“…1). In Muslim-majority countries, such as Iran, for example, women make up more than 60% of students studying for physics undergraduate and master's degrees and 47% of Ph.D.s [7]. But until now, the possible roots of the higher prevalence of women scientists in these countries were poorly understood.…”

“…The treatment of inorganic materials with organic silane coupling agents is an attractive strategy used to enhance some properties like drug encapsulation efficiency, stability of immobilized enzymes, adsorption capacity, catalytic activity, physical and chemical properties. These modified materials can be used in many fields such as: wastewater purification, catalysis, encapsulation of various therapeutic agents and enzyme immobilization [7][8][9][10][11][12]. For example, modified MSN with APTES exhibited a high drug encapsulation efficiency, controlled drug delivery profile and an enhanced uptake ability for cancer cells [16].…”

The goal of this paper was to study the modification of porous clay heterostructures (PCHs) with various silane coupling agents. Two commercial coupling agents (3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) and 3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (GPTMS)) with different functional groups (amine and epoxy groups) were used as modifying agents for the PCHs functionalization. The functionalization of PCH with APTES and GPTMS was evaluated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffractions (XRD) and BET Analysis. FTIR spectra of modified PCHs confirmed the presence of characteristic peaks of silane coupling agents. TGA results highlighted an increase of weight loss for the modified PCHs that was assigned to the degradation of silane coupling agents (APTES and GPTMS) attached to the PCHs. The XRD results showed that the structure of modified PCHs was influenced by the type of the silane coupling agent. The functionalization of PCHs with silane coupling agents was also confirmed by BET analysis. Textural parameters (specific surface area (SBET), total pore volume (Vt )) suggested that the modified PCHs exhibit lower values of SBET and a significant decrease of total pore volume than unmodified PCHs.

“…13,15,16 MSNs have been investigated particularly as promising drug delivery platforms due to some of their outstanding virtues, such as large surface area, tunable pore size distributions, and the fact that it can be modied by different functional groups. 17,18 Therefore, mesoporous silica nanospheres are widely used in drug transportation. 19,20 This paper describes how we designed and synthesized a 3Ddendritic mesoporous silica-based drug delivery system.…”

The drug 5-HMF (5-hydroxymethylfurfural, C 6 H 6 O 3 ) is extensively studied for its antioxidative and antiinflammatory properties. However, its unstable properties and biotoxicity restrict its use in skin care products and therapy. The present study was aimed at evaluating the potential of three-dimensional dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres (3D-dendritic MSNs) as a topical carrier system for 5-HMF delivery. The encapsulation of the carrier also enhances the stability of the drug. Based on the results of Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, drug delivery systems were successfully fabricated and the loading capacity (LC%) and entrapment efficiency (EE%) were also assessed. In vitro cell tests revealed the outstanding biocompatibility and inoxidizability of 3D-dendritic MSNs. There is no effect on the antioxidant properties of the drug. Therefore, mesoporous silica can be combined with 5-HMF and used as potential antioxidant medicine in cosmetic applications. Fig. 12 The multiplication of 5-HMF (a) and 5-HMF@MSNs (b).
