Abstract

Hollow microparticles are important materials, offering a larger surface area and lower density than their solid counterparts. Furthermore, their inner void space can be exploited for the encapsulation and release of guest species in a variety of applications. Herein, we present phosphazene-based silica hollow microparticles prepared via a surfactant-free sol-gel process through self-assembly of the alkoxysilyl-containing polymer in water-ethanol solution. Solely, a silane-derived polyphosphazene was used as the precursor for the microparticle formation, without additional classical silica sources. These novel hollow silica-based microparticles were prepared without surfactant, using a designed amphiphilic polyphosphazene for the particle formation made by two components, a hydrophilic unit consisting of 3-mercaptopropyl(trimethoxysilane), and a hydrophobic unit (dodecanethiol) attached to the double bonds from the poly(allylamine)phosphazene backbone via a thiol-ene photoreaction. Due to these two functionalities, a "vesicle"-like self-assembled structure was formed in the reaction medium, which could be then utilized for the microparticle preparation. The influence of NaOH during the synthesis was shown to affect the size and the wall thickness of the microparticles. This effect may enhance the possibilities to tailor such microparticles for drug delivery purposes or for future controlled release of other substances, such as drugs, fragrances, or anticorrosive pigments.

摘要

中空微粒是重要的材料,与实心微粒相比,它们具有更大的表面积和更低的密度。此外,它们的内部空隙可用于在各种应用中封装和释放客体物质。在此,我们展示了通过无表面活性剂的溶胶-凝胶法制备的磷腈基二氧化硅中空微粒,该方法是通过含烷氧基硅烷基的聚合物在水-乙醇溶液中自组装而成。仅使用硅烷衍生的聚磷腈作为微粒形成的前体,无需额外的传统二氧化硅源。这些新型的中空二氧化硅基微粒是在无表面活性剂的情况下制备的,使用一种设计的两亲性聚磷腈来形成微粒,该聚磷腈由两个组分构成,一个是由3-巯基丙基(三甲氧基硅烷)组成的亲水单元,另一个是通过硫醇-烯光反应连接到聚(烯丙胺)磷腈主链双键上的疏水单元(十二烷硫醇)。由于这两种功能,在反应介质中形成了一种“囊泡”状的自组装结构,然后可用于制备微粒。合成过程中氢氧化钠的影响表明其会影响微粒的尺寸和壁厚。这种效应可能会增加为药物递送目的或未来其他物质(如药物、香料或防腐颜料)的控释定制此类微粒的可能性。
