Mesoporous silica has emerged as promising materials for several applications due to its uniform pore structure and large surface area. It finds wide usage in fields such as drug delivery, molecular separation, catalysis and energy storage. Mesoporous silica possesses tuneable pore sizes ranging from 2-50 nm and pore volumes upto 1 cm3/g thus leading to high loading capacities. Its surface can be functionalized with organic groups to alter properties. Rise in research activities exploring novel applications has spurred demand for these materials over the years. Mesoporous silica is a nanotechnological advancement that is comprised of a honeycomb-like structure of silica, with a large number of empty channels (mesoporous) that entrap bioactive molecules. It has exceptional physical stability and biomedical applications, which facilitate its use in drug loading and drug delivery.
