Highly mesoporous antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) materials with three-dimensionally connected textural pores were prepared by a convenient one-pot process by creating, drying and calcining hydrous ATO and resorcinol-form...
We report an in situ synthesis of graphene-metal hybrids using graphene as the buffer layer by a substrate-induced galvanic reaction. Ag nanoplates are obtained with the template effect of graphene, and their morphologie...
Two new semiconducting polymers based on indacenodithiophene and thiadiazolo[3,4-c]pyridine units were synthesized via Stille coupling polymerization. The polymers, PIDTPyT and PIDTDTPyT, exhibited main absorption bands ...
In inorganic nanowire memory, both physical features rendered during synthesis and integration processes and intrinsic properties of materials are important because they present appropriate schemes for facile fabrication...
Morphological transitions of self-assemblies of organic amphiphiles responsive to environmental stimuli have drawn much attention. However, little has been investigated regarding the effects of structural factors of cali...
The recent development of functional crystalline nanomaterials for therapeutics is described. In contrast to conventional therapeutic approaches, nanomaterial-based systems present novel therapeutic opportunities; for ex...
Incorporation of organic photofunctional guests into host matrices has attracted considerable interest as a means of achieving controllable luminescence and other photofunctional properties for application in the next ge...
Single-walled metal-organic nanotubes (SWMONTs) represent a family of new, structured porous materials. Metal-organic nanotubes (MONTs) offer an attractive alternative to carbon nanotubes because cationic metal ions are ...
Ag-Cu nanoalloys were synthesized by chemical co-reduction of their metal salts in aqueous solution with hydrazine hydrate, in the presence of complexing agent and stabilizer, preventing the oxidation of copper, as revea...
We report a novel method to synthesize functional Janus nanoparticles using a polymer single crystal templating method. These functionalized Janus nanoparticles can be used to fabricate homo- and hetero-nanoparticle dime...
We report on a novel spinning technique, termed double-spinning (DS) by combining electro-spinning (ES) and centrifuge-spinning (CS), to fabricate superfine polymer fibers. With a low operating voltage and a slow rotatin...
Strong photoluminescent carbon nanodots (C-dots) were synthesized by one-step microwave assisted pyrolysis of glycerol in the presence of 4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecanediamine (TTDDA). The formation and surface passivation...
The energy transfer cassettes composed of coumarin and Bodipy as well as NIR distyryl Bodipys were designed to capture photonic energy and convert it to longer wavelength fluorescence emission; large pseudo-Stokes' shift...
A simple and easy method was developed for preparation of large-scale free-standing mesoporous protein thin films through a filtration technique by using ultrathin metal hydroxide nanostrands as frames and pore templates...
An in situ cross-linkable gelatin-poly(ethylene glycol)-tyramine (GPT) hydrogel was developed as a novel injectable material for tissue regenerative medicine. The hydrogel was formed rapidly using horseradish peroxidase ...
Self-sterilizing surfaces were created using a single-step solventless grafting method. The grafting process was conducted by vapor deposition of a crosslinked poly(dimethylaminomethyl styrene-co-ethylene glycol diacryla...
