in this work, we investigated synthesis, magnetic properties of silica coated metal ferrite, (cofe2o4)/sio2 and manganese doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (mnxco1-xfe2o4 with x= 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06)/sio2 for possible biomedical application. all the ferrites nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method using fecl3.6h2o, cocl2.6h2o and mncl2.2h2o as precursors, and were silica coated ...

The active substrates in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy were prepared through self-assembly of nanoparticles on functionalized glasses. Colloidal silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were prepared chemically in two different sizes by reduction of AgNO3 using trisodium citrate and sodium borohydride. Gold–silver core–shell nanoparticles were also prepared to compare between the o...

Core-shell nanoparticles often exhibit improved catalytic properties due to the lattice strain created in these core-shell particles. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of core-shell Au@Pd nanoparticles from their core-shell Au@Ag/Pd parents. This strategy begins with the preparation of core-shell Au@Ag nanoparticles in an organic solvent. Then, the pure Ag shells are converted into the shell...

Due to their high integrity, facile surface chemistry, excellent stability, and dual properties from the core and shell materials, magnetic-plasmonic core-shell nanoparticles are of great interest across a number of science, engineering and biomedical disciplines. They are promising for applications in a broad range of areas including catalysis, energy conversion, biological separation, medical...

The optical properties of multi-functionalized cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4), cobalt zinc ferrite (Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4), and zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles have been enhanced by coating them with silica shell using a modified Stöber method. The ferrites nanoparticles were prepared by a modified citrate gel technique. These core/shell ferrites nanoparticles have been fired at temperatures: 400°C, 6...

FePt/iron oxide core/shell nanoparticles are synthesized by a two step polyol process with 1,2hexadecanediol as the reducing reagent. Monodispersed 2.6-nm FePt nanoparticles are first obtained by reduction of iron(III) acetylacetonate and platinum(II) acetylacetonate. These preformed FePt nanoparticles are then used as seeds and an iron oxide shell is formed in the second synthesis step. The ro...

   Nickel-molybdenum oxidebimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized in ethylene glycol using the microwave irradiation technique. According to the results, successive reduction of nickel and molybdenum ions, followed by thermal treatment of obtained nanoparticles led to formation of core-shell structured nickel-molybdenum oxide nanoparticles. According to the results, the thickness of the s...

Development of simple and reliable protocols for the synthesis of phase-pure core–shell metal nanoparticles is an important problem in nanomaterials synthesis; the synthesis of Co-core Au-shell nanoparticles is described in this paper. The formation of these core–shell nanoparticles is driven by a displacement reaction on the surface of cobalt nanoparticles, where the surface of the cobalt nano...

Unimolecular core−shell and hollow polymer nanoparticles with well-defined dimensions were crafted using spherical core−shell starlike diblock copolymers as templates. Monodisperse and structurally stable star-like diblock copolymers composed of inner degradable core blocks and outer photo-cross-linkable shell blocks were synthesized via a combination of two living polymerization techniques, na...
