Polymer-Nanoparticle Composites: From Synthesis to Modern Applications
The addition of inorganic spherical nanoparticles to polymers allows the modification of the polymers physical properties as well as the implementation of new features in the polymer matrix. This review article covers considerations on special features of inorganic nanoparticles, the most important synthesis methods for ceramic nanoparticles and nanocomposites, nanoparticle surface modification...
متن کاملNeutron-optical gratings from nanoparticle-polymer composites
The preparation of neutron-optical phase gratings with light-optical holography is reviewed. We compare the relevant concepts of: (i) Kogelnik’s theory for Bragg diffraction of light by thick volume gratings, which can be used to analyze holographic gratings with both light and neutrons, and (ii) the dynamical theory of neutron diffraction. Without going into mathematical detail, we intend to i...
متن کاملThermally responsive polymer-nanoparticle composites for biomedical applications.
Thermally responsive polymer-metal nanoparticle composites couple the ability of certain metal nanoparticles to convert external stimuli to heat with polymers that display sharp property changes in response to temperature changes, allowing for external control over polymer properties. These systems have been investigated for a variety of biomedical applications, including drug delivery, microfl...
متن کاملNeutron optical beam splitter from holographically structured nanoparticle-polymer composites.
We report a breakthrough in the search for versatile diffractive elements for cold neutrons. Nanoparticles are spatially arranged by holographical means in a photopolymer. These grating structures show remarkably efficient diffraction of cold neutrons up to about 50% for effective thicknesses of only 200 μm. They open up a profound perspective for next generation neutron-optical devices with ...
متن کاملDesigning polymer-tethered membrane-nanoparticle composites
This thesis proposes a novel design of nanoparticles for drug delivery. By tethering a bilayer membrane vesicle to a solid nanoparticle core at its center using hydrophilic soft polymers, this structure is expected to exhibit improved stability, narrowed size distribution, and a variety of functionalization possibilities. Various aspects of this design will be examined from a theoretical perspe...
