A new procedure has been developed, which is based on homogeneous precipitation of organized mesoporous silica from an aqueous solution of sodium metasilicate and a nonionic poly(ethylene oxide) surfactant serving as a structure-directing agent. The decrease in pH, which induces the polycondensation of silica, is achieved by hydrolysis of ethyl acetate. Owing to the complexation of Na+ cations by poly(ethylene oxide) segments, assembling of the mesostructure appears to occur under electrostatic control by the S0Na+I- pathway, where S0 and I- are surfactant and inorganic species, respectively. As the complexation of Na+ cations causes extended conformation of poly(ethylene oxide) segments, the pore size and pore volume of organized mesoporous silica increase in comparison with materials prepared under neutral or acidic conditions. The assembling of particles can be fully separated from their solidification, which results in the formation of highly regular spherical particles of mesoporous silica.

Poly(2-vinyl pyridine)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (P2VP-b-PEO) linear diblock copolymer and polystyrene–poly(ethylene oxide) (PS10PEO10) heteroarm star copolymer were used as building elements to prepare organic–inorganic hybrids. By using the layer-by-layer (LbL) methodology, these elements were integrated on mesoporous silica through non-covalent interactions, namely, ionic and H-bonding. For the latter, tannic acid (TA) was used as an intermediate layer. The deposition of the various layers was monitored by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), electrophoretic measurements, and confocal microscopy. The final silica hybrid, bearing alternating P2VP-b-PEO and PS10PEO10 star layers was capable of carrying one hydrophilic and two hydrophobic chemical species in distinct compartments. These multicompartmental organic–inorganic hybrids could be used as nanostructured carriers for pH-responsive multiple drug delivery and potential theranostic applications.
