Multifunctional Nanocomposite Systems

Das A., Dinglasan J., Loukine N., Anderson D., Vive Nano, CA

A method to produce multifunctional nanocomposite materials is presented. Polymer stabilized nanoparticles (e.g. hydroxides, oxides, metals, salts, etc.) are incorporated into a bulk inorganic matrix (zinc oxide/hydroxide, aluminum oxide/hydroxide, ferric oxide, silica, ceria, etc) through [...]

Nanoparticle synthesis using polyelectrolyte nanoreactors

Anderson D.J., Dinglasan J., Goh J.B., Goh M.C., Veletanlic E., Goh J.B., Goh M.C., Vive Nano, CA

We report a facile method to synthesize a wide range of nanoparticles via polyelectrolyte nanoreactors. The nanoreactors are formed through ion-induced collapse of highly extended, high molecular weight anionic polyelectrolytes using metal salts. The formation [...]
