Abstract
An enormous development is experimented on the porous materials. The porous was considered a defect on solid materials some years ago, but right now, this defect is an advantage, based on the properties obtained from a micro and mesoporous materials. Microporous, mesoporous and macroporous materials with an uniformed pore distribution offer new properties, such as absorption, adsorption, exchange separation, and catalysis of different compounds, also they can play different roles as hosts for a nanocomposite materials to modify or improve their properties. Today, the structural types of open framework porous compounds have rapidly increased by their unique structural properties, porous size window and accessible void space are critical factors on a medical application.
Highlights
Immense research during the last decade has been devoted to adjust the morphology of solids at various length scales from the nanometer to the micrometer scale [1]
Porous materials are classified by the pore size; the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) classify the porous materials in: How to cite this paper: Solano-Umaña, V. and Vega-Baudrit, J.R. (2015) Micro, Meso and Macro Porous Materials on Medicine
The porous materials could be made with the use of organic compounds that could act as templates or pore-forming agents, through a versatile non-surfactant route in which non-surfactant organic compounds such as D-glucose, D-maltose, dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid, ascorbic acid, etc., were used and removed by solvent extraction [5]
Summary
Immense research during the last decade has been devoted to adjust the morphology (the size and shape) of solids at various length scales from the nanometer to the micrometer scale [1]. The porous materials could be made with the use of organic compounds that could act as templates or pore-forming agents, through a versatile non-surfactant route (sol-gel process) in which non-surfactant organic compounds such as D-glucose, D-maltose, dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid, ascorbic acid, etc., were used and removed by solvent extraction [5]. Another way is to use surfactants; these are widely used structure-directing agents that can control the growth of inorganic polymers into various sizes and shapes at the mesoscale (that is, the scale between atoms and macroscopic objects). The application of porous materials is of great interest in various fields of medicine like: o Implants; o Drug delivery; o Sensors; o Membranes; o Filters; o Catheters; o Valves; o Prosthesis; o Scaffolds; o etc
