Nanoparticle hybrids

Synthesis of Si02- and Ti02-nanoparticles hybrids with MWCNTs has also been reported (Fig. 3.19) the reaction proceeds by means of phosphonic acid-modified and alkoxy silane-modified CNTs which can cap the oxides and template their assembly onto the CNT s surface [99].

Supramolecular Nucleic Acid/Nanoparticle Hybrid Structures for Electrical Sensing... 

The tremendous progress in supramolecular chemistry and nanoscience provided intellectual concepts and guidelines to implement biomolecules and nano-objects as functional units for the self-assembly of biomolecular structures, or biomolecule-nanoparticle hybrid systems. Such biomolecular supramolecular complexes or hybrid biomolecular composites are anticipated to reveal properties and functions that emerge from the complexity of the structures. 

In 2003, Sugimoto and Kanie published what appears to be the first claim on the formation of nematic-like one-dimensional ordering in liquid crystal-nanoparticle hybrid materials. Different shapes of Ti02 nanoparticles were hybridized with two structurally different rod-like liquid crystal amines (one based on a cyanobiphenyl and a second with a fluorinated cyclohexylbiphenyl core), but only the combination of spindle-like Ti02 nanorods (with an aspect ratio greater than 10) with the...

An application of biomolecule-nanoparticle hybrid supramolecular assemblies is the sensitive detection of p53, a tumor suppressor protein, by AuNP streptavidin conjugates capped with multiple ferrocene molecules.26 As shown in Figure 8.6, a mixed monolayer of double-stranded DNA and 1-hexanethiol on an Au electrode is used to capture p53, which binds to DNA containing the consensus site sequence. Subsequent conjugation of the captured p53 with biotin allowed for attachment of...

The process of miniemulsion allows in principle the use of all kinds of monomers for the formation of particles, which are not miscible with the continuous phase. In case of prevailing droplet nucleation or start of the polymer reaction in the droplet phase, each miniemulsion droplet can indeed be treated as a small nanoreactor. This enables a whole variety of polymerization reactions that lead to nanoparticles (much broader than in emulsion polymerization) as well as to the synthesis of nanoparticle hybrids, which were not accessible before.
