Two-dimensional (2D) anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) is expected to exhibit different properties as compared nanocrystallites, due its highly reactive exposed facets. However, access 2D TiO2 limited by the non-layered nature of bulk crystal, which does not allow use top-down chemical exfoliation. Large efforts have been dedicated growth with high facets bottom-up approaches, relies on harmful reagents. Here, we demonstrate a novel fluorine-free strategy based topochemical conversion 1T-TiS2...
An amino-trisulfonate tetraphenylporphyrin was conjugated to carboxylate cellulose nanocrystals giving rise a new nanomaterial with interesting binding properties.
Stabilisers, such as surfactants, polymers and polyaromatic molecules, offer an effective way to produce graphene dispersions in water by Liquid Phase Exfoliation (LPE) without degrading the properties of graphene. In particular, pyrene derivatives provide better exfoliation efficiency than traditional surfactants polymers. A stabiliser is expected be relatively soluble order disperse hydrophobic water. Here, we show that can also achieved with insoluble stabilisers if appropriately...
TiO 2 nanosheets are produced with a mass scalable and F-free bottom-up approach. The material is formulated into stable water-based ink exploited in printed diodes transistors, showing very good dielectric properties.
Pyrene derivatives with biomolecular functional groups (lysine and taurine) have been used to produce stable, concentrated biocompatible graphene dispersions amphoteric properties.
Novel pyrene surfactants for aqueous graphene exfoliation were prepared <italic>via</italic> C–H arylation of pyrene-1-carboxylic acid.
Nanocellulose (NC) is getting ahead as a renewable, biodegradable and biocompatible biomaterial. The NCs for this study were recovered from industrial cotton waste (CFT) by acid hydrolysis (HNC) 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) mediated oxidation (ONC). They functionalized radical based glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) grafting providing crystalline HNC-GMA ONC-GMA, allylation (ALL) amorphous HNC-ALL ONC-ALL. HNC, ONC their derivatives chemically morphologically characterized....
