As infection induced by the implant will lead to operation failure, the implant material must be endowed with certain antibacterial properties. Hydroxyapatite (HA) mesoporous microspheres have been widely used in bone repair due to their advantages, including simple synthesis, good osteogenic properties and drug loading capacity. In this study, vancomycin hydrochloride-loaded mesoporous hydroxyapatite microspheres with micro/nanosurface structures were synthesized to increase osteogenic differentiation and antibacterial ability. Phytic acid (IP6) was used as a template to prepare mesoporous hydroxyapatite microspheres composed of fibres, flakes and smooth surfaces by the hydrothermal homogeneous precipitation method, and the corresponding specific surface areas were 65.20 m2/g, 75.13 m2/g and 71.27 m2/g, respectively. Vancomycin hydrochloride (Van) was used as the drug model to study the drug loading and release characteristics of the microspheres, as well as the in vitro antibacterial properties after treatment. In addition, during cocultivation with MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts, HA microspheres assembled via flakes exhibited better cell compatibility, which promoted cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and the formation of calcium nodules and increased the expression of osteogenic differentiation-related proteins such as Runx-2, osteopontin (OPN) and collagen I (COL I). These results indicated that the HA microspheres prepared in this experiment have broad application prospects in drug delivery systems and bone repair.

Super-hydrophobic phenomena generally exist in nature, and wood can also obtain hydrophobicity by specific processing on the surface, being like the construction of microscale rough surface or decoration with low surface energy materials. In this research, the formation of hydrophobic layers on wood surface was investigated without breaking the wood’s original structure. The core-shell structure particles were prepared by penetrating orthosilicate and polystyrene into the hollow mesoporous microsphere structure with tetrahydrofuran. A wood sample was coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) resin layer to enhance the adhesion of nano and micron hollow mesoporous microsphere on its surface. According to the surface structure of super-hydrophobic subjects in nature, the nano and micron hollow mesoporous microsphere were sprayed with different ratios several times to form a hydrophobic surface. The water contact angle could reach 150°, revealing that the hydrophobic behavior of the nano and micron hollow mesoporous microsphere coating was achieved. The microstructures of wood samples were examined by the scanning electron microscopy, and the chemical functional groups were investigated by the Fourier transform infrared; both verified that the hydrophobic surface was successfully coated. The thermogravimetric examination revealed the improved thermal stability of the hydrophobic wood. The scratch test was used to measure the abrasion resistance of the nano and micron hollow mesoporous microsphere coatings on wood surface. It was suggested that the nano and micron hollow mesoporous microsphere coating was an effective method to fabricate extremely hydrophobic wood products.

Diatomite (DE) has attracted considerable attention owing to its abundance, low cost, and potential for a wide variety of applications. This work reports the development of mesoporous wool-ball-like (WBL) microspheres from natural DE through a simple hydrothermal treatment. We discovered that the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is a prerequisite for generating monodispersed WBL microspheres. The mechanism for the transformation of pristine DE into mesoporous microspheres through dissolution–recrystallization was clearly investigated. Interestingly, the microspheres exhibited a specific surface area 25–60 times larger than that of the pristine DE. The application of WBL microsphere DE as an effective support for metallic catalysts in the toluene total oxidation reaction was demonstrated.
