Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Modified inside and out for ON:OFF pH-Modulated Cargo Release

Highly efficient pH-modulated cargo release was achieved with a new hybrid nanocarrier composed of a mesoporous silica core with functionalized pores and a grafted pH-responsive crosslinked polymer shell of 2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate (pKa ≈ 6.5). The retention/release performance of the...
