Layer-by-layer assembled nanowire networks enable graph-theoretical design of multifunctional coatings
ABSTRACT: Complex multifunctional coatings combining order and disorder are central for information, biomedical, transportation, and energy technologies. Their scalable fabrication is possible using nanostructured composites made by layer-by-layer assembly (LBL)....
UV-Induced Gold Nanoparticle Growth in Polystyrene Matrix with Soluble Precursor
ABSTRACT: It is demonstrated that UV (LED at 365 nm) irradiation with subsequent heating (90–110 C) of the polystyrene matrix containing a soluble Au(I) compound ((Ph3P)Au(n-Bu)) results in the growth of gold nanoparticles within the sample bulk, as confirmed by...
Schottky Contacts on Polarity-Controlled Vertical ZnO Nanorods
Alex M. Lord, Vincent Consonni, Thomas Cossuet, Fabrice Donatini and Steve P. Wilks ABSTRACT: Polarity-controlled growth of ZnO by chemical bath deposition provides a method for controlling the crystal orientation of vertical nanorod arrays. The ability to define the...
Nanoparticle elasticity regulates phagocytosis and cancer cell uptake
Yue Hui, Xin Yi, David Wibowo, Guangze Yang, Anton P. J. Middelberg, Huajian Gao, Chun-Xia Zhao ABSTRACT: The ability of cells to sense external mechanical cues is essential for their adaptation to the surrounding microenvironment. However, how nanoparticle mechanical...Upcoming Events
