Optimization of Synthesis Parameters for Mesoporous Shell Formation on Magnetic Nanocores and Their Application as Nanocarriers for Docetaxel Cancer Drug

In this work, Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles were coated with mesoporous silica shell by S−N+I− pathway by using anionic surfactant (S−) and co-structure directing agent (N+). The role of co-structure directing agent (CSDA) is to assist the electrostatic interaction between negatively charged silica layer...
