Methods for functionalization of microsized polystyrene beads with titania nanoparticles for cathodic electrophoretic deposition

Functionalization of colloidal particles based on the use of polyelectrolytes and heterocoagulation was combined with electrophoretic deposition (EPD), with the aim of depositing titania-polystyrene (TiO2-PS) composite particles on Ti6A14V substrates. The ...

Effect of particle size on the hydration kinetics and microstructural development of tricalcium silicate

Maria Mercedes Costoya Fernandez

Impure tricalcium silicate (Alite, C3S) is the most important and abundant phase of Portland cement. It reacts quickly with water to give calcium hydroxide (CH) and calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) which is the most important phase for strength development ...

Quantitative study of Ni-zirconia anode micro- and nanostructure related to SOFC stack degradation

Jan Van Herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Antonin Faes

As the performances of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) get attractive, long term degradation becomes the main issue for this technology. Therefore it is essential to localise the origin of degradation and to understand its mechanisms in order to find solutio ...

Effect of cell media on polymer coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs): Colloidal stability, cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake studies

Heinrich Hofmann, Jatuporn Salaklang, Alke Fink, Benedikt Steitz, Andrija Finka

The influence of the composition of the polymer coated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), vinyl alcohol/vinyl amine copolymer (A-PVA) and polyethylenimine (PEI) coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) on the colloidal stability, cytotoxicity and c ...

Motion of a colloidal particle in an optical trap

László Forró, Andrzej Kulik, Sylvia Jeney, Branimir Lukic

Thermal position fluctuations of a colloidal particle in an optical trap are measured with microsecond resolution using back-focal-plane interferometry. The mean-square displacement MSD(t) and power spectral density are in excellent agreement with the theo ...

Characterization of PEI-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for transfection: Size distribution, colloidal properties and DNA interaction

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Benedikt Steitz

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were coated with polyethylenimine. Here, we briefly describe the synthesis as well as DNA:PEI:SPION complexes and the characterization of the compounds according to their particle size, zeta-potential, mo ...

Confinement-induced liquid ordering investigated by x-ray phase retrieval

Hairun Guo, Christian David

Using synchrotron x-ray diffraction, we have determined the ensemble-averaged density profile of colloidal fluids within confining channels of different widths. We observe an oscillatory ordering-disordering behavior of the colloidal particles as a functio ...

Preparation and properties of KNbO3-based piezoelectric ceramics

Evelyn Hollenstein

During the last several years, new lead-free piezoelectric materials have been developed to replace the lead-based materials, such as PZT. Presently, the family of lead-free ceramics showing the most promising piezoelectric properties is based on potassium ...

Yield Stress of Multimodal Powder Suspensions: An Extension of the YODEL (Yield Stress mODEL)

Paul Bowen

The prediction of the rheological properties of concentrated suspensions is of great importance both in industrial processes (ceramics, cements, and pharmaceutics) and natural phenomena (debris flow, soil erosion). In a previous paper, we presented a new m ...

Effect of particle size on LiMnPO4 cathodes

Paul Bowen, Nam Hee Kwon

LiMnPO4 was synthesized using a sol–gel method and tested as a cathode material for lithium ion batteries. After calcination at temperatures between 520 and 600 ◦C, primary particle sizes in the range of 140–220 nm were achieved. Subsequent dry ball millin ...
