Description
Engineering material porosity was initiated to harness their properties in catalysis and separation. Shortly after, adapting porosity to nanotechnology was embraced by the biomedical field: Particle porosity not only can accommodate, concentrate and protect nanocatalysts or nanotherapeutics from small molecule drugs to nucleic acids and proteins, but we have found that they also exhibit intrinsic properties that guide the interaction of the nanomaterials within their biological environment, including cell lipid membrane, uptake, biocompatibility, particle dissolution, but also to some extent their distribution in body organs. In this presentation we will first revise the basics of pore formation within silica matrices, their interaction with therapeutics and selected works by our group in bio- and catalytic applications of porous silica materials.
