Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) have been widely used as drug carriers for stimuli-responsive drug delivery. Herein, a catalysis screening technique was adopted for analyzing the effects of chain length, terminal group, and density of disulfide-appended functional ligands on the surface of M...
