Book Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites

Download or read book Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites written by Visakh P. M. and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanomaterials are defined as materials in which at least one length dimension is below 100 nanometers. In this size regime, these materials exhibit particular - and tunable - optical, electrical or mechanical properties that are not present at the macro-scale. This opens up the possibility for a plethora of applications at the interface of materials, chemistry, physics and biology, many of which have already entered the commercial realm. When nanomaterials are blended with other materials not necessarily in the nanometer regime, the resulting nanocomposites can exhibit dramatically different properties than the bulk material alone, leading to an enhanced performance in terms of, for example, increased thermal and mechanical stability. This book presents the synthesis, characterization and applications of nanomaterials and nanocomposites, covering zero-dimensional, elemental nanoparticles, one-dimensional materials such as nanorods and nanowhiskers, two-dimensional materials such as graphene and boron nitride as well as three-dimensional materials such as fullerenes, polyhedral oligomers and zeolites, complemented by bio-based nanomaterials, e.g., cellulose, chitin, starch and proteins. Introductory chapters on the state-of-the-art of nanomaterial research and the chemistry and physics in nanoscience and nanotechnology round off the book.

Book Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO Graphene Nanostructures for Electronics and Photocatalysis

Download or read book Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO Graphene Nanostructures for Electronics and Photocatalysis written by Seyed Ebrahim Chalangar and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent rapid development of electronics and electro-optical devices demands affordable and reliable materials with enhanced performance. Forming nanocomposites of already well-known materials is one possible route towards novel functional materials with desirable synergistic enhanced properties. Incompatible chemical properties, mismatched crystal structures and weak bonding interactions between the substances, however, often limit the number of possible nanocomposites. Moreover, using an inexpensive, facile, large-area and flexible fabrication technique is crucial to employ the new composites in industrially viable applications. This thesis focuses on the synthesis and characterization of different zinc oxide/graphene (ZnO/GR) nanocomposites, well suited for optoelectronics and photocatalysis applications. Two different approaches of i) substrate-free random synthesis, and ii) template-assisted selective area synthesis were studied in detail. In the first approach, ZnO nanoparticles/rods were grown on GR. The obtained nanocomposites were investigated for better GR dispersity, electrical conductivity and optical properties. Besides, by adding silver iodide to the nanocomposite, an enhanced plasmonic solar-driven photocatalyst was synthesized and analyzed. In the second approach, arrays of single, vertically aligned ZnO nanorods were synthesized using a colloidal lithography-patterned sol-gel ZnO seed layer. Our demonstrated nanofabrication technique with simple, substrate independent, and large wafer-scale area compatibility improved the alignment and surface density of ZnO nanorods over large selective growth areas. Eventually, we found a novel method to further enhance the vertical alignment of the ZnO nanorods by introducing a GR buffer layer between the Si substrate and the ZnO seed layer, together with the mentioned patterning technique. The synthesized nanocomposites were analyzed using a large variety of experimental techniques including electron microscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy for in-depth studies of their morphology, chemical and optical properties. Our findings show that the designed ZnO/GR nanocomposites with vertically aligned ZnO nanorods of high crystalline quality, synthesized with the developed low-cost nanofabrication technique, can lead to novel devices offering higher performance at a significantly lower fabrication cost.

Book SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOCOMPOSITES FOR DRUG DELIVERY APPLICATIONS

Download or read book SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOCOMPOSITES FOR DRUG DELIVERY APPLICATIONS written by V. Karthika and published by V. Karthika. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites for drug delivery applications is an emerging field that aims to develop safe and effective drug delivery systems with enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Nanocomposites are composed of different types of nanoparticles, polymers, and other materials that can be precisely engineered to achieve specific drug delivery goals. These materials are typically biocompatible and biodegradable, allowing for controlled release of drugs over an extended period of time. The synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites involve the preparation of the nanoparticles and their subsequent incorporation into the polymer matrix or other material. Different types of nanoparticles, such as magnetic nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and lipid-based nanoparticles, can be utilized depending on the intended application. Surface modification techniques can be employed to enhance the stability, biocompatibility, and specificity of the nanocomposites for targeted drug delivery. Characterization of nanocomposites is crucial to understanding their physicochemical properties, drug-loading capacity, and drug release kinetics. Techniques such as dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy can be used to characterize the nanocomposites. The use of nanocomposites for drug delivery applications has several advantages, including improved drug solubility, enhanced bioavailability, and reduced toxicity. Moreover, the development of stimuli-responsive nanocomposites that respond to changes in environmental factors such as pH, temperature, and magnetic field can further enhance drug delivery efficacy. The synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites for drug delivery applications represent a promising approach for the development of safe and effective drug delivery systems with enhanced therapeutic efficacy. However, further studies are needed to optimize the design of nanocomposites and to assess their toxicity and biocompatibility. Nanomaterial has promising application of all technology development. Nanomaterial has one or more dimension in the nanometer scale (100 nm) range and subsequently show novel properties from their bulk materials. Nanotechnology, led by the development of nanoparticles (NPs) -based drug delivery systems and imaging contrast agents, has had an important role in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the disease. The use of nanotechnology for cancer therapy and imaging is expected to overcome the limitations of conventional treatments, such as poor drug bioavailability, nonspecific systemic drug distribution, inadequate drug concentrations reaching the tumor and inability to monitor therapeutic responses in real time.
