Polymer nanocomposites constitute an important class of materials whose properties depend on the state of dispersion of the nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. Here we report the first observations ...

Plasmonic metal nanostructures (e.g., Au, Cu, Pt, Ru) have attracted considerable attention in photothermal catalysis due to their unique capabilities in light-field regulation and energy conversion.

The most widely available materials of the Earth's crust include natural silica and silicates, which are primarily crystalline. Because of their excellent biocompatibility, heat resistance, low ...

Polymer nanoparticles have been extensively studied as possible drug delivery systems because of their ability to control the discharge of drug contained within them and also because of their ...

What is Colloidal Silicon Dioxide? Colloidal silicon dioxide, in other terms known as ‘colloidal silica’, is a polymeric form of silicon. The non-toxic, naturally occurring element silicon is listed ...

Nanoparticles are increasingly being used in a wide range of sectors. This article evaluates particular mechanisms through which nanoparticles are uniquely developed and formulated. It also discusses ...
