The dependence of iron oxide nanoparticle formation on the structure and thermal properties Fe oleate complexes has been studied using FTIR, elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM. combination DSC allowed us to reveal differences between structures for as-synthesized postsynthesis treated (drying extraction with polar solvents) compounds. As-synthesized was...
Noble metal nanoparticles have been used for more than 2000 years. Applications currently under discussion include solar cell technology, catalysis, and nonlinear optics, where the enormous interfacial surface area of colloidally dispersed metals their unique electronic properties resulting from size quantization are exploited. The problem stability these materials has addressed by using amphiphilic copolymer micelles (see figure) as a nanostructured stabilization environment particles...
Incorporation of CdSe/ZnS semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) into viral particles provides a new paradigm for the design intracellular microscopic probes and vectors. Several strategies incorporation QDs capsids were explored; those functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) can be self-assembled minimal release photoreaction products enhanced stability against prolonged irradiation.
Interaction of poly(2-vinylpyridine)−poly(ethylene oxide) (P2VP-b-PEO) diblock copolymers with noble metal compounds in aqueous media and nanoparticle formation such systems were studied. In all cases, the characteristics micelles filled strongly depend on nature geometry compound, which, turn, influences morphology finally produced nanoparticles. Metal compound addition induces micellization even at very low pH values, where P2VP-b-PEO block are dissolved molecularly. The driving force a is...
Efficient encapsulation of functionalized spherical nanoparticles by viral protein cages was found to occur even if the nanoparticle is larger than inner cavity native capsid. This result raises intriguing possibility reprogramming self-assembly structural proteins. The iron oxide nanotemplates used in this work are superparamagnetic, with a blocking temperature about 250 K, making these virus-like particles interesting for applications such as magnetic resonance imaging and biomagnetic...
Magnetically recoverable catalysts containing Ru/RuO<sub>2</sub> and iron oxide nanoparticles show remarkable activity selectivity in nitrobenzene-to-aniline hydrogenation.

Nuggets and threads form upon reduction of gold salts under various reaction conditions in nanometer-sized polymer gel particles (see picture on the right). Due to their structure resulting elasticity, these microgels create local environment that, as with biomineralization, favors production ordered nanostructures. Thus, size shape control are not restricted living organisms, but also possible synthetic colloid systems.
Micellization of a poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PEO45-b-P4VP28) copolymer in water during metalation (incorporation gold compounds and nanoparticle formation) with three types compounds, NaAuCl4, HAuCl4, AuCl3, was studied using dynamic light scattering (DLS) transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
