core-shell nanostructures are emerging as more important materials than alloy nanostructures and have much more interesting potential applications in various fields. in this work, we demonstrated the fast and facile synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles consisting of pt thin layer as the shell and ni nanoparticles as the cores. the described method herein is suitable for large-scale and low-cos...

the effect of γ-al2o3 nanoparticles on heat transfer rate, baffle spacing and pressure drop in the shell side of small shell and tube heat exchangers was investigated numerically under turbulent regime. γ-al2o3-water nanofluids and pure water were used in the shell side and the tube side of heat exchangers, respectively. since the properties of γ-al2o3-water nanofluids were variable, they were ...

Introduction: Nanoparticles have several exciting applications in various fields of biomedicine. It has been found that among different classes of nanoparticles core/shell is most promising for field of nano-medical imaging and therapy due to their distinct advantages. The core/shell type nanoparticles can be generally comprising of two nanoparticles one act as a core (inner ma...

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...

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...

This paper describes the syntheses of core/shell gold nanoparticles stabilized with a monolayer of double hydrophilic block copolymer and their stimuli responsiveness before and after shell cross-linking. The hybrid nanoparticles consist of gold core, cross-linkable poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMA) inner shell, and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) corona. First, diblock copolymer PEO-...

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 luminescence efficiency of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles is of particular importance for their embodiment in biophotonic and photonic applications. Here, we show that the upconversion luminescence of typically used NaYF₄:Yb3+30%/Tm3+0.5% nanoparticles can be enhanced by ~240 times through a hierarchical active core/active shell/inert shell (NaYF₄:Yb3+30%/Tm3+0.5%)/NaYbF₄/NaYF₄...
