Colouring crystals with inorganic nanoparticles.

چکیده
A simple, one-pot method is presented whereby gold nanoparticles coated with a zwitterionic diblock copolymer are incorporated within single crystals of calcite. This may provide a versatile alternative to dyeing crystal with organic molecules and could be extended to create a series of new nanocomposite crystals with novel properties.

Chemical Preparation of Supported Bimetallic Catalysts. Gold-Based Bimetallic, a Case Study
This review focuses on the chemical methods used to prepare supported bimetallic heterogeneous catalysts, i.e., bimetallic nanoparticles deposited on a support. The review is limited to the preparation of gold-based bimetallic catalysts and moreover to bimetallic nanoparticles supported on powder inorganic supports, i.e., on the surface or in the porosity, and not on model supports such as sing...
متن کاملLamellar Lα mesophases doped with inorganic nanoparticles.
The development of nanostructured hybrid systems is a flourishing area of research, which brings together chemistry, physics and materials science. These systems are composed of nanoparticles with interesting properties (e.g. optical, magnetic, catalytic) dispersed within an organic matrix. Control of both the position and orientation of the particles in a precise and reproducible way is an imp...
متن کاملLinearly polarized light-induced anisotropic orientation of binuclear Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) Schiff base complexes including or without methyl orange in PVA
It is well known that a lot of organic polymers of liquid crystals containing azo-groups exhibit optical anisotropy after polarized UV light irradiation. In recent year, optical properties of anisotropic nanoparticles in polymers of non-crystalline solid being regularly aligned by external mechanical or magnetic stimulus have been studied with polarized fluorescence spectroscopy and Bragg refle...
متن کاملSulfate-based anionic diblock copolymer nanoparticles for efficient occlusion within zinc oxide.
Occlusion of copolymer particles within inorganic crystalline hosts not only provides a model for understanding the crystallisation process, but also may offer a direct route for the preparation of novel nanocomposite materials with emergent properties. In the present paper, a series of new well-defined anionic diblock copolymer nanoparticles are synthesised by polymerisation-induced self-assem...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of self-limiting monodisperse supraparticles from polydisperse nanoparticles.
Nanoparticles are known to self-assemble into larger structures through growth processes that typically occur continuously and depend on the uniformity of the individual nanoparticles. Here, we show that inorganic nanoparticles with non-uniform size distributions can spontaneously assemble into uniformly sized supraparticles with core-shell morphologies. This self-limiting growth process is gov...
