Abstract
We present, a facile method for the synthesis of block co-polymer (BCP) of [(PLA)-b-(Car)], (PLA-Poly Lactic acid and Car-Carbazole). BCP results in the design and development of cone and ice-cream cup-shaped frustums with nanoscale porosity for bio-sensing and drug delivery applications. [(PLA)-b-(Car)] was conjugated through condensation polymerization between amine proton and hydroxyl groups of PLA and Car. Thermoplastic PLA is responsible for desired size, shape, and porosity over the surface. The size, shape, and morphology of the [(PLA)-b-(Car)] are tunable based on suitable solvents and thermal treatment. Interestingly, design of nanoporous hollow (half-broken coconut type) capsules has been carried out without using any precursors and surfactants. Synthesis of [(PLA)-b-(Car)] has been confirmed through the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). However, the morphology and surface properties of capsules were confirmed through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Bruner Emmett Teller (BET), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) characterizations. The capsule size ranges from ~ 200 nm to 1 μm (in diameter) and porosity scales from ~ 60 to 80 nm. The hollow and porous surface of the capsules with biosensing and drug delivery applications can be considered as a unique and novel characteristic property of our invention. This kind of novel cone and ice cream cup-shaped hollow frustums can be used as a stimuli-responsive catalytic activity through the fluorescence measurement of cysteine and gold nanoparticle [(Cys)-(Au+)] for enhanced payload and biomedical applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Porous Materials is an interdisciplinary and international periodical devoted to all types of porous materials. Its aim is the rapid publication
of high quality, peer-reviewed papers focused on the synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation of all porous materials. The objective is to
establish a unique journal that will serve as a principal means of communication for the growing interdisciplinary field of porous materials.
Porous materials include microporous materials with 50 nm pores.
Examples of microporous materials are natural and synthetic molecular sieves, cationic and anionic clays, pillared clays, tobermorites, pillared Zr and Ti
phosphates, spherosilicates, carbons, porous polymers, xerogels, etc. Mesoporous materials include synthetic molecular sieves, xerogels, aerogels, glasses, glass
ceramics, porous polymers, etc.; while macroporous materials include ceramics, glass ceramics, porous polymers, aerogels, cement, etc. The porous materials
can be crystalline, semicrystalline or noncrystalline, or combinations thereof. They can also be either organic, inorganic, or their composites. The overall
objective of the journal is the establishment of one main forum covering the basic and applied aspects of all porous materials.
