Abstract: Silica nanosphere with a diameter of 10–15 nm were organized into fibers with a lenght of 15 mm and an aspect ratio of 100 by self-assembly in 1,4-dioxane. Dioxane causes a positive zeta potential on the silica surface thus silica in dioxane may behave as an acceptor (base catalyzer) causing decomposition of dioxane to acetaldehyde and its consequent polymerization into oligomer or polymer (polyoxyethylene) chains that bond the particles together.

Abstract: Sarcosine oxidase (SOX) is a flavoprotein and cleaves sarcosine to form hydrogen peroxide, glycine andformaldehyde. Sarcosine is commonly found in muscle, tissues, toothpaste and food supplements. [..] Read more

Abstract: Two-dimensional colloidal nanocrystals have recently revealed a great potential as optical gain media due to their remarkable optical properties. Besides controlling the size and shape of semiconductor nanocrystals the variation in the chemical composition is another way to control the optical properties of nanomaterials. [..] Read more

Abstract: Metal and organometal halide perovskites, an emerging class of direct bandgap semiconductors, have attracted great attention lately. Lead halide perovskites were recognized as promising candidates for future lighting applications, due to their high quantum yield, narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM), and wide color gamut.

Abstract: Nanofiber’s morphology features (diameter, pore size, roughness) together with mechanical properties and biocompatibility are crucial for the evaluation of nanofibrous web’s structures properties. Surface’s morphology strongly affects among all the physical, mechanical, and biological properties of the web’s structures. [..] Read more

Abstract: Combustion methods are a promising strategy for the lanthanide oxide nanomaterials preparation. They are environmentally friendly, they have feasible experimental setup and can be easily upscaled. [..] Read more

Abstract: Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) has recently received much attention because of their wide range in applications such as layers in biosensors, electronic active layers or interlayers in organic electronic devices like organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs), organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). Photolithography is a basic and long established technique used in the preparation of processors and other electronic components. [..] Read more

Abstract: Zinc oxide plays an important role in various industries from electronics to cosmetics. Due to its special characteristics such as antiseptic, astringent and fungistatic properties, anti-corrosion, low electron conductivity and good heat resistance is still the subject of current research.

Abstract: Nanomaterial powders and colloids are already a large industry and are expected to continue to grow rapidly. In the context of risk assessment associated with nanomaterials, characterization of nanoparticle size and morphology is required. [..] Read more

Abstract: Creation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces with the spatially selective distribution of grafted organic moieties have great potential in the field of medicine and avionics. The one of more scalable approaches for spatially selective surface modification is based on colloid lithography, which allows large throughput for the subsequent surface grafting and realization of periodic chemical pattern.

Abstract: All-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals with chemical formula CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I) attract much scientific attention since they possess unique optical properties, such as high extinction coefficients and values of emission quantum yield, together with ease of their synthesis and tunability in the chemical composition. However, these nanomaterials are still far from their large-scale applications since they lack stability. [..] Read more
