Polymer particles with micro- and nanoscale anisotropy have received increasing interest for their ability to simultaneously present different physical- and chemical properties. In this communication, we demonstrate that gold nanocrystals (NCs) can be sele ...
We report the observation of the reversible adsorption of core-shell gold-silver nanoparticles at the polarized water/1,2-dichloroethane interface using the nonlinear optical technique of surface second-harmonic generation. This study unambiguously demonst ...
Functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) are presently under intensive study aimed at creating useful tools for molecular diagnosis, therapy, and biotechnology. ...
A nanomosaic network of metallic nanoparticles for the detection of ultralow concentrations of proteins is reported, which uses two planar microelectrodes embedded in a microchip that permit generation of capacitive coupling to the nanomosaic system withou ...
We examine the pore space evolution during saturated stage of soil drying as obtained via porosimetry. This is modeled at a microscale using Poiseuille flow through the capillary vessels of the size of the actual modal pores, with deformable walls driven b ...
Self-assembled monolayer-protected nanoparticles are promising candidates for applications, such as sensing and drug delivery, in which the molecular ligands' interactions with the surrounding environment play a crucial role. We recently showed that, when ...
As conventional fabrication techniques reach their limits novel techniques are needed for fabrication of structures in the nanometer range. This thesis investigates new methods to create metal nanostructures or nanoparticles with an STM tip or a sharp meta ...
We describe a simple method based on postadsorption substrate stress induction to modify and control nanoscale phase-separated patterns formed in self-assembled monolayers. We show using mesoscale computer simulations and experiments that this method helps ...
The formation of complexes between nanoparticles and polyelectrolytes is a key process for the control of the reactivity of manufd. nanoparticles and rational design of core shell nanostructures. In this work, we investigate the influence of the nanopartic ...
We studied spark-generated bubble inside stable water drops produced in microgravity. The closed and isolated liquid geometry results in a unique confinement of subsequent shockwaves, since the latter bounce of the free surface. This setting results in an ...
