Nanoparticles probably constitute the largest class of nanomaterials. Nanoparticles of
several inorganic materials have been prepared by employing a variety of synthetic …

Castor oil (CO) is an inedible vegetable oil (VO) that has been employed extensively as a
bioresource material for the synthesis of biodegradable polymers, cosmetics, lubricants …

We present an innovative approach to the production of single-crystal iron oxide nanorings
employing a solution-based route. Single-crystal hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanorings were …

We report a novel method for the synthesis of a self-reducible (thermally reducible without a
reducing atmosphere) and alcohol-soluble copper-based metal–organic decomposition …

A series of lead (II) alkylxanthates,[Pb (S2COR) 2](R= ethyl (1), n-propyl (2), n-butyl (3), n-
hexyl (4) or n-octyl (5)) have been prepared and explored as single source precursors for …

Iron fatty acid complexes (IFACs) are prepared via the dissolution of porous hematite
powder in hot unsaturated fatty acid. The IFACs are then decomposed in five different …

Colloidal dispersions of cerium oxide nanoparticles are of importance for numerous
applications including as catalysts, chemical mechanical polishing agents and additives for …

The decomposition of melts of single-source precursors has yielded a range of interesting
nanocrystals. The metal and semiconductor nanomaterials produced often display very …

A general strategy has been developed to synthesize metal nanoparticles by solid-state
redox reaction under ambient conditions. A series of metallic nanoparticles, such as Ni, Fe …

This work reports on the structural and magnetic properties of 10 nm-sized Co nanoparticles,
along with a surface investigation of chemi-adsorption of fatty acid-like oleic acid on their …
