Herein, thioether-bridged PMO nanospheres with a diameter of 61 nm are synthesized. Then, the thioether-bridged PMO nanospheres are modified with different molecular weighted polyethylene glycol(PEG) via click reaction for the first time. FI-IR and thermogravimetric analysis confirm the successful modification of PEG on the PMO. The influence of PEG molecular weight on the dispersity and stability of the PMO-PEG in phosphate buffer(PBS) and Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium(DMEM) is studied. The results show that the PEG coating increases the stability and dispersity of PMO in the biological solutions. The PMO-PEG1K, PMO-PEG2K, and PMOPEG5K have better stability in PBS solution. The PMO-PEG2K shows best stability and dispersity in DMEM. Over all, this work provides important method and knowledge to guide the modification of PMO for biomedical展开更多

The hierarchical macroporous–mesoporous silica films are synthesized by using zinc oxide nanorod array as macroporous template and CTAB surfactant as mesoporous template. In basic surfactant-containing solution, ordered mesoporous silica shells homogeneously grow on the zinc oxide nanorod array. The growth of the mesostructures do not require any chemical modification for the zinc oxide nanorod, which opens a new way for preparing hierarchical silica films with perpendicular mesochannels. The prepared hierarchical macroporous–mesoporous silica films possess a uniform thickness of 2μm, large perpendicular macropores with a length of 1.8μm and a width of 80 nm, and accessible ordered mesopores. Separation experiment demonstrates that this macroporous–mesoporous film can effectively separate biomolecules with different sizes.展开更多
