A direct route to silica-polypyrrole core–shell nanoparticles has been used to design new nanocomposites, in which the conducting part is then wrapped by an external silica shell in order to have finally neutral nanoparticles. The nanocomposites are characterized by TEM, spectroscopy, electrochemistry and thermal gravimetric analysis, demonstrating that the external silica shell actually insulates the conjugated polymer from the outer medium. Finally the electrorheological properties of these nanocomposites are checked in a dielectrophoretic device in which the motion of the particles induced by an external electric field can be used to monitor a switch of the light transmission properties.

TiO2-g-Polystyrene(PS) nano-microspheres were prepared by grafted styrene monomer on the surface of nano-TiO2 particles via emulsion polymerization, and its surface and morphology were studied by Transmission electron microscopes(TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA). The results showed that the TiO2-g-PS nano-microsphere had a structure of sphericity composed of TiO2 and PS as core and shell respectively. The core-shell nanoparticles were subsequently used as filler in a PS matrix, and the impact strength of the TiO2-g-PS/PS composites were studied. The results showed that the impact strength of the composite material could be improved obviously, the maximum value of impacted strength of the TiO2-g-PS/PS was 1.75kJ/m2, which was 180% higher than that of pure PS. Drawing from the results, it could be confirmed that these core-shell TiO2-g-PS nanosphere fillers could toughen the PS matrix.

A shell of SiO2 with tunable thickness was uniformly coated on NaGd(WO4)2:Yb3+/Er3+ core upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). The effects of the silica shell on UC luminescence and thermal sensing properties of the core–shell UCNPs were investigated.

Polypyrrole/chitosan (PPC) spherical dark nanoparticles surrounded by shadow spheres were fabricated through in situ oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in presence of chitosan (CS) using ferric chloride (FeCl3) as oxidant and evaluated as a carrier for some amino-quinazolinone derivatives (I–IV). The loading of amino-quinazolinone derivatives (I–IV) into the core–shell nanoparticles were investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Quinazolinone derivatives (I–IV) loaded nanoparticles showed inter-connected sphere in necklace-like morphology, rods or filaments depending on the functional groups in quinazolinone derivatives. The release of quinazolinone derivatives from PPC nanoparticles was pH sensitive. The antimicrobial activity of loaded PPC nanoparticles against gram positive and gram negative bacteria was higher than CS and PPC nanoparticles. The results revealed that new generation of nanoparticles loaded with quinazolinone represent a potential platform to target breast cancer cell line (MCF7), Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells and liver cancer cells (HEPG2) in comparison with PPC and quinazolinone derivatives.
