The word “protocell” refers to lipid bilayer-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (LB-MSNs) which have recently come to light as a new-generation cargo transport vehicle that combines the special features of both organic and inorganic components. LB-MSN can regulate biodistribution effectively due to the presence of bilayer encapsulation while high payload capacity was due to the presence […]
Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with thiol functionalized mesoporous silica (TFMS) were prepared and usedas a novel adsorbent for Pb2+ and Ag+ removal. FTIR spectra confirmed the Fe3O4 nanoparticle cores coated with mesoporous silica and indicated the presence of thiol groups on the surface. XRD analyses showed that synthesized adsorbent has a face-centered cubic magnetite phase […]
