Since few decades the search of new catalysts formulations for fuel cell applications has motivated numerous projects especially due to the future lack of fossil fuel, environmental and economical reasons. Consequently, Direct Alcohol Fuel Cell (DAFC) or D ...
The oxygen transmission rate of 48 nm thick SiO2 coatings on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrate was reduced by a factor of three after applying an 8 nm thick layer of oligomerized gammaaminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ-APS). Increasing the thicknes ...
The morphology, stability and reactivity of nanometre-sized particles (Au, Pt) is investigated on three different supports. Gold nanoparticles with a diameter comprised between 4 and 6nm are stabilized in nanosized pits of well defined depth in highly orie ...
The application of engineered nanoparticles (ENP) increased almost exponentially during the last decade. Next to carbon based ENP, metal based ENP are the next most commonly employed. Utilization of such particles for medical applications, remediation of t ...
Nanoparticles on an atomic carpet: Individual graphene sheets have been decorated with metal nanoparticles through electrochemistry. The attachment of Pd particles onto graphene renders it sensitive to hydrogen. The controlled functionalization of graphene ...
Highly water-soluble mixed monolayer protected "rippled'' gold nanoparticles were synthesized through a one step reaction with sodium 11-mercaptoundecanesulfonate and octanethiol ligands at various ratios. ...
We propose an original approach called “stencil-masked ion implantation process” to perform a spatially localized synthesis of a limited number of Si nanoparticles (nps) within a thin SiO2 layer. This process consists in implanting silicon ions at ultra-lo ...
The organic polymers incorporating inorganic nanoparticles can result in material possessing with unique size-dependent properties, such as mechanical, optical, electrical, thermal and magnetic, that can be istinctively conveyed into the composite by the s ...
Using petrol as a main source of energy, during the 20th century, has caused considerable amounts of damage among which are atmospheric pollution and global warming. At the same time, many geologists and economists expect that the discovery rate of new pet ...
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 ...
