Research Abstract |
Selective removal of middle molecule uremic toxins is difficult in a current hemodialysis membrane. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are promising as superior adsorbent for specific middle molecule with highly selectivity. Expansion of mesopore (over 6nm, the size is well suited to absorbing middle molecule) in MSNs was achieved by adding 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene and incorporating aminopropyl group in silica structure, and the silica surface of MSNs was coated by carbon thin layer (under 1nm) to improve blood compatibility and durability.
