Here we report a facile one-pot synthetic method for organically modified silica (ORMOSIL) particles having multiple functional groups and demonstrate the homogeneous distribution of functional groups in ORMOSIL particles by chemical reactions of each surface functional group with fluorescent dyes such as fluroescamine and rhodamine B isothiocyanate. Dye-tagged ORMOSIL particles having tri-functional groups are exhibited two fluorescent emission peaks at 475 (blue) and 570 nm (red), indicating the positions of functional groups. The surface reaction of these functionalized ORMOSIL particles with various organic or inorganic materials not only endowed additional functionalities and physical properties, but also produced metallic hybrid composite particles. Chemical and physical properties of functionalized ORMOSIL particles were characterized by FT-IR, solid state (13)C and (29)Si NMR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis.

Medical research reveals that keeping the skin surface dry can effectively prevent a variety of fungal skin diseases. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a light, thin, comfortable and breathable functional garment fabric with efficient one-way water transmission for people's requirements. Here, we successfully prepared a three-layer stacking sandwich coating to construct a Janus nonwoven material with efficient unidirectional water transport function, PDMS-ormosil-PDMS@nonwoven fabric (PDMS-ormosil-PDMS@NF).

Optical microscopy showed that higher amounts of methyltriethoxysilane make the solid material structure softer. In addition, formation of structures, probably, with bacterial cells inside was spotted.

Organically modified silica (ORMOSIL) nanoparticles have found many biomedical applications and emerged as biocompatible and efficient carriers of diagnostic and therapeutic agents, such as fluorophores, drugs, and DNA. Herein, we describe two major in vivo studies exemplifying the use of these nanoparticles as carriers of active agents. The first part of this report details a systemic administration and biodistribution of radiolabeled and fluorophore-incorporated ORMOSIL nanoparticles in mice.

Objective: The study was designed to investigate the therapeutic potential of lactobionic acid (LA) conjugated quercetin (Q) loaded organically modified silica nanoparticles (LA-Q-ORMOSIL) with bulk quercetin to mitigate cyclophosphamide (CP) induced liver injury.
Methodology: Q-ORMOSIL nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, TEM, Zeta sizer, FTIR and EDX. Further, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release kinetic study was done.
