The Mechanochemical Formation of Functionalized Semiconductor Nanoparticles for Electronic and Superhydrophobic Surface Applications

Mitchell B.S., Fink M.J., Tulane University, US

A rapid, direct and efficient method for the fabrication of functionalized semiconductor nanoparticles is described. The mechanochemical method involves the simultaneous top-down formation of nanoparticles using high energy ball milling (HEBM) and reaction with a [...]

Interface-Property Relationships in Hybrid Nanocomposites from Near Net-Shape Manufacturing

Mitchell B.S., Tulane University, US

Near Net-Shape Manufacturing is a two-step materials processing technique, in which nanoparticles are formed via mechanical attrition, from which nanocomposites are formed by consolidation and densification using Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP). The technique is general [...]
