  • Publication number: 20140159025
    Abstract: The mesoporous silica particles of the present invention each include an inner portion having first mesopores and an outer peripheral portion covering the inner portion. The outer peripheral portion includes an organosilica coating portion made of organosilica. The organosilica includes a bridged-type organosilica in which two silicon atoms in a silica framework are bridged by an organic group.

  • Publication number: 20130267629
    Abstract: The mesoporous silica particles each comprise a core particle comprising first mesopores, wherein a periphery of the core particle is covered with silica. Preferably, second mesopores, smaller than the first mesopores, are provided in the silica-covered part formed by the silica covering. The mesoporous silica particles are produced by: a surfactant complex silica particle preparation step of mixing a surfactant, water, an alkali, a hydrophobic part-containing additive and a silica source to thereby prepare surfactant complex silica particles, said hydrophobic part-containing additive including a hydrophobic part for increasing a volume of micelles to be formed by the surfactant; and a silica covering step of adding the silica source to the surfactant complex silica particles to thereby cover a periphery of each core particle with silica.
