摘要:
In the present research, photo-responsive controlled-release hexaconazole (Hex) nanoparticles (Nps) were successfully prepared with azobenzene (Azo)-modified bimodal mesoporous silica (BMMs), in which beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) was capped onto the BMMs-Azo surface via host-guest interactions (Hex@BMMs/Azo/beta-CD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that the nanoparticles had a spherical structure, and their average diameter determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) was found to be 387.2 +/- 3.8 nm. X-ray powder-diffraction analysis and N-2-adsorption measurements indicated that Hex was loaded into the pores of the mesoporous structure, but the structure of the mesoporous composite was not destroyed. The loading capacity of Hex@BMMs/Azo/beta-CD nanoparticles for Hex was approximately 27.3%. Elemental components of the nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Ultraviolet-visible-light (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy tests showed that the azophenyl group in BMMs-Azo undergoes effective and reversible cis-trans isomerization under UV-Vis irradiation. Hex@BMMs/Azo/beta-CD Nps exhibited excellent light-sensitive controlled-release performance. The release of Hex was much higher under UV irradiation than that in the dark, which could be demonstrated by the bioactivity test. The nanoparticles also displayed excellent pH-responsive properties, and the sustained-release curves were described by the Ritger-Peppas release kinetic model. BMMs nanocarriers had good biological safety and provided a basis for the development of sustainable agriculture in the future.
