FORMULATION
Silicon: Not just for chips anymore...
-
Luminescent quantum confined nanostructures
-
Porous Si (por-Si) resorbable
-
Pore size is tunable, and metal nanoparticles can either be left in or dissolved
-
Cu, Ag, Pt, Pd, Au can be used
-
Cu and Ag exhibit antimicrobial action
-
Rough surface enhances cell attachment
All of which makes it useful for applications in…

Copper creates pores in silicon
Drug replaces copper

-
Drug(s) loaded in pores
-
The coating covers the silicon
-
Coating dissolves
-
Silicon dissolves, releasing the drug
