Abstract
Mesoporous silica has attracted increasing interest due to the pandemic spreading of the viral infection in recent years. These smart materials have many advantages as high loading capacity, high surface area, and unique morphology making them great materials for smart drug carriers. In this review, I summarized the synthesis of Ultra-Porous Drug Nano-Carriers in recent years. Factors affecting (mesoporous nanoparticles) MSN Synthesis as surfactants, Co-surfactants, and solvents were mentioned in the full description and targeting approaches. Types of silica nanoparticles such as Mesoporous SBA-1 silicas, Mesoporous SBA-2 silicas, and hybrid mesoporous materials are also shown in a detailed manner. Future research efforts are also highlighted for AI-based techniques aimed at more accurate tissue engineering prediction and operation optimization in drug carrier-based processes.
