Shell protection

QDs are highly photostable [177]. The photostable nature results from the shell protecting the core, which is generally a large band gap semiconductor material [178,179]. For instance, InAs cores have been covered by different shells made of ZnS, ZnSe, GaAs [178], etc.

Most of US have eaten hard-boiled eggs. They are easy to cook and nutritious. But when was the last time you thought about the process of boiling an egg or looked carefully at a hard-boiled egg A lot of interesting chemical and physical changes occur while an egg cooks. A hen s egg is a complicated biochemical system, but here we will focus on the three major parts that we see when we crack open an egg the shell, the egg white or albumen, and the yolk. The shell protects the inner components from the ontside environment, bnt it has many microscopic pores through which air can pass. The albnmen is abont 88 percent water and 12 percent protein. The yolk contains 50 percent water, 34 percent fat, 16 percent protein, and a small amount of iron in the form of Fe ions. 

Just as shells protect FeS from oxidation near the interface, enclosure of sediment by shells aids in protecting particles from reworking by animals at FOAM. Physical processes at FOAM apparently have two indirect roles in reducing biogenic particle reworking disturbance decreases the residence time of given animal populations and therefore... 

Polyelectrolytes, such as PAA or P2VP, are well known for their ability to form complexes with metal ions. This property is of great significance when fabricating 1D hybrid nanostmctures from core-shell molecular bmshes. For example, amphiphilic core-shell molecular bmshes adopt a polyelectrolyte as the core to chelate and localize metal precursors a hydrophobic shell protects the ions from intermolecular cross-linking. In the first attempt made by Djalali et... 

PVK branches. As a result, ultrathin and robust a PVK shell was coated onto the surface of a PPy nanoseed. The shell thickness was controlled within the range of a few nanometers. Compared with pure PVK (conductivity, ca. 10 °Scm ), the core-shell nanoparticle showed superior conductivity (ca. 10 Scm ) and similar fluorescence, and revealed only 2-3% decrease in conductivity after 20 days because the shell protected the PPy core from environmental perturbation. Accordingly, this methodology opens up a route to the fabrication of similar core-shell nanocomposites through a broad selection of solvents, oxidizing agents, monomer types, and polymerization temperatures.

There are numerous potential applications for polymers in biotechnology and medicine. The main commercial application of polymers is the prodnction of smart pills where the (aside from medical plastics) polymer shell protects the pill from the harmfiil action of the stomach contents bnt allows the pill to dissolve in the intestine. There is not yet any other prodnct on the market that applies smart polymers, but the interest in these applications is growing in both the academic community and indnstiy. The following applications are considered in this article ...
