General principles and recent developments in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)
are reviewed. The “in situ” Turkevich-Frens and Brust-Schiffrin methods are still major …

Hydrogels are important functional materials with a myriad of potential applications. As the
chemically stable and interlocked polymeric network retains vast amounts of water without …

Ag-based nanoparticles (NPs) catalysts have recently attracted increasing attention in NaBH
4-assisted nitrophenol reduction, especially in 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction. Moreover, Ag …

Inorganic nanoparticle/dendrimer nanocomposites received considerable attention in the
past decade due to their unique properties (catalytic, optical, magnetic, biomedical …

Hyperbranched polyethylenimine (HPEI) modified polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF) was
prepared through a water mediated hydrolysis and amidation reaction in an autoclave. The …

Homopolymers have been considered as a nonideal building block for creating well-defined
nanostructures due to their fuzzy boundary between hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties …

Radially polymerized dendritic compounds are nowadays an established polymer category
next to their linear, branched, and cross-linked counterparts. Their uncommon tree-like …

SERS substrates with high sensitivity, SERS enhancement and stability are essential for
fabrication of SERS sensors to detect dyes at low concentration. Such substrates generally …

In this paper, three types of novel magnetically recoverable core–shell heterogeneous
nanoparticle catalysts were prepared by individual grafting of poly (amidoamine) dendrimer …

Two types of bead-shaped stable heterogeneous nanoparticle catalysts, viz. polymer-
supported poly (styrene) functionalized with poly (vinylimidazole) immobilized silver …
