Polydopamine-doped mesoporous silica nanocomposites (PMSNs) were controllably synthesized by a one-pot approach. They were demonstrated to be good biodegradability, pH-responsive drug release and targeting synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy.
We present a comprehensive approach to characterize the one-pot synthesis, macropore space morphology, and chromatographic performance of phenyl-modified macro–mesoporous silica monoliths.
