01.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2018] [Revised: 01/02/2019] [Accepted: 01/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
In this study, Schiff-base copolymer coating and mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Polymer@MSN) were synthesized by ARGET ATRP and sol-gel method respectively. Imine bonds acted as the pH-cleavable linker between copolymer gatekeepers and MSN to promote the controlled-release performance of DOX. The DOX-loaded nanoparticles (Polymer@MSN-DOX) were spherical with a diameter of approximately 150 nm. At pH 5.0 (pH of intracellular environment), the cumulative release of DOX within 72 h was 45% higher than that at pH 7.4 (normal physiological environment) due to the cleavage of imine bonds, showing obvious pH-responsive drug release performance. Confocal microscopy studies and in vitro cytotoxicity results revealed that Polymer@MSN-DOX could smoothly enter HepG2 cells to release DOX and show a high cytotoxicity. Noted specially that molecular dynamics simulations were applied to investigate the microcosmic adsorption/diffusion interaction between drug molecules and MSN. Simulation results showed that the driving force of DOX adsorption in mesoporous channels was originated from hydrogen bonding interaction between the mesoporous wall and DOX molecules and π-π conjugated interaction between benzene rings in addition to concentration differences. The structural design of composite nanocarriers in this research could provide guidance for the application of pH-responsive MSN-based drug delivery system.

Abstract
Nature as the ultimate inspiration can direct, gate, and selectively transport species across channels to fulfil a specific targeted function. Harnessing such precision over local structure and functionality at the nanoscale is expected to lead to indispensable developments in synthetic channels for application in catalysis, filtration and sensing, and in drug delivery. By combining mesoporous materials with localised charge-switchable poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) brushes, precisely controlling pore filling and exploring the possibility of incorporating two different responsive polymers, we hope to approach the precision control of natural systems in the absence of an external force. Here, we report a simple one-step approach to prepare a mesoporous silica thin film with ~8 nm pores functionalised with a photoiniferter by combining sol⁻gel chemistry and evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA). We show that surface-initiated photoiniferter-mediated polymerisation (SI-PIMP) allows the incorporation of a high polymer content up to geometrical pore blocking by the simple application of UV light in the presence of a monomer and solvent, proceeding in a controlled manner in pore sizes below 10 nm, with the potential to tune the material properties through the formation of surface-grafted block copolymers.

Abstract
In this work the adsorption and the release of ampicillin - a β-lactam penicillin-like antibiotic - from MCM-41, SBA-15, and (amino functionalized) SBA-15-NH2 ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) materials were investigated. The silica matrices differ for their pore size (SBA-15 vs. MCM-41) mainly, and also for surface charge (SBA-15 and MCM-41, vs. SBA-15-NH2). OMS samples were characterized through small-angle X-rays scattering (SAXS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and potentiometric titrations. The quantification of immobilized and released ampicillin was monitored by mean of UV-Vis spectroscopy. Experimental adsorption isotherms evidenced that ampicillin's loading is not related to the pore size (dBJH) of the adsorbent. Indeed the maximal loadings were 237mg/g for SBA-15 (dBJH=6.5nm), 278mg/g for MCM-41 (dBJH=2.2nm), and 333mg/g for SBA-15-NH2 (dBJH=5.6nm). Loading seems, instead, to be related to the surface charge density (σ) of the sorbent surface. Indeed, at pH 7.4 ampicillin drug is negatively charged and likely prefers to interact with SBA-15-NH2 (σSBA-15-NH2=+0.223Cm-2) rather than the slightly negatively charged silicas (σSBA-15=-0.044Cm-2 and σMCM-41=-0.033Cm-2). Similarly, ampicillin release is affected by interfacial interactions. Indeed, we found a burst release from pure silica samples (SBA-15 and MCM-41), whereas a sustained one from SBA-15-NH2 sample. We explain this behavior as a result of an attractive interaction between the protonated amino group of SBA-15-NH2 and the negatively charged carboxylate group of ampicillin. In summary, in order to obtain a sustained drug release, the chemical nature of the matrix's surface plays a role which is more important than its textural features. SBA-15-NH2 matrix is hence a suitable candidate for local sustained release of antibiotic drugs.

Abstract
The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical properties of interfaces and has given rise to great advances in surface and interface engineering. Polymer brushes are defined as thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered by one chain end to a solid interface. Significant advances have been made over the past years in the field of polymer brushes. This includes novel developments in SI-CRP, as well as the emergence of novel applications such as catalysis, electronics, nanomaterial synthesis and biosensing. Additionally, polymer brushes prepared via SI-CRP have been utilized to modify the surface of novel substrates such as natural fibers, polymer nanofibers, mesoporous materials, graphene, viruses and protein nanoparticles. The last years have also seen exciting advances in the chemical and physical characterization of polymer brushes, as well as an ever increasing set of computational and simulation tools that allow understanding and predictions of these surface-grafted polymer architectures. The aim of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive review that critically assesses recent advances in the field and highlights the opportunities and challenges for future work.

Abstract
The application of nanotechnology to medicine constitutes a major field of research nowadays. In particular, the use of mesoporous silica and carbon nanoparticles has attracted the attention of numerous researchers due to their unique properties, especially when applied to cancer treatment. Many strategies based on stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have been developed to control the drug release and avoid premature release. Here, we focus on the use of the subtle changes of pH between healthy and diseased areas along the body to trigger the release of the cargo. In this review, different approximations of pH-responsive systems are considered: those based on the use of the host-guest interactions between the nanocarriers and the drugs, those based on the hydrolysis of acid-labile bonds and those based on supramolecular structures acting as pore capping agents.
