Hybridization produces the better: Colloidal hollow periodic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HPMO NPs) with tunable compositions and highly hybridized nanostructures are successfully synthesized by a simple, easily scale-up but versatile silica-etching chemistry (alkaline or HF etching) for their applications in nano-fabrication and nano-medicine.

Understanding the surface properties of glass during the hydrogen fluoride (HF)-based vapor etching process is essential to optimize treatment processes in semiconductor and glass industries. In this work, we investigate an etching process of fused glassy silica by HF gas with kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. Detailed pathways of surface reactions between gas molecules and the silica surface with activation energy sets are explicitly implemented in the KMC algorithm for both dry and humid conditions.

Polydopamine (PDA), with similar chemical and physical properties to eumelanin, is a typical artificial melanin material. With various functional groups, good biocompatibility, and photothermal conversion ability, PDA attracts great interest and is extensively studied. Endowing PDA with a porous structure would increase its specific surface area, therefore would significantly improve its performance in different application fields.

Selective laser etching (SLE) is a technique that allows the fabrication of arbitrarily shaped glass micro-objects. In this work, we show how the capabilities of this technology can be improved in terms of selectivity and etch rate by applying an etchant solution based on a Potassium Hydroxide, water, and isopropanol mixture. By varying the concentrations of these constituents, the wetting properties, as well as the chemical reaction of fused silica etching, can be changed, allowing us to achieve etching rates in modified fused silica up to 820 μm/h and selectivity up to ∼3000.

Multifunctional drug delivery systems were designed and engineered by template synthesis of a microporous organic polymer (MOP) and by postsynthetic modification. Hollow MOP spheres bearing FeO yolks (FeO@Void@MOP) were prepared by the synthesis of MOP on FeO@SiO nanoparticles and by successive silica etching. In addition to the magneto-thermal function of FeO yolks, an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature was incorporated into the FeO@Void@MOP through a homocoupling of tetra(4-ethynylphenyl)ethylene to form FeO@Void@MOP-TE.
