The aim of this work was to study the influence of calcium carbonate nanoparticles in both tensile and impact mechanical properties of a polypropylene homopolymer. Four compositions of PP/CaCO3 nanocomposites were prepared in a co-rotational twin screw extruder machine with calcium carbonate content of 3, 5, 7 and 10…
The production of complex, yet well defined materials offers many opportunities in regenerative medicine, in which the mechanical and biological properties of the matrix must meet stringent requirements. Here we report the recombinant production of modular polypeptidic materials, based on the highly resilient protein…
In recent years, nanoparticles have played an ever increasing role in biomedical research and clinical applications. The unique physical properties of nanomaterials are being exploited in the field of nanomedicine for applications as diverse as drug delivery and targeting, MRI contrast enhancement, gene therapy, bioma…
Porous colloidal particles have recently attracted a renewed interest in both fundamental and applied research. The large internal surface area and adsorbent potential of porous particles have led to their widespread application in diverse fields, including sensing, catalysis, drug delivery, and separations. This revi…
Nanoparticles are now an indispensable material for science and technology such an in materials, medicals, and cosmetics areas. Controlling the dispersion stability of nanoparticles in various liquid media is an essential issue to control the properties of the final products. At the beginning of this review, we will i…
We present a straightforward technique for the synthesis of asymmetric colloidal molecules with uniform and well-controlled bond angles. The new method makes use of coalescence of liquid protrusions on polystyrene spheres. The bond angle between the seed particles and central sphere can be chosen as desired by adjusti…
Microscale topographical features have been known to affect cell behavior. An important target in this area is to integrate top down techniques with bottom up self-assembly to create three-dimensional (3D) patterned bioactive mimics of extracellular matrices. We report a novel approach toward this goal and demonstrate…
A new strategy was developed to prepare raspberry-like particles by introducing poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-functionalized polystyrene (PS) particles into hydrolysis reaction of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The monodisperse PAA-functionalized PS particles were used as cores and nanosized silica particles were then assembled…
This research evaluated the toxicity of TiO2 nanoparticles to freshwater aquatic organisms and the effects of organic and inorganic material on TiO2 toxicity. The fathead minnow was much less acutely sensitive to TiO2 (LC50 500 mg/l and higher) than Ceriodaphnia dubia and Daphnia pulex (mean LC50 values 7.6 and 9.2 mg…
In azobenzene-containing block copolymers (azo BCPs), the reversible trans–cisphotoisomerization of the chromophore can be coupled with the microphase separation-induced morphology. Recent studies revealed a number of new functions generated from the interaction of photoactivity and self-organized nanostructures in BC…
A super gelator (F3) with an excellent gelation ability was synthesized; the organogel of F3 could allow two channel recognition of F-, AcO- and H2PO4- through proton controlled reversible sol-gel transition and color changes.
An effective force coarse-graining (EF-CG) method is presented in this paper that complements the more general multiscale coarse-graining (MS-CG) methodology. The EF-CG method determines effective pairwise forces between coarse-grained sites by averaging over the atomistic forces between the corresponding atomic group…
Very stable and bright emitting amine-terminated Si nanoparticles (NPs) with different alkyl chain lengths between the Si core and amine end-group are synthesized. The obtained NPs have a spherical shape and homogeneous size distribution (1.57 ± 0.24 nm). Their emission can be tuned from the UV to the blue spectral re…
We report the preparation of Au-Pd nanocrystalline catalysts supported on TiO(2) and carbon prepared via a sol-immobilisation technique using three different preparation strategies; namely, simultaneous formation of the sols for both metals or initial formation of a seed sol of one of the metals followed by a separate…
The solubility of H 2 O-CO 2 fluids in a synthetic analogue of a phono-tephritic lava composition from Alban Hills (Central Italy) was experimentally determined from 50 to 500 MPa, at 1200 and 1250 °C. Contents of H 2 O and CO 2 in experimental glasses were determined by bulk-analytical methods and FTIR spectroscopy.…
Within the glass science community, it is common to describe the state of a glass in terms of a fictive temperature or a distribution of fictive temperatures. However, a number of different definitions of fictive temperature are being practiced in the field. Based on the previous literature, at least three definitions…
Ordered mesoporous carbon materials with magnetic frameworks have been synthesized via a “one-pot” block-copolymer self-assembly strategy associated with a direct carbonization process from resol, ferric citrate and triblock copolymer F127. The effects of iron loading on framework, pore features and magnetic propertie…
Structure-property relationships provide valuable guidelines for a systematic development of functional materials. Here an augmented bond-valence approach is worked out that is linked directly to the energy scale. This energy-scaled bond-valence approach is then used to identify ion-conduction pathways and to establis…
A facile and versatile method to prepare mesoporous core-shell nanostructures with a reversibly switchable nanoshell is reported. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) functionalities were anchored to the exterior surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), forming RAFT agent coated MSNs. RAFT…
This tutorial review provides insight into helical columnar assemblies based on thermotropic as well as lyotropic liquid crystals on the basis of the structural characteristics that promote hierarchical self-organization. The structural features of molecular materials that can present helical organizations imply the a…
