To reduce nonspecific interactions and circumvent biological barriers, low-fouling material of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is most used for the modification of drug nanocarriers. Herein, we report the fabrication of PEG capsules via the free-radical polymerization of linear PEG or 8-arm-PEG using an emulsion templating method for targeted drug delivery. Doxorubicin (DOX) could be loaded in capsules via electrostatic interactions. The obtained capsules composed of 8-arm-PEG result in a lower cell association (2.2%) compared to those composed of linear PEG (7.3%) and, therefore, demonstrate the stealth property. The functionalization of cyclic peptides containing Arg-Gly-Asp (cRGD) on PEG capsules induce high cell targeting to U87 MG cells. A cell cytotoxicity assay demonstrates the biocompatibility of PEG capsules and high drug delivery efficacy of the targeted capsules. The reported capsules with the stealth and targeting property provide a potential platform for improved drug delivery.

Ordered mesoporous Fe2O3 supported gold nanoparticles with a desired specific surface area and porous structure (Au/meso-Fe2O3) was successfully fabricated with a hard templating method by using KIT-6 as the template. The morphology and physico-chemical properties of Au/meso-Fe2O3 were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), etc. The gold nanoparticles are highly dispersed on the surface of the mesoporous Fe2O3. The catalytic performance of the synthesized catalyst was studied for the aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols in β–O–4 linked lignin model dimers to the corresponding carbonyl products under atmosphere pressure. Au/meso-Fe2O3 shows an enhanced activity for the aerobic oxidation of 1-phenylethanol in comparison with that of Au/bulk-Fe2O3. The promoted catalytic activity is related to the confined porous structure of mesoporous Fe2O3 and more boundaries contact between gold and meso-Fe2O3, which shows that the porous structure of the support has a significant influence on the activity of gold catalysts.

We present a direct soft templating method to synthesise mesoporous tin dioxide network that maintains a porous structure after calcination at 400 °C and 500 °C and has a relatively high BET surface area of 220 and 100 m2 g-1, respectively. TEM, BET and XRD results confirm that both crystal and pore sizes increase as a result of increasing the temperatures during the calcination step. This method is highly reproducible.
