A new pathway to nano-sized hollow-sphere particles from six-arm star polymers with an amphiphilic core-corona structure, synthesized in a four-step-procedure by means of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is presented, in order to achieve more stable and versatile nano-container systems, which could be applied in the fields of drug delivery or catalyst stora...

In this paper the Quasi-Static poro-thermoelasticity model of a hollow and solid sphere under radial symmetric loading condition (r, t) is considered. A full analytical method is used and an exact unique solution of the Quasi-Static equations is presented. The thermal, mechanical and pressure boundary conditions, the body force, the heat source and the injected volume rate per unit volume of a ...

Three dimensionally ordered nitrogen-fluorine (N-F) co-doped TiO2 inverse opals (IOs) were fabricated by templating with polystyrene (PS) colloidal photonic crystals (CPCs) by infiltration. During preparation, the TiO2 precursor was treated with a mixture of nitric acid and trifluoroacetic acid to facilitate N-F co-doping into the TiO2 lattice. Enhanced solar light absorption was observed in th...

The recycling technology of photocatalyst powdery has hardly been mature in the photocatalytic oxidation so far. In this work, hollow TiO2 microspheres with an appropriate thickness are confined carbon (CMSs) to form TiO2@CMSs, which physically integrated carbon-fiber textile by van der Waals (vdW) interactions generate separable and recyclable TiO2@CMSs/carbon-fiber vdW heterostructures. Such ...
