Core-shell system

However, in view of further NC functionalization, it is highly desirable to provide a surface passivation, which is insensitive to subsequent ligand exchange. This is obviously not the case with the described procedures for QY enhancement. A suitable and widely applied method consists of the growth of an inorganic shell on the surface of the NCs. The resulting core-shell systems will be described in detail in the following section. 

Firstly it can be used for obtaining layers with a thickness of several mono-layers to introduce and to distribute uniformly very low amounts of admixtures. This may be important for the surface of sorption and catalytic, polymeric, metal, composition and other materials. Secondly, the production of relatively thick layers, on the order of tens of nm. In this case a thickness of nanolayers is controlled with an accuracy of one monolayer. This can be important in the optimization of layer composition and thickness (for example when kernel pigments and fillers are produced). Thirdly the ML method can be used to influence the matrix surface and nanolayer phase transformation in core-shell systems. It can be used for example for intensification of chemical solid reactions, and in sintering of ceramic powders. Fourthly, the ML method can be used for the formation of multicomponent mono- and nanolayers to create surface nanostructures with uniformly varied thicknesses (for example optical applications), or with synergistic properties (for example flame retardants), or with a combination of various functions (polyfunctional coatings). Nanoelectronics can also utilize multicomponent mono- and nanolayers. 

Temperature influences the structure of TiC>2 synthesized as a nanolayer on SiC>2 and AI2O3. After 12 cycles at temperatures below 350°C on SiC>2, only anatase is formed. Above 600°C predominantly rutile is formed. At intermediate temperatures a mix of the two phases is formed. On aluminium oxide however, at low temperature the biphase system is formed. At 600°C 100%, anatase is formed on AI2O3. This illustrates the effect of the mutual influence of the matrix surface and the nanolayer on phase transformations in core-shell system. 

Particle chemistries were generated using several core/shell systems (Table 4), listing corona (and antigen) and shell solution composition, their ratio at production and dose used in mice. All particles were positively charged. The preparation of antigen (TT, DT)-loaded CT/TPP nanoparticles was described by Cal-vo et al. [14].

Summary The polycondensation of methyltrimethoxysilane in the presence of the surfactant benzethonium chloride shows the phenomenology of a polycondensation in microemulsion. These polyorganosiloxane micronetworks can be functionalized with azo groups which are capable of grafting reaction with vinylic monomers. The structure of the resulting core shell systems depends on the polarity of the organic solvent. In DMF moleculary dissolved star-like structures were observed.

A big amount of experimental studies of stability of many component systems Pt Me (where Me - transition metals Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru) indicates about the formation of nanoclusters with core-shell structures [11-13], where mechanisms of the processes (including corrosive) with the formation of such structures are described. Firstly this is a surface segregation during the process of multicomponent nanocluster preparation [14], Due to such segregation nanocluster surface becomes enriched by one of the components, especially by platinum with the reduction of surface energy in segregated binary nanocluster [75]. In the process of corrosive influence (in model conditions or in tests of fuel cells) a prevailing dissolution of one component from basic metal Me and surface enrichment by platinum with the formation of a core-shell system.

The main techniques of encapsulation of probiotic cells are based on spray drying, emulsification, and extrusion, which lead to matrix-type systems, as well as co-extrusion, and fluid-bed coating, which instead lead to core-shell systems. In both cases, the typical size of the encapsulation system is comprised between 1 and 5 pm in diameter, being dictated by the size of the microbial cells to be encapsulated. ... 

This is used for encapsulation of oils or lipohydro-soluble products. The capsules are very rich in internal phase (oil/aroma 50%-90%), with very thin wall ( core/shell system). If a final dry product is needed, the drying of capsules (fluid bed, freeze-drying) is delicate with possible loss of molecules with low MW.

Most interesting is the large increase in reinforcement even for small bound rubber thicknesses. Let us briefly discuss the advantages of the model. They find that the results obtained are realistic for small as well as intermediate filler concentrations, i.e. they are in accordance with experiments at least qualitatively. For the core-shell systems they have provided exact calculations of intrinsic moduli for various special forms of core-shell elasticity, i.e. soft spheres, hard spheres with soft surfaces, etc. These results contain no fit parameters and in principle both compressible and incompressible media are accessible.
