The photocatalytic coatings were prepared via incorporating the modified titania nanoparticles into epoxy-based inorganic-organic hybrid coatings. Titania nanoparticles were first synthesized from tetra-n-butyl titanate using sol-gel methods by two different calcination treatments, i.e., in mild condition (80°C) and 500°C. The formed anatase nanoparticles were further modified as Titania-Silica...

We carried out a comparative study of electrical injection in longitudinal p-i-n and coaxial p-n core-shell nanowires by performing a three-dimensional numerical simulation. In the case of the core-shell structure, we show that both electrons and holes of high density can be efficiently injected into and confined in the structure even without an i-region. The required bias voltage and doping co...

this paper is a report on the synthesis of the fe3o4@ag core-shell with high saturation magnetization of magnetite nanoparticles as the core, by using polyol route and silver shell by chemical reduction. x-ray diffraction (xrd) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses confirmed that the particles so produced were monophase. the magnetic properties of the product were investigated by...

In the present contribution, a facile and efficient protocol for synthesis a nanohybrid structure of core-coronal-shell ZnO@ZIF-8 using ascorbic acid (ZnO@AA/ZIF-8) as a new adsorbent for arsenic removal from water has been represented. For this purpose, the ZnO nanospheres were synthesized by a green and simple method followed by coating with ascorbic acid (AA) to modify their surface to achie...

TiO2-SiO2 core-shell particles include of monodisperse silica core and nanostructured titania shell were synthesized by a multi-step coating process. The monodisperse silica spheres were synthesized by Stöber method and titania shell was obtained of a colloidal sol prepared by a hydrolysis–condensation reaction. The titania sol was deposited on monodisperse silica spheres by a multi-step coatin...

Introduction: Nanoparticles have several exciting applications in various fields of biomedicine. It has been found that among different classes of nanoparticles core/shell is most promising for field of nano-medical imaging and therapy due to their distinct advantages. The core/shell type nanoparticles can be generally comprising of two nanoparticles one act as a core (inner ma...

The efficient loading and sustained release of proteins from bioactive microspheres remain a significant challenge. In this study, we have developed bioactive microspheres which can be loaded with protein and then have a controlled rate of protein release into a surrounding medium. This was achieved by preparing a bioactive microsphere system with core-shell structure, combining a calcium silic...

The core-shell hybrid structure is the simplest motif of two-component systems which consists of an inner core coated by an outer shell. Core-shell composite materials are attractive for their biomedical, electronic and catalytic applications in which interface between core and shell is critical for various functionalities. However, it is still challenging to study the exact role that interface...

In this work, an attempt has been made to modify the shape and nanostructure of core-shell materials, which have been usually generated on the basis of amorphous spherical cores. Novel core-shell silicate particles, each of which consists of a silicalite-1 zeolite crystal core and mesoporous shell (ZCMS), were synthesized for the first time. The ZCMS core-shell particles are unique because they...
