Monodisperse Mesoporous Silica Nanosphere Stellate MSN
Product Detail
ACS Material Stellate MSN (monodisperse mesoporous silica nanospheres) is a white powder with an average particle size of 80 nm, conical pores of 2.9 nm and a total pore volume of ~1.4 mL/g. It is prepared by the soft chemistry method.
Overview
Stellate MSNs are a unique form of silica nanospheres created using surfactant template synthesis. Tetraethyl orthosilicate and a template made of micellar rods react to create nanospheres filled with pores arranged in a regular and predictable pattern; the organic template is then removed from the nanospheres via calcination. The resulting mesoporous silica nanoparticles are studied for medical, thermal energy storage and imaging applications, and MSNs are especially promising as carriers for the cellular transport and delivery of macromolecules.
