The field of nanotechnology now has pivotal roles in electronics, biology and medicine. Its
application can be appraised, as it involves the materials to be designed at atomic and …

The influence of silver (Ag) nanoparticles on the properties of poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) was
investigated. The nanocomposite was prepared by mixing a colloidal solution consisting of …

Various metal–chitosan nanocomposites were synthesized, including silver (Ag), gold (Au),
platinum (Pt), and palladium (Pd) in aqueous solutions. Metal nanoparticles were formed by …

Polymer‐based nanocomposites have been studied extensively for almost three decades.
However, the key questions remain as follows: Have they made in‐roads into the spectrum …

The dispersion and interfacial interactions between nanofillers and the polymer are two
crucial factors affecting the performance of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). In this study …

Star-shaped PbS nanocrystals were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal reaction
between Pb (NO3) 2· 4H2O and thioglycolic acid at a relatively low temperature. The PbS …

High quality luminescent CdS nanocrystals (NCs), with band edge emission tunable in the
blue region of the visible spectrum, were synthesized by means of thermal decomposition of …

Polyacrylamide− metal (M= Pt, Ag, Cu) nanocomposites with metal nanoparticles
homogeneously dispersed in the polymer matrix have been successfully prepared with the …

In this paper biopolymer chitosan was used as a matrix to fabricate cadmium sulfide (CdS)
quantum dots (QDs) with a narrow size distribution under mild conditions, resulting in a …

Polystyrene microbeads doped with highly luminescent CdS quantum dots (QDs) have been
prepared. Polystyrene particles with diameters ranging from 100 nm to 500 µm were …
