A facile solvothermal approach was used to synthesize monodispersed ultrathin GdF3 nanowires via an oriented attachment mechanism. Gadolinium nitrate acted as the Gd source, n-octylamine and oleic acid as capping ligands, and n-octanol as solvent. The phase and morphology of the nanowires were characterized by powder…

We investigate the thermodynamics and percolation regimes of model binary mixtures of patchy colloidal particles. The particles of each species have three sites of two types, one of which promotes bonding of particles of the same species while the other promotes bonding of different species. We find up to four percola…

Chemical functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) increases their solubility, dispersion, and biological applications. Since there are only a few studies on the toxicity of functionalized MWCNTs, we investigated the cytotoxic and genotoxic‐oxidative effects of OH‐functionalized MWCNTs on human lung e…

Magnetic 8 nm Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and modified with dopamine (DPA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) diacid. The water soluble Fe(3)O(4)-DPA-PEG NPs were then conjugated with the fluorescent Eu(iii) complex of tris(dibenzoylmethane)-5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline (BMAP), giving an Fe(3)O(4)-DPA-PEG…
