Mesoporous materials with high specific surface, pores volume and unique pore size were
recently intensively studied as bio-materials, such as carriers for controlled bio-active …

The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

Nanomedicine, the use of nanotechnology for biomedical applications, has potential to
change the landscape of the diagnosis and therapy of many diseases. In the past several …

Through the process of photon upconversion, trivalent lanthanide doped nanocrystals
convert long-wavelength excitation radiation in the infrared or near infrared region to higher …

This book presents a comprehensive overview of microrheology, emphasizing the
underlying theory, practical aspects of its implementation, and current applications to …

Organic/inorganic composite materials have been extensively studied for a long time. When
inorganic phases in organic/inorganic composites become nanosized, they are called …

A high-intensity electron gun based on field emission from a film of aligned carbon
nanotubes has been made. The gun consists of a nanotube film with a 1-millimeter-diameter …

The invention generally relates to fluorescent nanoparticles and more specifically to silica-
based fluorescent nanopar ticles of less than 30 nm with covalently attached organic dyes …

Colloidal processing of ceramics is reviewed with an emphasis on interparticle forces,
suspension rheology, consolidation techniques, and drying behavior. Particular attention is …

A general method to coat colloids with silica is described. The amphiphilic, nonionic polymer
poly (vinylpyrrolidone)(PVP) was adsorbed to various colloidal particles such as small gold …
