Abstract
- Green-emitting phosphorus-functionalized mesoporous silica (PMPS) nanospheres were fabricated by modifying their surfaces with (8-hydroxyquinoline) zinc (Znq2). A simulated body fluid soaking test and subsequent gas-adsorption measurements revealed that Znq2-modification could dramatically suppress the biodegradation of the nanospheres. This study establishes Znq2 as a novel and potential surface modifier of mesoporous silicas and demonstrates that effective surface design of the hosts will allow the exploitation of potential functionalities of the modifier.
