Abstract
⺠Porous silicon (pSi) has significant potential as a drug delivery vehicle. ⺠The hydride terminated surface can be passivated via oxidation and hydrosilylation. ⺠Surface modification can be used to tailor drug-pSi interactions. ⺠By controlling drug crystallinity within pSi pores, drug dissolution is enhanced. ⺠Techniques such as XPS and ToF-SIMS provide insight into modification and loading.
