Hybridization of thiol-functionalized poly(phenylacetylene) with cadmium sulfide nanorods: improved miscibility and enhanced photoconductivity.

Thiol-functionalized mesoporous silica as nanocarriers for anticancer drug delivery

The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...

Adsorption Properties of Thiol-Functionalized Silica Nanoparticles Prepared for Application in Poly(ether sulfone) Nanocomposite Membranes

Ultralong cylindrical micelles precisely located with semiconductor nanorods by solvent evaporation-driven self-assembly.

We demonstrate the efficient incorporation of PS-tethered cadmium sulfide nanorods (PS-CdS NRs) into polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO) ultralong cylindrical micelles by solvent evaporation-driven self-assembly. The hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was used as the surfactant in chloroform-in-water emulsions. It is a prerequisite to improve the enthalpic compatibility b...

Improved electronic coupling in hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposites employing thiol-functionalized P3HT and bismuth sulfide nanocrystals.

In this study, we employ a thiol-functionalized polymer (P3HT-SH) as a leverage to tailor the nanomorphology and electronic coupling in polymer-nanocrystal composites for hybrid solar cells. The presence of the thiol functional group allows for a highly crystalline semiconducting polymer film at low thiol content and allows for improved nanomorphologies in hybrid organic-inorganic systems when ...
