Their mesostructural stability under different carbon content, aging time and acidity were conveniently monitored by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and N2 sorption isotherms techniques. The results show mesostruetural stability of OMCs is enhanced as the carbon content increases from 36% to 46%, further increasing carbon content deteriorates the mesostructural stability. Increasing aging time from 0.5 h to 5.0 h make the mesostructural stability go through an optimum (2.0 h) and gradually reduce framework shrinkage of the OMCs. Highly OMCs can only be obtained in the acidity range of 0.2-1.2 mol/L HC1, when the acidity is near the isoelectrie point of silica, the resulting OMCs have the best mesostructure stability. Under the optimum condition, the carbon content of 46%, aging time of 2.0 h, and 0.2 mol/L HCl, the resulting OMCs have the best mesostrueture stability and the highest BET surface areas of 2281 m2/g.展开更多

The block copolymers self-assembled micelles with polyphenylalanine segments as core and dendritic poly(glutamic acid) segments as shell. The biocompatibility of the micelles was studied. The release of the anticancer drug doxorubicin from the micelles was investigated in vitro. The results showed that the sustaining release of the drug could last for 60 h. The micellar drug release system was efficient in inhibiting the proliferation of HepG2 liver cancer cells, 75% cancer cells were killed under appropriate in vitro incubation.展开更多
