Synthesis and characterization of nano Ag/Pt and methyl violet co-doped sol–gel porous material

Experimental and first-principles investigation of the adsorption and entrapping of guanine with SiO2clusters of sol–gel silicate material for understanding DNA photodamage

“…3 Thus, pore-size tuning is one of the most significant factors that enable the generic sol-gel technology to achieve the entrapment of many types of biomolecules of diverse sizes for a wide range of applications. [19][20][21][22][23] Silica in healthcare are found as porous glass, which can be designed to encapsulate a specific drug, which can then be released in situ by the degradation of the silica matrix, therefore maximizing therapeutic effects with the reduction of toxicological side effects.

“…18 Silica matrices may also have significant advantages, for example, nanobimetal, trimetal and semiconducting oxides have been incorporated into the silicate matrix to enhance the photocatalytic process. [19][20][21][22][23] Silica in healthcare are found as porous glass, which can be designed to encapsulate a specific drug, which can then be released in situ by the degradation of the silica matrix, therefore maximizing therapeutic effects with the reduction of toxicological side effects. 24,25 Thus, mesoporous silica nanoparticles are attractive candidates due to their ability to confine genetic material into their porous space, high chemical resistance to microbial attack, low toxicity, thermal stability and ease of modification.…”
