Using molecular dynamics calculations, we investigate the absorption of a C(60) molecule in a (10,10) nanotube either through the open end or a large defect in the tube wall as possible scenarios for the hierarchical self-assembly of (C(60))(n)@(10,10) "nano-peapods." We find the absorption through a defect to be significantly more efficient than the end-on absorption. This process occurs most ...

Nano-sized ZnO particles with a narrow size distribution and high crystallinity were prepared from aqueous solutions with high concentrations of Zn containing salts and citric acid in a conventional spray pyrolysis setup. Structure, morphology and size of the produced material were compared to ZnO material produced by simple spray pyrolysis of zinc nitrates in the same experimental setup. Using...

Super-resolution microscopy normally requiring complex and cumbersome optics is not applicable for in situ imaging through a narrow channel. Here, we demonstrate single hair-thin multimode fiber (MMF) endoscope (less than 250 ${\mu}m$) vivo light-field nano-imaging, which called spatial-frequency tracking adaptive beacon encoded nano-endoscopy (STABLE nano-endoscopy) that enables three-dimensio...

In this work, we report a nano-fluorophore prepared by polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) method based on reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The macromolecular agent was polyethylene glycol-based trithiocarbonate, and the monomer chalcone derivative terminated with ethylene group. reaction/assembly conducted in dioxane, where nanoparticles extremely unifor...

In order to investigate the control mechanism of composite phase change materials (PCM), a series nano-phase emulsion (NPCE) were prepared in this paper with high thermal conductivity, heat storage and low supercooling using hexadecane, octadecane, hexadecanol, octadecanol various metal nano-particles. Through mechanism, it is expected adjust transition range NPCE desirable range. The NPCEs cha...
