Polymer particles with micro- and nanoscale anisotropy have received increasing interest for their ability to simultaneously present different physical- and chemical properties. In this communication, we demonstrate that gold nanocrystals (NCs) can be selectively incorporated into one compartment of anisotropic polymer particles. Stable bicompartmental particles were prepared via electrohydrody...

Background and Objectives : Ethylbenzene (EB) is a dangerously organic compound which the presence of this pollutant in water solutions can be considered as an environmental and public health hazard. In this study, nano magnetic particles (Fe 3 O 4 ) were used as an adsorbent to remove ethylbenzene from aqueous solutions. Methods : The specification of the adsorbent was investigated by transmis...

In this paper, we study the shear-induced flow of magneto-polymer composites, consisting dispersions magnetic particles in solutions polymers, as a competition between colloidal forces amid and their bulk transport induced by hydrodynamic forces. For aim, analyse role different experimental parameters. Firstly, using only well-known anionic polymer (sodium alginate), provoke moderate hindering ...

magnetic nanoparticles attracted a great deal of attention in the medical applications due to their unique properties. the most exceptional property of magnetic particles is their response to a magnetic force, and this property has been utilized in applications such as drug targeting, bioseparation, contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and heating mediators for cancer therapy. in...

Ferrogels consist of magnetic colloidal particles embedded in an elastic polymer matrix. As a consequence, their structural and rheological properties are governed by a competition between magnetic particle-particle interactions and mechanical matrix elasticity. Typically, the particles are permanently fixed within the matrix, which makes them distinguishable by their positions. Over time, part...

Adsorption and desorption behavior of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) on surface-modified magnetic nanoparticles covered with thermosensitive polymer (PNIPAM) was investigated as a function of temperature, pH, and ionic strength. Functionalization of surface-modified magnetic particles was performed by seed polymerization using N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) as the main monomer. Characterization of ...

Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is a type of smart material which can vary its shear modulus rapidly, continuously and reversibly, by the external magnetic fi eld. MRE has attracted increasing attention and been widely used in various applications. Generally it has been created by dispersing magnetic fi ller particles in polymer matrices. Most current studies are focusing on the microstructu...

The depletion-induced phase separation in a mixture of colloidal particles (PMMA-latex) and nonadsorbing polymers [poly(styrene)] in a solvent (mixture of tetralin, cis-decalin, and carbon tetrachloride) was investigated in real space with confocal scanning laser microscopy in the initial, intermediate, and final stage. It was found that the kinetics and the morphology of the phase separation s...

Previous experiments have shown that spherical colloidal particles relax to equilibrium slowly after they adsorb to a liquid-liquid interface, despite the large interfacial energy gradient driving the adsorption. The slow relaxation has been explained in terms of transient pinning and depinning of the contact line on the surface of the particles. However, the nature of the pinning sites has not...
