摘 要:Magnetic Fe3O4 and mesoporous silica core- shell nanospheres with tunable size from 110-800 nm were synthesized via a one step self-assembly method. The morphological, structural, textural, and magnetic proper- ties were well-characterized by scanning electron micro- scopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption and magnetometer. These nanocomposites, which possess high surface area, large pore volume and well-defined pore size, exhibit two dimensional hexagonal (P6mm) mesostructures. Interest- ingly, magnetic core and mesoporous silica shell nano- composites with large void pore (20 nm) on the shell were generated by increasing the ratio of ethanol/water. Additionally, the obtained nanocomposites combined magnetization response and large void pore, implying the possibility of applications in drug/gene targeting delivery. The cell internalization capacity of NH2-functionalized nanocomposites in the case of cancer cells (HeLa cells) was exemplified to demonstrate their nano-medicine application.
