Abstract: | Iron oxide nanoparticles have been extensively studied for a wide variety of applications. However, there remains a challenge in developing hierarchical magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as existing synthetic techniques require harsh, toxic chemical conditions and high temperatures or give poorly defined product with weak magnetic properties. In addition, drug loading is limited to post-loading methods such as chemical conjugation or surface adsorption that have poor loading efficiency and are prone to premature drug release. We report a facile biomimetic method for making iron oxide nanoparticle-loaded silica nanocapsules based on a bimodal catalytic peptide surfactant stabilized nanoemulsion template. Iron oxide nanoparticles can be preloaded into the oil phase of the nanoemulsion at tunable concentrations, and the excellent surface activity of the designed bimodal peptide in combination with sufficient electrostatic repulsion promotes the stability of the nanoemulsions. Biosilicification induced by the catalytic peptide module leads to the formation of silica shell nanocapsules containing a magnetic oil core. The bioinspired silica nanocapsules encapsulating iron oxide nanoparticles demonstrate the next-generation of magnetic nanostructures for drug delivery applications. |
