title: Generation of a mesoporous silica MSU shell onto solid core silica nanoparticles using a simple two-step sol-gel process.
abstract: Silica core-shell nanoparticles with a MSU shell have been synthesized using several non-ionic poly(ethylene oxide) based surfactants via a two step sol-gel method. The materials exhibit a typical worm-hole pore structure and tunable pore diameters between 2.4 nm and 5.8 nm.
