Engineered nanoparticles are the fastest growing nanotechnology product, and of increasing environmental concern. Examples include antimicrobial silver nanoparticles, iron oxide particles used in bulk scale for environmental remediation, and micro- and nan ...
Over the past decades, there has been a dramatic change in the types and amounts of metal ions in the biosphere, since we have introduced huge amount of metal waste into our environment in the course of industrialization of our society. Most of the metal c ...
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution were synthesized by hydrothermally treating suspensions of iron oxide nanoparticles. Ricinoleic-acid-coated magnetic nanoparticles were co precipitated at room temperature from an aqueous so ...
Understanding how nanomaterials interact with interfaces is essential to control their self-assembly as well as their optical, electronic, and catalytic properties. We present here an experimental approach based on neutron reflectivity (NR) that allows the ...
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 ...
STM conductance spectroscopy and mapping has been used to analyze the impact of molecular adsorption on the quantized electronic structure of individual metal nanoparticles. For this purpose, isophorone and CO2, as prototype molecules for physisorptive and ...
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 ...
We report for the first time 99.9% yield of aminocompounds and high TOFs (up to 61 s(-1)) in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of several para-substituted (-OH, -OCH3, -CH3, -H, -Br, -Cl, -COOH and -NO2) nitroaromatics over quasi-monodispersed (ca. 3.3 nm fro ...
It is known that the nanoparticle-cell interaction strongly depends on the physicochemical properties of the investigated particles. In addition, medium density and viscosity influence the colloidal behaviour of nanoparticles. Here, we show how nanoparticl ...
The metal oxide cluster alpha-AIW(11)O(39)(9-) (1), readily imaged by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), is used as a diagnostic protecting anion to investigate the self-assembly of alkanethiolate monolayers on electrostatically stabili ...
