摘要
A series of functional mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs) was synthesized by a one-step simple synthesis approach involving co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) and salicylaldimine ligand(Sal-Si) in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride(CTAC) under basic conditions.The target MSNs with different sizes (50,100 and 200 nm,respectively) were obtained.Furthermore,the Ca^2+ cations were also introduced into MSNs.The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by means of infrared(IR) spectra,thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),inductively coupled plasma(ICP),CHN elemental analysis,nitrogen adsorption-desorption,scanning electron microscope(SEM) and transmission electron microscope(TEM).Ibuprofen(IBU) which contains carboxyl groups was selected as a model drug.The results of drug loading and release reveal that the loading capacities and release behaviors of the model drug are highly dependent on the Ca^2+ cations in MSNs.The release of IBU from the MSNs functionalized by Ca^2+ cations is found to be effectively controlled when compared to the release from the MSNs without the functionalization of Ca^2+ cations,which is due to the ionic interaction between carboxyl groups in IBU and Ca^2+ cations in MSNs.
