Porous nanoparticles are very attractive as a carrier for next generation drug delivery. To reliably deliver the proper amount of a drug with to the diseased part, the size and porosity of the nanoparticles should be controlled precisely. The atomized heating method is one of the promising techniques for producing porous nanoparticles. To date, with the technique, porous nanoparticles made of various metal oxides, such as alumina, silica, and titania, have been made from these nano powders with the diameter of 10nm. The purpose of this study is to precisely control the particle shape and size, pore size, and porosity of porous silica nanoparticles fabricated using the atomized heating method. The produced silica nanoparticles are subjected to strength test in a scanning electron microscope.
