A nanocomposite (SBA-CIL-CS) which was combined mesoporous silica SBA-15 material with chitosan via ionic liquid as the bridging agent was successfully fabricated. The morphology and structure of the nanocomposite were characterized in detail with transmission electron microscope, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and nitrogen adsorption-desorption techniques. SBA-CIL-CS was investigated as an efficient support for immobilization of porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) and possessed high immobilization efficiency. The properties of immobilized enzyme (SBA-CIL-CS-PPL) such as activity, stability and reusability have been significantly improved, and a preferable pH and temperature tolerance were obtained as well. Results demonstrated the inorganic-organic nanocomposite could be used as an ideal support for enzyme immobilization.

Mesoporous materials with high surface area, large pore volume, and adjustable pore size are promising in the fields of adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis. In this work, ordered mesoporous ceria structures were successfully prepared via nanocasting using SBA-15 as a template, with Ce(NO)·6HO or CeCl·7HO as ceria precursors. The materials were characterized before and after template removal.

We have investigated the thermodynamic property modification of ammonia borane via nanoconfinement. Two different mesoporous silica scaffolds, SBA-15 and MCM-41, were used to confine ammonia borane. Using in situ Raman spectroscopy, we examined how pore size influences the phase transition temperature from tetragonal () to orthorhombic () for ammonia borane.

The use of supported rhodium nanoparticles (RhNPs) is gaining attention due to the drive for better catalyst performance and sustainability. Silica-based supports are promising for RhNP immobilization because of their thermal and chemical stability. Functionalizing silica allows for the design of catalysts with improved activity for biomass transformations.

The global impact of the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) pandemic in 2019-2020 has led to significant changes in worldwide vaccination and immune prophylactic approaches. In this study, our research delves into a new immunization strategy that does not involve the use of additional adjuvants or preservatives, focusing on the effects of virus fusion with a bacterial nanostructure. The experimental procedures outlined in this paper involved the cultivation of SARS-CoV-2, the production, extraction, and nanocharacterization of outer membrane vesicles (OMV) from Neisseria meningitidis, immunization of mice with two doses of OMV combined with SARS-CoV-2, and the use of mesoporous silica SBa15 and SBa16 adsorbed to the same virus.

Transport systems are developed to improve the solubility of the transported drug, increase its stability, enhance its pharmacological activity and target cancer while minimising side effects. In this work, nanoporous silica particles that can be functionalized and loaded with a large number of hydrophobic molecules are proposed. The designed system was modified with folic acid to target the folic acid receptors of cancer cells.
