چکیده
A novel, bio-inspired templating platform technology is reported for the synthesis of biocompatible oil-core silica-shell nanocapsules with tunable shell thickness by utilizing a designed bifunctional peptide. Furthermore, facile encapsulation of an active molecule and its sustained release are demonstrated.

Plugged hexagonal templated silica: a unique micro- and mesoporous composite material with internal silica nanocapsules.
We describe in this paper the development of plugged hexagonal templated silicas (PHTS) which are hexagonally ordered materials, with internal microporous silica nanocapsules; they have a combined micro- and mesoporosity and a tuneable amount of both open and encapsulated mesopores and are much more stable than other tested micellar templated structures.
متن کاملBio-inspired silicification on patterned surfaces generated by microcontact printing and layer-by-layer self-assembly.
Micropatterns of silica were generated under biocompatible conditions by a combination of microcontact printing (muCP), layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly, and biomimetic silicification. Quaternary amine-containing poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) induced polycondensation of silicic acid, resulting in spatioselective formation of silica micropatterns. Scale bar: 10 microm.
متن کاملPeptide-catalyzed, bioinspired silicification for single-cell encapsulation in the imidazole-buffered system.
Inspired by biosilicification of glass sponges, we designed a catalytic peptide, which formed silica structures in the imidazole-buffered solution. The peptide was adsorbed selectively onto the surface of yeast cells, and the bioinspired silicification led to the formation of a cytoprotective silica shell on individual yeast cells.

The programmed self-assembly of block copolymers into higher order nanoscale structures offers many attractive attributes for the development of new nanomaterials for numerous applications including drug delivery and biosensing. The incorporation of biomimetic silaffin peptides in these block copolymers enables the formation of hybrid organic-inorganic materials, which can potentially enhance t...
متن کاملFacile synthesis of hybrid silica nanocapsules by interfacial templating condensation and their application in fluorescence imaging.
A stable aqueous dispersion of hybrid silica nanocapsules encapsulating fluorescent conjugated polymers have been successfully synthesized via a facile and highly benign approach of templated condensation of silica precursors at the core-corona interface of PEO-based block copolymer micelles.
