[PMID: 37629869 PMCID: PMC10456868 DOI: 10.3390/ma16165578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, significant efforts have been made in view of a transition from a linear to a circular economy, where the value of products, materials, resources, and waste is maintained as long as possible in the economy. The re-utilization of industrial and agricultural waste into value-added products, such as nanostructured siliceous materials, has become a challenging topic as an effective strategy in waste management and a sustainable model aimed to limit the use of landfill, conserve natural resources, and reduce the use of harmful substances. In light of these considerations, nanoporous silica has attracted attention in various applications owing to the tunable pore dimensions, high specific surface areas, tailorable structure, and facile post-functionalization. In this review, recent progress on the synthesis of siliceous materials from different types of waste is presented, analyzing the factors influencing the size and morphology of the final product, alongside different synthetic methods used to impart specific porosity. Applications in the fields of wastewater/gas treatment and catalysis are discussed, focusing on process feasibility in large-scale productions.

Abstract
Dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) is a suitable nano-carrier for loading pesticides with radially oriented pores and a large surface area. The microemulsion method is standard method to prepare DFNS, and 1-pentanol is taken to replace cyclohexane as an oil solvent due to its high stability and nontoxic property. The results showed that the volume ratio of 1-pentanol (oil) to water (O/W) and the molar ratio of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) had effected on morphology and adsorption properties of DFNS in the water-CTAB-1-pentanol-ethanol-trimethylbenzene (TMB) microemulsion system. DFNS with bicontinuous concentric lamellar morphologies can be synthesized in this microemulsion at the meager O/W volume ratio (0.025-0.045). It features a tight mesoporous structure with a thin dendritic fibrous in 0.03 to 0.04 O/W volume ratio. The particle sizes, surface areas, and porosity of DFNS were positively correlated with the addition of the silica precursor TEOS. The size of DFNS increased from 123 to about 220 nm with the CTAB/TEOS molar ratio decreasing from 0.119 to 0.050. When the molar ratio of CTAB to TEOS = 0.119, DFNS has a smaller particle size (123 nm) with a larger surface area and abundant honeycomb mesopores; the low O/W volume ratio strategy provides theoretical support for the industrialization development of DFNS and nano-pesticides, which plays a profound role in promoting the sustainable development of pesticide reduction, efficiency and green agriculture.

Multifunctional Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Oral Drug Delivery. COATINGS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/coatings12030358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Nanotechnology has transformed engineering designs across a wide spectrum of materials and applications. Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MSNs) are one of the new fabrications of nanostructures as medication delivery systems. MSNs have pore sizes varying from 2 to 50 nm, making them ideal for a variety of biological applications. They offer unique characteristics such as a tunable surface area, well-defined surface properties, and the ability to improve drug pharmacokinetic characteristics. Moreover, they have the potential to reduce adverse effects by delivering a precise dose of medications to a specific spot rather than the more frequent systemic delivery, which diffuses across tissues and organs. In addition, the vast number of pores allow drug incorporation and transportation of drugs to various sites making MSNs a feasible platform for orally administered drugs. Though the oral route is the most suitable and convenient platform for drug delivery, conventional oral drug delivery systems are associated with several limitations. Surpassing gastrointestinal barriers and the low oral bioavailability of poorly soluble medicines pose a major challenge in the pharmaceutical industry. This review provides insights into the role of MSNs and its mechanism as an oral drug delivery system.

Abstract
Recently, a new family of "dendritic" mesoporous silica nanoparticles has attracted great interest with widespread applications. Despite a large number of publications (>800), the terminology of "dendritic" is ambiguous. Understanding what possible "dendritic structures" are, their formation mechanisms and the underlying structure-property relationship is fundamentally important. With the advance of characterization techniques such as electron tomography, two types of tree branch-like and flower-like structures can be distinguished, both described as "dendritic" in literature. In this review, we start with the definition of "dendritic", then provide critical analysis of reported dendritic silica nanoparticles according to their structural classification. We also update the understandings of the formation mechanisms of two types of "dendritic" nanoparticles, with a focus on how to control different structural parameters. Various applications of dendritic mesoporous nanoparticles are also reviewed with a focus in biomedical field, providing new insights into the structure-property relationship in this family of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica thin film has been widely used in various fields, particularly the medical implant coating for drug delivery. However, some drawbacks remain with the films produced by traditional method (evaporation-induced self-assembly, EISA), such as the poor permeability caused by their horizontal aligned mesochannels. In this study, the vertical aligned mesoporous silica thin film (VMSTF) is uniformly grown alongside the walls of titania nanotubes array via a biphase stratification growth method, resulting in a hierarchical two-layered nanotubular structure. Due to the exposure of opened mesopores, VMSTF exhibits more appealing performances, including rapid degradation, efficient small-molecular drug (dexamethasone) loading and release, enhanced early adhesion and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. This is the first time successfully depositing VMSTF on nanoporous substrate and our findings suggest that the VMSTF may be a promising candidate for bone implant surface coating to obtain bioactive performances.

Abstract
Due to the theragnostic potential of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), these were extensively investigated as a novel approach to improve clinical outcomes. Boasting an impressive array of formulations and modifications, MSNs demonstrate significant in vivo efficacy when used to identify or treat myriad malignant diseases in preclinical models. As MSNs continue transitioning into clinical trials, a thorough understanding of the characteristics of effective MSNs is necessary. This review highlights recent discoveries and advances in MSN understanding and technology. Specific focus is given to cancer theragnostic approaches using MSNs. Characteristics of MSNs such as size, shape, and surface properties are discussed in relation to effective nanomedicine practice and projected clinical efficacy. Additionally, tumor-targeting options used with MSNs are presented with extensive discussion on active-targeting molecules. Methods for decreasing MSN toxicity, improving site-specific delivery, and controlling release of loaded molecules are further explained. Challenges facing the field and translation to clinical environments are presented alongside potential avenues for continuing investigations.

Abstract
The interest in the design and controlled fabrication of dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres (DMSNs) emanates from their widespread application in drug-delivery carriers, catalysis and nanodevices owing to their unique open three-dimensional dendritic superstructures with large pore channels and highly accessible internal surface areas. A variety of synthesis strategies have been reported, but there is no basic consensus on the elucidation of the pore structure and the underlying formation mechanism of DMSNs. Although all the DMSNs show a certain degree of similarity in structure, do they follow the same synthesis mechanism? What are the exact pore structures of DMSNs? How did the bimodal pore size distributions kinetically evolve in the self-assembly? Can the relative fractions of small mesopores and dendritic large pores be precisely adjusted? In this review, by carefully analysing the structures and deeply understanding the formation mechanism of each reported DMSN and coupling this with our research results on this topic, we conclude that all the DMSNs indeed have the same mesostructures and follow the same dynamic self-assembly mechanism using microemulsion droplets as super templates in the early reaction stage, even without the oil phase.

Abstract
Core-shell particles are desirable for many applications, but the precise design and control of their structure remains a great challenge. In this work, we developed a strategy to fabricate carbon-coated SiOx (SiOx@C) core-shell particles via a sol-gel method using the simultaneous hydrolysis-condensation of tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS), the polymerization of 3-aminophenol and formaldehyde in the presence of ammonia as a basic catalyst, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a cationic surfactant in the mixed solution of water and methanol followed by the carbonization process. Results from this study provide new insight into the design of core-shell particles by using TMOS as an effective silica precursor for the first time with a well-controlled reaction rate and spherical morphology. To obtain an in-depth understanding of the formation of core-shell structure, a possible mechanism is also proposed in this article. When tested as an anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), the obtained SiOx@C particles delivered a reversible capacity of 509.2 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1. This electrochemical performance is significantly better than those of similar composites without the core-shell structure. The capacity retention after 100 cycles was approximately 80%. These results suggest great promise for the proposed SiOx@C particles with core-shell structure, which may have potential applications in the improvement of various energy-storage materials.
