Nowadays new research area focused on hybrid inorganic/organic fibres materials based on bacterial cellulose and inorganic nanoparticles paid attention of many researches. It is well known that homogeneously dispersed nanoscale inorganic particles in a polymer matrix improve the mechanical properties of the resulting nanocomposites. Hybrid materials containing metal or semiconductor nanoparticl...

We describe and demonstrate a general strategy for engineering binary and ternary hybrid nanoparticles based on spontaneous epitaxial nucleation and growth of a second and third component onto seed nanoparticles in high-temperature organic solutions. Multifunctional hybrid nanoparticles that combine magnetic, plasmonic, and semiconducting properties and that are tunable in size and morphology c...

The lanthanide-functionalized multifunctional hybrid nanoparticles combining the superparamagnetic core and the luminescent europium complex were successfully designed and assembled via layer-by-layer strategy in this work. It is noted that the hybrid nanoparticles were modified by a hydrophilic polymer polyethyleneimine (PEI) through hydrogen bonding which bestowed excellent hydrophilicity and...

Silver (Ag) nanoparticle-loaded strontium titanate (SrTiO₃) nanoparticles were attempted to be synthesized by a sol-gel-hydrothermal method. We prepared the titanium oxide precursor gels incorporated with Ag⁺ and Sr2+ ions with various molar ratios, and they were successfully converted into the Ag-SrTiO₃ hybrid nanoparticles by the hydrothermal treatment at 230 °C in strontium hydroxide aqueous...

This research presents the interaction of the epoxy polymer diglicydil ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) with silica (SiO₂) nanoparticles plus zirconia (ZrO₂) nanoparticles obtained via the sol-gel method in the synthesis of an epoxy-silica-zirconia hybrid adhesive cured with polyamide. ZrO₂ nanoparticles were added to the epoxy-silica hybrid adhesive produced in situ to modify the apparent shear st...

A simple method has been described for the design of hybrid materials made of 1-ethyl3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (emim BF4) stabilized gold (0) nanoparticles providing clear evidence about the coordination and stabilization behavior of imidazolium ionic liquids. The monodispersed gold nanoparticles were thoroughly verified by steady state spectroscopy and TEM microscopy, the hybrid ma...

A novel enzymatic reactor was prepared by incorporating SBA-15 nanoparticles into hybrid organic-inorganic monolith and immobilizing trypsin with glutaraldehyde as bridging reagent. Preparation and operation conditions including nanoparticles percentage and residence time were optimized to improve the digestion efficiency. The digestion products were characterized by Matrix Assisted Laser Desor...

Polymeric nanoparticles and liposomes have been the platform of choice for nanoparticle-based cancer drug delivery applications over the past decade, but extensive research has revealed their limitations as drug delivery carriers. A hybrid class of nanoparticles, aimed at combining the advantages of both polymeric nanoparticles and liposomes, has received attention in recent years. These core/s...

Crosslinked organic and hybrid multilayer thin films based on polystyrene-grafted platinum nanoparticles and azidomethyl-functionalized polystyrenes are built-up by sequential spin-coating and UV crosslinking processes. This approach allows to easily tune thickness, composition and periodicity of each layer, as highlighted by TEM and neutron reflectivity experiments. Room temperature UV crossli...
