Characterization and Comparison of Mesoporous Silica Particles for Optimized Drug Delivery

In this study we have investigated the suitability of a number of different mesoporous silica nanoparticle structures for carrying a drug cargo. We have fully characterized the nanoparticles in terms of their physical parameters; size, surface area, internal pore size and structure. These data are a...
