The Synthesis of the Core/Shell Structured Diamond/Akageneite Hybrid Particles with Enhanced Polishing Performance.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the synthesis of the core/shell structured diamond/akageneite hybrid particles was performed through one-step isothermal hydrolyzing. The hybrid particle was characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectra. The test results overall reveal that the akageneite coating, phase β-FeO(OH), was uniformly coated onto the diamond surface. The polishing performance of the pristine diamond and hybrid particles for the sapphire substrate was evaluated respectively. The experimental results show that the hybrid particles exhibited improved polishing quality and prolonged effective processing time of polishing pad compared with diamond particles without compromising the material remove rate and surface roughness. The improved polishing behavior might be attributed to the β-FeOOH coating, which is conducive to less abrasive shedding and reducing the scratch depth.

Toward "Green" Hybrid Materials: Core-Shell Particles with Enhanced Impact Energy Absorbing Ability.

Project description:Restrained properties of "green" degradable products drive the creation of materials with innovative structures and retained eco-attributes. Herein, we introduce the creation of impact modifiers in the form of core-shell (CS) particles toward the creation of "green" composite materials. Particles with CS structure constituted of PLA stereocomplex (PLASC) and a rubbery phase of poly(?-caprolactone-co-d,l-lactide) (P[CL-co-LA]) were successfully achieved by spray droplet atomization. A synergistic association of the soft P[CL-co-LA] and hard PLASC domains in the core-shell structure induced unique thermo-mechanical effects on the PLA-based composites. The core-shell particles enhanced the crystallization of PLA matrices by acting as nucleating agents. The core-shell particles functioned efficiently as impact modifiers with minimal effect on the composites stiffness and strength. These findings provide a new platform for scalable design of polymeric-based structures to be used in the creation of advanced degradable materials.

Core-Shell Structured PLGA Particles Having Highly Controllable Ketoprofen Drug Release.

Project description:The non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen (KP) as a model molecule is encapsulated in different poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanostructured particles, using Tween20 (TWEEN) and Pluronic F127 (PLUR) as stabilizers to demonstrate the design of a biocompatible colloidal carrier particles with highly controllable drug release feature. Based on TEM images the formation of well-defined core-shell structure is highly favorable using nanoprecipitation method. Stabile polymer-based colloids with ~200-210 nm hydrodynamic diameter can be formed by successful optimization of the KP concentration with the right choice of stabilizer. Encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 14-18% can be achieved. We clearly confirmed that the molecular weight of the stabilizer thus its structure greatly controls the drug release from the PLGA carrier particles. It can be determined that ~20% and ~70% retention is available with the use of PLUR and TWEEN, respectively. This measurable difference can be explained by the fact that the non-ionic PLUR polymer provides a steric stabilization of the carrier particles in the form of a loose shell, while the adsorption of the non-ionic biocompatible TWEEN surfactant results in a more compact and well-ordered shell around the PLGA particles. In addition, the release property can be further tuned by decreasing the hydrophilicity of PLGA by changing the monomer ratio in the range of ~20-60% (PLUR) and 70-90% (TWEEN).

Core-Shell Structured Polyamide 66 Nanofibers with Enhanced Flame Retardancy.

Project description:We report the preparation of polymer nanofibers with enhanced flame retardancy by coaxial electrospinning polyamide 66 (PA 66) and nanoscale graphene hybridized with red phosphorus (NG-RP). Transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed that the nanofibers contained a NG-RP-based core surrounded by a PA 66 shell. The flame-retardant characteristics of the nanofibers were investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis, micro combustion calorimetry, and a series of vertical flame tests. The encapsulation of the NG-RP not only enhanced the flame-retardant characteristics of the nanofibers, but also improved their mechanical properties while maintaining the color and luster of the polymer, making the resultant nanofibers appropriate for use in a wide range of applications.

Facile Synthesis of Core-Shell Structured SiO2@Carbon Composite Nanorods for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Recently, SiO2 has attracted wide attention in lithium-ion batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, the utilization of SiO2 is impeded by the enormous volume expansion and low electric conductivity. Although constructing SiO2/carbon composite can significantly enhance the electrochemical performance, the skillful preparation of the well-defined SiO2/carbon composite is still a remaining challenge. Here, a facile strategy of in situ coating of polydopamine is applied to synthesis of a series of core-shell structured SiO2@carbon composite nanorods with different thicknesses of carbon shells. The carbon shell uniformly coated on the surface of SiO2 nanorods significantly suppresses the volume expansion to some extent, as well as improves the electric conductivity of SiO2. Therefore, the composite nanorods exhibit a remarkable electrochemical performance as the electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries. For instance, a high and stable reversible capacity at a current density of 100 mA g-1 reaches 690 mAh g-1 and a capacity of 344.9 mAh g-1 can be achieved even at the high current density of 1000 mA g-1. In addition, excellent capacity retention reaches 95% over 100 cycles. These SiO2@carbon composite nanorods with decent electrochemical performances hold great potential for applications in lithium-ion batteries.

Electrochemically Initiated Synthesis of Polyacrylamide Microgels and Core-shell Particles.

Project description:Herein, we developed a simple procedure for synthesizing micrometer-sized microgel particles as a suspension in an aqueous solution and thin films deposited as shells on different inorganic cores. A sufficiently high constant potential was applied to the working electrode to commence the initiator decomposition that resulted in gelation. Under hydrodynamic conditions, this initiation allowed preparing different morphology microgels at room temperature. Importantly, neither heating nor UV-light illumination was needed to initiate the polymerization. Moreover, thin films of the cross-linked gel were anchored on different core substrates, including silica and magnetic nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy imaging confirmed the microgel particles' and films' irregular shape and porous structure. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy indicated that the core coating with the microgel film was successful. Dynamic light scattering measured the micrometer size of gel particles with different combinations of acrylic monomers. Thermogravimetric analysis and the first-derivative thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the microgels' thermal stability of different compositions was different. Fourier-transform infrared and 13C NMR spectroscopy showed successful copolymerization of the main, functional, and cross-linking monomers.

Plasmonically Enhanced Superradiance of Broken-Symmetry Diamond Color Center Arrays Inside Core-Shell Nanoresonators.

Project description:Superradiance was demonstrated in broken-symmetry arrays of SiV diamond color centers embedded into concave plasmonic nanoresonators. The coupled configurations, including the diamond-silver (bare) and diamond-silver-diamond (coated) nanoresonators' geometry parameters as well as the emitters' azimuthal orientation and distance from the metal, were numerically optimized. An objective function consisting of the total fluorescence enhancement multiplied by the corrected emission quantum efficiency was used to design nanoresonators that promote superradiance. A larger total fluorescence enhancement was achieved via a larger number of emitters in both geometries, in coated spherical and in bare ellipsoidal nanoresonators. The superradiance performance was better in the case of a smaller number of emitters in bare spherical and coated ellipsoidal nanoresonators and in the case of a larger number of emitters in coated spherical and bare ellipsoidal nanoresonators. Ellipsoidal geometry is advantageous independent of composition and seeding. The configurations optimal for non-cooperative fluorescence enhancement and superradiance are coincidental. A radiative rate enhancement proportional to the number of emitters was found in wide spectral regions; therefore, superradiance implies N-fold enhancements coexist at excitation and emission. In ellipsoidal nanoresonators, the better superradiance achieved via a smaller quality-factor is accompanied by larger frequency pulling.

Fabrication of Core-Shell-Structured Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Nanocatalyst for the Expedient Synthesis of Polysubstituted Oxazoles via Tandem Oxidative Cyclization Pathway.

Project description:The quest for designing efficient heterogeneous catalytic systems for tandem oxidative cyclization reactions has provided a great impetus to research efforts, as it enables the step-economic construction of complex heterocyclic molecules as well as confers the benefits of a facile catalytic recovery. In the present study, we disclose a new core-shell-structured organic-inorganic hybrid copper nanocatalyst fabricated via the covalent grafting of 2,2'-dipyridyl ketone ligand on amine-functionalized silica-encapsulated magnetite nanoparticles, followed by its metallation with cupric acetate for the tandem oxidative cyclization of amines and β-ketoesters, leading to the production of biologically active polysubstituted oxazole moieties. This programmed catalytic protocol proceeds via the formation of intermolecular C-C and C-N bonds by single-step synthesis and accommodates a broad combination of reaction coupling partners.

Controlled Photocatalytic Synthesis of Core-Shell SiC/Polyaniline Hybrid Nanostructures.

Project description:Hybrid materials of electrically conducting polymers and inorganic semiconductors form an exciting class of functional materials. To fully exploit the potential synergies of the hybrid formation, however, sophisticated synthetic methods are required that allow for the fine-tuning of the nanoscale structure of the organic/inorganic interface. Here we present the photocatalytic deposition of a conducting polymer (polyaniline) on the surface of silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles. The polymerization is facilitated on the SiC surface, via the oxidation of the monomer molecules by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) light irradiation through the photogenerated holes. The synthesized core-shell nanostructures were characterized by UV-vis, Raman, and Fourier Transformed Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and electrochemical methods. It was found that the composition of the hybrids can be varied by simply changing the irradiation time. In addition, we proved the crucial importance of the irradiation wavelength in forming conductive polyaniline, instead of its overoxidized, insulating counterpart. Overall, we conclude that photocatalytic deposition is a promising and versatile approach for the synthesis of conducting polymers with controlled properties on semiconductor surfaces. The presented findings may trigger further studies using photocatalysis as a synthetic strategy to obtain nanoscale hybrid architectures of different semiconductors.

Copper-decorated core-shell structured ordered mesoporous containing cobalt ferrite nanoparticles as high-performance heterogeneous catalyst toward synthesis of tetrazole.

Project description:The present work describes the synthesis of copper immobilization on CoFe2O4/MCM-41 as a catalyst, which is created by attaching copper and ligand (N-phenyl anthranilic acid (PA)) on the surface of CoFe2O4/MCM-41 (CoFe2O4/MCM-41/PA/Cu). The synthesized CoFe2O4/MCM-41 support and immobilized copper were identified by FTIR, TEM, VSM, SEM XRD, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis. The results showed that MCM-41 silica was coated with magnetite nanoparticles and copper was successfully immobilized on this structure. The catalytic performance of synthesized catalyst was tested in the synthesis of tetrazole. It was shown that the solid catalyst exhibited a strong magnetic response and showed good catalytic activity in the synthesis of tetrazole. The catalytic test showed that copper supported on CoFe2O4/MCM-41 hybrid showed much better catalytic activity than copper supported on CoFe2O4, indicating that MCM-41 plays an important role in CoFe2O4/MCM-41 hybrid for the synthesis of tetrazole. Separation of the solid catalyst from the reaction mixture was easily performed by external magnetism without apparent mass loss. And the catalyst could be reused six times for the synthesis of heterogeneous tetrazole.

Core-Shell Structured HMX@Polydopamine Energetic Microspheres: Synergistically Enhanced Mechanical, Thermal, and Safety Performances.

Project description:The solid?solid phase transition, poor mechanical properties, and high sensitivity has impeded further practical applications of 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane (HMX) based polymer bonded explosives (PBXs). To address these issues together, a facile and effective route was employed to achieve a coating of polydopamine (PDA) on the surface of explosive crystals via in situ polymerization of dopamine. Additionally, PBXs based on HMX@PDA microcapsules were prepared with a fluoropolymer as polymer binder. Improved storage modulus, static mechanical strength and toughness, and creep resistance has been achieved in as-prepared PDA modified PBXs. The ?-? phase transition temperature of as-obtained PBXs based on conventional HMX (C-HMX)@PDA was improved by 16.3 °C. The friction sensitivity of the C-HMX based PBXs showed a dramatic drop after the PDA coating. A favorable balance proposed in this paper among thermal stability, mechanical properties, and sensitivity was achieved for C-HMX based PBXs with the incorporation of PDA.
