A one-pot solvothermal synthetic method to prepare uniform CuO colloidal nanocrystal clusters (CNCs) with sizes of approximately 60 nm was developed. To enhance their stabilities, the CuO CNCs were coated with mesoporous SiO2 shells to form CuO CNCs@meso-SiO2 nanocomposites. The CuO CNCs as well as the CuO CNCs@meso-S…
After the discovery of fullerene and carbon nanotubes, various carbon nanomaterials were discovered or synthesized. The carbon nanomaterials have remarkable properties, different from bulk materials with the same chemical composition, and are therefore useful for industrial applications. However, the toxicity of nanom…
A significant obstacle in the development of YAG:Ce nanoparticles as light converters in white LEDs and as biological labels is associated with the difficulty of finding preparative conditions that allow simultaneous control of structure, particle size and size distribution, while maintaining the optical properties of…
Spirobenzopyrans, which are well known as photochromic compounds, exist as thermodynamically stable protonated ring-opened isomers (protonated merocyanine form, McH) in an acidic aqueous solution in the dark. In the present study, we investigated effects of substitution of the spirobenzopyrans on a ring-opening behavi…
Nanoemulsion-templated long sustained polyelectrolyte (PE) nanocapsules (average size < 200 nm) loaded with Oil Red O and two cyanine-type photosensitizers: IR-786 and IR-780 were successfully fabricated by using the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique. All nanoproducts were subjected to in vitro release characteristics an…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were functionalized by polymer wrapping (CNT–PSS) and oxidation (CNT–COOH), followed by reduction of copper ions in hydrogen atmosphere, producing copper decorated carbon nanotubes (CNT–f@Cu). Thus synthesized hybrid nanostructures were used as conductive fillers to tailor the heat transport ca…
Nanopore and nanotube structures such as anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) and nanotubular titania (TNT) prepared by self-ordering electrochemical anodization have attracted considerable attention for the development of new implant devices and drug delivery applications. In this work, we present a new implantable drug deli…
Unaggregated La0.82Sr0.18MnO3 + δ perovskite nanoparticles with a mean crystallite size of 22 nm were successfully synthesized through an aqueous combustion process (Glycine Nitrate Process, GNP) which takes advantage of exothermic, fast and self-sustaining chemical reactions between metal nitrates and glycine as a su…
Mn3O4 hollow-tetrakaidecahedron micro/nano structures are synthesized basing on a structure-shrinkage-assisted Kirkendall effect under the hydrothermal condition. The Mn powders are transformed into Mn(OH)2 micro tetrakaidecahedron and substantially oxidized to Mn3O4 during the filtration under the flow of oxygen. The…
The present work reports a novel anticorrosive low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) that can self-assemble in normal ILs (II) through collective intermolecular interactions (ion pairing, H-bonding, π–π stacking). The LMWG is structurally imidazolium type “ionic liquid” bearing benzotriazole group. It can gelate ILs via…
The wetting of solid surfaces by fluids has been studied for more than two centuries. However, it was only in recent years that investigations of the first milliseconds of spontaneous drop spreading on solid surfaces started. For non-deformable surfaces, this fast dynamic wetting process is known to be dominated by in…
The synergistic combination of layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly and nanoporous membrane templating has greatly facilitated the creation of complex and functional nanotubular structures. The approach takes advantage of both the new properties conferred by assembling diverse LbL building blocks and the tight dimensional co…
Weak polyelectrolyte brushes exhibit pH-responsive swelling behaviour, tuneable surface energy, and some promise as “smart” responsive coatings. In this paper, we demonstrate the growth of two weak polybase brushes by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerisation (SI-ATRP) using electrostatically adsorbed pol…
The assembly of intermediate filaments (IFs) is a complex process that can be recapitulated through a series of distinct steps in vitro. The combination of microfluidics and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) provides a powerful tool to investigate the kinetics of this process on the relevant timescales. Microfluidic…
The nature of a School requires the lecture-notes to be available during the lectures.In this way the participant have the chance to work through the lectures thoroughly while they are given.We are very grateful that all lecturers provided their manuscripts in time for the production of this book.We foresee that the l…
Treatment of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) with aryl bromides in the presence of cesium carbonate and a palladium catalyst results in direct arylation of TTF. The direct arylation is inherently straightforward and efficient, hence easily creating a large library of aryl TTFs for systematic investigations of structure–prope…
Graphene oxide nanoribbons (GONRs) have been prepared by chemically unzipping multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Thin-film networks of GONRs were fabricated by spray-coating, followed by a chemical or thermal reduction to form reduced graphene oxide nanoribbons (rGONRs). Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron…
Electronic communication between the building blocks of nanocomposites is an important property that affects their functionality with regard to many optoelectronic and catalytic applications. Herein, we report a single-molecule, single-particle approach for elucidating the inherent photocatalytic activity of individua…
A systematic study of the effect of the zinc oxide (ZnO) electrodeposition parameters (concentration, temperature, potential and pH) on film morphology, thickness, transparency, roughness and crystallographic orientation is presented with the view of producing optimized thin, planar, and continuous ZnO films for photo…
The thermal degradation of some sulfonic cationites namely Amberlite IR-120, Indion-223 and In-dion-225 was investigated using instrumental techniques like thermal analysis (TG) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to characterize the resins degradation steps.…
