چکیده

Well-defi ned, functional colloids provide critical model systems for a variety of fundamental phenomena in materials and soft matter, and enable a broad range of technological applications from optics [ 1 ] to biotechnology. [ 2 ] The ability to fabricate large quantities of colloids with high uniformity and specifi ed shape and function has thus been greatly desired. For example, magnetic colloids can be externally manipulated and controlled, and have been used in applications ranging from photonic crystals, [ 3 ] cell sorting, [ 2 ] biosensors, [ 4 ] drug delivery, [ 5 ] biomedical applications, [ 6 ] and single-molecule biophysics. [ 7 ] Magnetic colloids that can be remotely controlled by applied fi elds have also been exploited in m-ink, [ 8 ] microrheological probes, [ 9–11 ] and a variety of self-organizing systems. [ 12 , 13 ] In a similar fashion, ferrofl uids and magneto-rheological fl uids are frequently used to make useful materials because of their tuneable dynamic response. [ 14 , 15 ]

Synthesis and Characterization of Fe3O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles Coated with Carboxymethyl Chitosan Grafted Sodium Methacrylate

N-sodium acrylate-O-carboxymethyl chitosan [CMCH-g-PAA(Na)] bound Fe3O4 nanoparticles were developed as a novel magnetic nanoparticles with an ionic structure that can be potentially used in many fields. CMCH-g-PAA (Na) was obtained by grafting of sodium polyacrylate on O-carboxymethyl chitosan, which is an amphiphilic polyelectrolyte with the biocompatibility and biodegra...

Multifunctional superparamagnetic Janus particles.

In this study, we report the microfluidic-based synthesis of a multifunctional Janus hydrogel particle with anisotropic superparamagnetic properties and chemical composition for the bottom-up assembly of hydrogel superstructures. In a uniform magnetic field, the resulting Janus magnetic particles fabricated in the present method exhibit chainlike or meshlike superstructure forms, the complexity...

Influence of reaction parameters on crystal phase growth and optical properties of ultrasonic assisted hydro- and solvothermal synthesized sub-micrometer-sized CdS spheres

Sub-micrometer-sized CdS spheres were synthesized by hydrothermal and solvothermal reactions using Cd(NO3)2.4H2O and CH4N2S raw materials at a constant stoichiometric 1 : 2, Cd : S molar ratio. Various conditions such as solvent type (water and/or ethanol), reaction time and temperature were examined for the synthesis of the targets. The sy...
