AbstractNano-sized metal particles are attracting much interest in industrial and biomedical applications due to the recent progress and development of nanotechnology, and the surface-modifications by appropriate polymers are key techniques to stably express their characteristics. Herein, we applied cyclic poly(ethylene glycol) (c-PEG), having no chemical inhomogeneity, to provide a polymer topology-dependent stabilization for the surface-modification of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) through physisorption. By simply mixing c-PEG, but not linear counterparts, enables AuNPs to maintain dispersibility through freezing, lyophilization, or heating. Surprisingly, c-PEG endowed AuNPs with even better dispersion stability than thiolated PEG (HS–PEG–OMe). The stronger affinity of c-PEG was confirmed by DLS, ζ-potential, and FT-IR. Furthermore, the c-PEG system exhibited prolonged blood circulation and enhanced tumor accumulation in mice. Our data suggests that c-PEG induces physisorption on AuNPs, supplying sufficient stability toward bio-medical applications, and would be an alternative approach to the gold–sulfur chemisorption.

Abstract Graphene is a promising material as a lubricant additive for reducing friction and wear. Here, a dispersing method which combines chemical modification of graphene by octadecylamine and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide with a kind of effective dispersant has been successfully developed to achieve the remarkable dispersion stability of graphene in base oil. The stable dispersion time of modified graphene (0.5 wt%) with dispersant (1 wt%) in PAO-6 could be up to about 120 days, which was the longest time reported so far. At the same time, the lubricant exhibits a significant improvement of tribological performance for a steel ball to plate tribo-system with a normal load of 2 N. The coefficient of friction between sliding surfaces was ~0.10 and the depth of wear track on plate was ~21 nm, which decreased by about 44% and 90% when compared to pure PAO-6, respectively. Furthermore, the analysis of the lubricating mechanisms in regard to the sliding-induced formation of nanostructured tribo-film has been contacted by using Raman spectra and TEM.

In this study we describe a two-step synthesis method for the preparation of gold nanoparticles supported on tin modified silica. The key step of the preparation procedure is the formation of surface grafted organotin complexes. The reduction of these surface species in a hydrogen atmosphere resulted in both metallic (Sno) and ionic (Sn2+) forms of tin. These forms of tin are capable to reduce gold from chloroauric acid solution forming gold nanoparticles with high dispersion on the surface of silica. It has been found that the particle size of gold strongly depends on the pH value of the gold solution and the presence or absence of ammonia.

In this study, the dynamic range and dispersion stability of a shear-type magnetorheological (MR) grease damper were experimentally investigated as important characteristics affecting the performance of semi-active vibration suppression. Furthermore, the damper was applied to the semi-active vibration suppression of a small single-degree-of-freedom model structure subjected to seismic excitation. The performance test results of the damper indicated that it has a dynamic range of 157 times, which is much higher than that of conventional MR dampers. Also, because of the high dispersion stability of MR grease, the results showed that its performance can be kept for 9 days longer in comparison with a similar damper using MR fluid. Moreover, the structural vibration suppression test results demonstrated that the damper can suppress vibration response over a wide frequency range by applying skyhook-based control, which can take full advantage of the damper’s high dynamic range.
