Surface Modifications and Applications of Magnetic and Selective Nonmagnetic Nanoparticles

“…Emulsion and self assembly are two commonly used strategies in the solution phase surface modification of nanoparticles [25][26][27][28] . Some other approaches include ozone treatment 29,30 , microwave assisted modification 31 , coprecipitation 32 and dry-mechanical coating technique 33 . For surface modification with oxides, sol-gel method is rather useful and the Stöber method is among the most widely used strategy that was originally developed for making silica layers 19, 34, 35 .…”

“…Silica nanoparticles can be modified with dye molecules using different types of water in oil microemulsions 122 . Besides direct ligand exchange and emulsion, microwave-assisted modification 31 , dry mechanical coating technique 33 , and ozone deposition are some other techniques that have been developed to facilitate the surface treatment 123-128 .…”

Synthesis of Scintillating Ce3+-Doped Lu2Si2O7 Nanoparticles Using the Salt-Supported High Temperature (SSHT) Method: Solid State Chemistry at the Nanoscale

“…The formation of simple binary nanoparticles such as SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and Fe 3 O 4 has essentially become a routine process, as many groups have developed numerous approaches for their synthesis. − This is not to say that for each system different synthetic variables do not still have to be optimized, but in general it is understood how one can obtain simple systems, such as CdTe, on the nanoscale with a desired nanoparticle size. , The situation becomes more complicated if one targets the synthesis of ternary nanoparticles; however, even here, many examples exist in the literature where in a single step ternary nanoparticles can be synthesized and their size controlled. , The synthesis of crystallographically ordered quaternary nanoparticles, however, remains a significant challenge due to the difficultly of combining multiple elements, achieving chemical reactivity between the elements, and still maintaining a product particle size at the nanoscale.…”
