Core-shell magnesium hydroxide/polystyrene hybrid nanoparticles prepared by ultrasonic wave-assisted in-situ copolymerization

In this paper, vinylated magnesium hydroxide (MH) nanosheets were prepared with 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (γ-MPS) and pristine MH nanosheets, then the MH/polystyrene (PS) hybrid nanoparticles were prepared by ultrasonic wave-assisted in-situ copolymerization of vinylated MH nanosheets and styrene (St). The morphology, thermal stability and chemical structure of the final products were investigated in detail with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR). The TEM and FTIR results showed that the uniformly-dispersed core-shell structure of MH/PS nanocomposites with MH-cores and PS-shell was formed. TGA indicated that the covalent interaction between PS and MH improved the thermal stability of PS. A possible formation mechanism of the MH/PS core-shell nanocomposites was also proposed.     

Facile method to synthesise polystyrene/silver composite nanoparticles with core–shell structures

We report a facile method for the fabrication of polystyrene/silver composite nanoparticles with core–shell nanostructures. First, polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles with carboxyl acid groups on their surfaces were prepared via the dispersion polymerisation of styrene in water with the assistance of acrylic acid. Second, with the addition of [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺ to the PS dispersion, [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺ was absorbed onto the surfaces of the modified PS nanoparticles. Finally, the [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺ complex ions were reduced to Ag to form the PS/Ag nanocomposites upon heating. The resulting PS/Ag composite nanoparticles were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering.     

Preparing silver nanoparticles in supercritical water

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles were prepared using Ag microparticles as precursors in supercritical water (SCW). The effect of reaction time on preparing Ag nanoparticles was investigated. The obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. The results indicated that, with the increase of reaction time, Ag microparticles prepared by calcination method with the sizes > 2 μm remained after SCW treatment because of their high crystallinity, but those with the sizes < 1 μm were destroyed and formed many Ag nanoparticles due to the destructive effect of SCW.     

Synthesis and characterization of Ag/polyaniline core-shell nanocomposites based on silver nanoparticles colloid

A possible formation mechanism of the Ag/polyaniline core-shell nanocomposites was also proposed.     

Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles with both sensitive plasmonic properties and tunable magnetism

Monodisperse Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles with relatively uniform Fe cores and Ag shells have been successfully fabricated by a seed mediated method in a two-step reducing process, and then characterized by electron microscopy techniques (HRTEM, EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy,and magnetometry. The results demonstrate unique optical and magnetic properties for Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles. The surface plasmon resonance of Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles is red shifted as compared with that of pure colloidal nano-silver, while the plasmon band of Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles with thinner Ag shells is shifted to a longer wavelength. Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles have a narrow plasmon band and therefore sensitive plasmonic properties. The magnetism of Fe@Ag nanoparticles can be tuned from superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic by modifying the proportion between Fe and Ag contents. The multifunctional Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles have potential in optoelectronic, spintronic, and biomedicine applications.     

Preparation of polystyrene-encapsulated silver hollow spheres via self-assembly of latex particles at the emulsion droplet interface

In the present work, we have developed a novel route to wrap inorganic nanoparticles in polymer hollow spheres, which includes self-assembly polystyrene (PS) latex particles at the aqueous/oil interface, sintering and γ-ray radiation reduction. The Ag/PS composite microspheres were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The advantage of this method is that the PS shell thickness, permeability, the size of composite spheres, and the quantity of the encapsulated Ag nanoparticles can be easily adjusted, which gives the product a brilliant prospect in the field of catalysis.     

Facile synthesis of near-monodisperse Ag@Ni core-shell nanoparticles and their application for catalytic generation of hydrogen

Magnetically recyclable Ag-Ni core-shell nanoparticles have been fabricated via a simple one-pot synthetic route using oleylamine both as solvent and reducing agent and triphenylphosphine as a surfactant. As characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the as-synthesized Ag-Ni core-shell nanoparticles exhibit a very narrow size distribution with a typical size of 14.9 ± 1.2 nm and a tunable shell thickness. UV-vis absorption spectroscopy study shows that the formation of a Ni shell on Ag core can damp the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the Ag core and lead to a red-shifted SPR absorption peak. Magnetic measurement indicates that all the as-synthesized Ag-Ni core-shell nanoparticles are superparamagnetic at room temperature, and their blocking temperatures can be controlled by modulating the shell thickness. The as-synthesized Ag-Ni core-shell nanoparticles exhibit excellent catalytic properties for the generation of H(2) from dehydrogenation of sodium borohydride in aqueous solutions. The hydrogen generation rate of Ag-Ni core-shell nanoparticles is found to be much higher than that of Ag and Ni nanoparticles of a similar size, and the calculated activation energy for hydrogen generation is lower than that of many bimetallic catalysts. The strategy employed here can also be extended to other noble-magnetic metal systems.     

Formation of Ag nanoparticles within the thermosensitive hairy hybrid particles

Herein we report on the production of composite core-shell particles, which are actually self-assembly of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-based amphiphilic block copolymers as a template for metal-block copolymer nanocomposites formation. Organic-inorganic composites were prepared with Ag nanoparticles embedded within colloidal particles of an amphiphilic, thermally responsive polymer. To promote the incorporation of unaggregated Ag nanoparticles, temperature responsive microspheres of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (NIPAM) block with polystyrene were synthesized. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) could act as the linker between Ag ions (Ag nanoparticles) and poly (styrene-b-N-isopropylacrylamide) (PS-b-PNIPAM) colloids and the reducing agent in the formation of Ag nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements confirmed the nanostructures, ¹HNMR and FTIR characterized the components of the resulting nanoobjects. These stimuli-responsive hybrid microspheres will have potential applications in biomedical areas, such as tissue engineering and drug delivery.     

A method for synthesizing the core (Ag)/shell (PSt) composite nanoparticles

Core-shell composite materials have been widely used in many fields. In this paper, the core (Ag)-shell (PSt) composite nanoparticles have been successfully fabricated in microemulsions at ambient pressure. Firstly, Ag nanoparticles with about 60-100 nm in diameters were synthesized by reducing silver nitrate by ascorbic acid, and then, styrene polymerized at the surface of Ag nanoparticles by K₂S₂O₄ initiator in microemulsion solutions. The Ag/PSt core-shell composite nanoparticles were identified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectra (IR). Results show that Ag-core nanoparticles were coated with ultra thin PSt shell with thickness of about 3-6 nm.
