Elastic porous organosilica monoliths (POMs) are successfully prepared by water in oil (w/o) high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) with a novel silica precursor named polyethoxysiloxane (PEOS) as sole stabilizer. The stability of the HIPEs and the mechanical strength of the POMs are investigated as functions of PEOS and crosslinker contents in the oil phase. FESEM reveals that PEOS molecules play a significant role of in-situ growth into silica particles to strengthen the POMs, which enables the successful preparation of elastic POMs. Furthermore, oil-water separation behavior of the POMs is studied. Both the absorbent capacity and speed are considerably superior to the previously reported PDMS sponges.

Targeting is the most challenging problem to solve for drug delivery systems. Despite the use of targeting units such as antibodies, peptides and proteins to increase their penetration in tumors the amount of therapeutics that reach the target is very small, even with the use of nanoparticles (NPs). Nature has solved the selectivity problem using a combination of proteins and lipids that are exposed on the cell membranes and are able to recognize specific tissues as demonstrated by cancer metastasis.

Background: Periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) are a new class of organic-inorganic hybrid materials with high surface area, narrow pore size distribution, high functional group loading, and tunable functional groups. In contrast to other porous organosilicate materials, PMOs show a uniform distribution of organic groups inside their framework walls. They are synthesized by condensing bis-silylated organic precursors around a surfactant template.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating environmentally friendly mesoporous silica supports for palladium catalysts using bio-based surfactants, specifically a combination of cashew nut shell liquid and castor oil.
- It involved the co-condensation of specific silane compounds to form porous materials, with varying ratios of the surfactants influencing pore structure and surface area.
- Characterization techniques confirmed successful synthesis and effective palladium loading, with the most efficient ratios yielding notable improvements in catalyst properties.

Photoimmunotherapy represents an innovative approach to enhancing the efficiency of immunotherapy in cancer treatment. This approach involves the fusion of immunotherapy and phototherapy (encompassing techniques like photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT)). Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) has the potential to trigger immunotherapy owing to its excellent PD and PT efficiency.
