Nanowires (NWs) have been used increasingly in practice due to their outstanding mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. In this paper, we use the molecular dynamics (MD) method to investigate the mechanical properties of NWs (Si/Ge, Ge/Si) with a core-shell structure under the axial tensile strain along the <100>/{100} direction. Our results show that the strength and elastic modulus of Ge/Si and Si/Ge NWs depend on the composition and size of the core/shell crosssection. The strength and strain of Ge/Si NW decrease with increasing the size of the core crosssection because of the lattice mismatch between two layers of core/shell materials. The elastic modulus of Ge/Si NWs increases with the increasing the size of the core cross-section, while the elastic modulus of the Si/Ge NW decreases. In addition, the theoretical strength and elastic modulus of Ge/Si NWs reduce with the growth of the temperature. Furthermore, we also investigate the effect of strain rate on the mechanical properties of the Ge/Si NWs. The obtained results of the study provide the intrinsic properties of the core-shell NWs and also help in the design and fabrication of electronic and optical devices based on the Ge/Si NWs.

Conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) in mitigating pollution of water bodies is of significant importance to public health due to the fact that Cr(VI) is known to be a potent carcinogen, while Cr(III) is relatively low in toxicity. Photocatalytic approaches are considered as important means to achieve this reduction. Here, TiO2/SnS2 core-shell nanostructures have been produced using a single-step hydrothermal method and its photocatalytic activity is tested for the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI). The structural and optical properties of the as-synthesized products are characterized by XRD, HRTEM, Raman, FTIR, XPS and DRS techniques. The present work reveals that by calcining the core-shell nanoparticles in Ar atmosphere a defective Ti3O5 phase is formed as the core with low band gap, and hence, offers improved light absorption in the visible range. However, its photoactivity was found to be lower than that of the core-shell nanoparticles annealed in oxidizing atmosphere. The observed lower photoreduction was due to the presence of midgap states which acted as recombination centres and hence, reduced the photocatalytic activity.

To achieve the seamless characteristics of displays, liquid crystal (LC) devices need a super-narrow bezel design. This device architecture can be constructed using functional adhesives that possess excellent physical and chemical properties. In this study, mechanically robust ultraviolet (UV)/heat dual-curable adhesives with outstanding reliability and processability have been fabricated using reactive poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) core-shell nanoparticles. Their curing characteristics, narrow drawing processability, adhesive strength, elongation at break, and the contact contamination of LCs have been investigated. Compared to conventional adhesive material, the proposed adhesive containing multifunctional PMMA/PEI nanoparticles afforded a high adhesion strength of 40.2 kgf cm−2 and a high elongation of 64.8% due to the formation of a firm crosslinked network with matrix resins comprising bisphenol A epoxy resin and bisphenol A glycerolate dimethacrylate. Moreover, the proposed adhesive showed an excellent narrow drawing width of 1.2 mm, which is a prerequisite for super-narrow bezel display. With regard to LC contamination, it was found that the level of contamination could be remarkably reduced to 61 µm by a high-temperature curing process. This study makes a significant contribution to the development of advanced display, because it provides robust and sustainable display adhesives based on nanomaterials, thereby enhancing the life and sustained operability of displays.

Core-shell materials are promising functional materials for fundamental research and industrial application, as their properties can be adapted for specific applications. In particular, particles featuring iron or iron oxide as core material are relevant since they combine magnetic and catalytic properties. The addition of an SiO2 shell around the core particles introduces additional design aspects, such as a pore structure and surface functionalization. Herein, we describe the synthesis and application of iron-based core-shell nanoparticles for two different fields of research that is heterogeneous catalysis and water purification. The iron-based core shell materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, as well as N2-physisorption, X-ray diffraction, and vibrating-sample magnetometer measurements in order to correlate their properties with the performance in the target applications. Investigations of these materials in CO2 hydrogenation and water purification show their versatility and applicability in different fields of research and application, after suitable individual functionalization of the core-shell precursor. For design and application of magnetically separable particles, the SiO2 shell is surface-functionalized with an ionic liquid in order to bind water pollutants selectively. The core requires no functionalization, as it provides suitable magnetic properties in the as-made state. For catalytic application in synthesis gas reactions, the SiO2-stabilized core nanoparticles are reductively functionalized to provide the catalytically active metallic iron sites. Therefore, Fe@SiO2 core-shell nanostructures are shown to provide platform materials for various fields of application, after a specific functionalization.

Synthesis Of Nanostructures

Among an array of hybrid nanoparticles, core-shell nanoparticles comprise of two or more materials, such as metals and biomolecules, wherein one of them forms the core at the center, while the other material/materials that were located around the central core develops a shell. Core-shell nanostructures are useful entities with high thermal and chemical stability, lower toxicity, greater solubility, and higher permeability to specific target cells. Plant or natural products-mediated synthesis of nanostructures refers to the use of plants or its extracts for the synthesis of nanostructures, an emerging field of sustainable nanotechnology. Various physiochemical and greener methods have been advanced for the synthesis of nanostructures, in contrast to conventional approaches that require the use of synthetic compounds for the assembly of nanostructures. Although several biological resources have been exploited for the synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles, but plant-based materials appear to be the ideal candidates for large-scale green synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles. This review summarizes the known strategies for the greener production of core-shell nanoparticles using plants extract or their derivatives and highlights their salient attributes, such as low costs, the lack of dependence on the use of any toxic materials, and the environmental friendliness for the sustainable assembly of stabile nanostructures.

AbstractFerromagnetic Resonance experiments are used to investigate the magnetic properties of monodisperse Co/CoO core-shell nanoparticles with diameters of about 10nm. From frequency- dependent measurements at various frequencies of 9-80 GHz the g-value is determined to be 2.13 which suggests an fcc bulk-like environment of the Co atoms within the core of the particles. This result yields a direct measure of the ratio of orbital to spin magnetic moment νL/νS=0.065. Moreover, from temperature-dependent measurements of the resonance field the anisotropy energy is extracted and found much lower than the hcp bulk value.

Fe 3 O 4– SiO 2 core–shell structure nanoparticles containing magnetic properties were investigated for their potential use in drug delivery. The Fe 3 O 4– SiO 2 core–shell structure nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a simple and convenient way. The Fe 3 O 4– SiO 2 nanoparticles showed superparamagnetic behavior, indicating a great application potential in separation technologies. From the application point of view, the prepared nanoparticles were found to act as an efficient drug carrier. Specifically, the surface of the core–shell nanoparticles was modified with amino groups by use of silane coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS). Doxorubicin (DOX) was successfully grafted to the surface of the core–shell nanoparticles after the decoration with the carboxyl acid groups on the surface of amino-modified core–shell structure nanoparticles. Moreover, the nanocomposite showed a good drug delivery performance in the DOX-loading efficiency and drug release experiments, confirming that the materials had a great application potential in drug delivery. It is envisioned that the prepared materials are the ideal agent for application in medical diagnosis and therapy.
