[email protected] Abstract Organic electroactive materials derived from biomasses are promising candidates for next generation rechargeable batteries due to the low cost, sustainability and environmental benignity. Since organic materials have very low electronic conductivity, they are normally synthesized into nano-scale and mixed with conductive carbon...

Nanocomposite electrodes having three-dimensional (3-D) nanoscale architecture comprising of vertically aligned ZnO nanorod array core-polypyrrole (PPy) conducting polymer sheath and the vertical PPy nanotube arrays have been investigated for supercapacitor energy storage. The electrodes in the ZnO nanorod core-PPy sheath structure are formed by preferential nucleation and deposition of PPy lay...

Understanding crystallization mechanisms in nano-sized metallic glasses (MGs) is important to the manufacturing and application of these new nanomaterials that possess a unique combination structural functional properties. Due two-dimensional projections limited spatial and/or temporal resolutions experiments, significant questions (e.g., whether nucleation takes place on free surface or near-s...

Lipase solubilized within gold nanorod doped CTAB reverse micelles exhibited remarkable improvement in its activity mainly due to the enhanced interfacial domain of newly developed self-assembled nanocomposites.

Correction for 'Externally controlled drug release using a gold nanorod contained composite membrane' by Kibeom Kim, et al., Nanoscale, 2016, 8, 11949-11955.

We perform computer simulations to explore the escape dynamics of a self-propelled (active) nanorod from circular confinements with narrow opening(s).

Macrophages associated with implanted biomaterials are primary mediators of chronic inflammation and foreign body reaction to the implant. Hence, various approaches have been investigated to modulate macrophage interactions with biomaterial surfaces to mitigate inflammatory responses. Nanostructured materials possess unique surface properties, and nanotopography has been reported to modulate ce...

a feasibility study on the possible growth of rod-shaped nano size zinc oxide particles on the surface of polyester fabric was investigated. the nanoparticles were produced using a hydrolysis method, with a zinc compound being utilized as the starter material. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (sem/eds) and x-ray d...
