Graphitic coated Al nanoparticles manufactured as superior energetic materials via laser ablation synthesis in organic solvents

Assessing the Surface Oxidation State of Free-Standing Gold Nanoparticles Produced by Laser Ablation

“…Then a droplet of the diluted colloidal solution is poured onto a 400-mesh copper grid covered with an holey carbon film (reference AGS147-4 from Agar Scientific Ltd). This specific measurement has been performed in order to investigate the possible presence of a carbon shell surrounding the nanoparticle when produced in organic solvents, as reported in the literature 14,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] . It is confirmed in Figure 1e where a low-Z non continuous shell is observed around the nanoparticles, attributed to one or two graphite monolayers (see below).…”

The role of size and nature in nanoparticle binding to a model lung membrane: an atomistic study

“…NPs are also actively mixed into consumer bulk products to enhance the properties of the matrix materials to which they are added (for instance, carbon black in tires, and titanium dioxide NPs in food products, toothpaste, and cosmetics 1,2 ). An interesting aspect of NPs is that their electromagnetic, 3 optical, 4,5 mechanical, and various other material responses often a Leiden Institute of Chemistry, Leiden University, P.O.

Applications of nano-materials in diverse dentistry regimes

“…One of the popular methods for producing nano-materials in different solvents is laser ablation synthesis, which entails the irradiation of a metal immersed in a liquid solution via a laser beam that condenses a plasma plume, thus generating the nano-materials. 62 3.1.4. Sputtering.…”
