The uptake and movement of iron nanoparticles in elodea plants have been detected by the ESR method. This method is applied for the first time for the monitoring of the translocation, movement and uptake iron nanoparticles in plant organs. Exposition of st ...
Topographic nanostructuring of surfaces is a promising concept, in particular to improve the bio-integration of titanium orthopedic implants. In this context, a new method for the nanostructuring of anodised titanium surfaces was developed. Ordered topogra ...
Magnetite nanoparticles with a size of 5-6 nm with potential impact on biomedicine and information/communication technologies were synthesized by thermal decomposition of Fe(acac)(3) and subsequently coated with a silica shell exploiting a water-in-oil syn ...
Liquid–liquid phase separation occurs in young mammalian eye lenses and in concentrated solutions of isolated eye lens proteins, and has been linked to some forms of cataract. Here we study theoretically the protein compositions and cloud temperatures of t ...
In this contribution I summarize our research on the formation of nanoparticles embedded in a-SiO2-x matrices. In particular, I focus on the Si diffusion in SiO2-x matrices, and amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition in Si nanoparticles embedded in SiO2 ...
In recent years, a strong emphasis in research towards creating sustainable and environmental friendly chemical processes has propelled the development of novel types of catalytic systems that combine advantages from homogeneous and heterogeneous processes ...
The fabrication of oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steels is a multi-stage process involving powder ball milling, degassing and consolidation by hot isostatic pressing. Y is introduced by mechanical alloying (MA) with either Y2O3 or Fe2Y so a high dens ...
The design and synthesis of Janus nanoparticles has attracted great scientific interest in recent years. Novel optical, electronic, magnetic, and superficial properties emerge from their dimensions and unique morphology at the nanoscale. Additional propert ...
The success of nanoparticle-based devices will need reliable fabrication methods for well-defined, defect-free self-assembled structures of nanoparticles (NPs). NP self-assembly is a process governed by an interplay between many inter-particle interactions ...
Nanoparticles carrying biologically active functional sets (e.g., targeting moiety, payload, tracer) have potential use in a wide range of clinical applications. Though complex, such constructions should, as far as possible, have a defined molecular archit ...
