Abstract
The potential for barium sulphate nanoparticles to be used in a variety of important fields has sparked a lot of attention. Methods for obtaining this material by milling (top-down approach) are not very popular due to the difficulty of controlling the size and shape of particles, as well as changes in their physicochemical properties during milling. More promising is the bottom-up approach, which is the interaction of Ba2+ and SO42− ions in a liquid environment. Direct precipitation is the simplest method; however, it does not allow control of the particle size. Microemulsions, microreactors membrane dispersion, as well as spinning disc reactors are used to overcome drawbacks of direct precipitation and allow control of particle size and shape. This is ensured mainly by intensive controlled micromixing of the precursors with concentrations close to saturated ones. The present review focuses on recent advances in the production of barium sulfate nanoparticles using various approaches, as well as their advantages and limitations. The issues of scaling up the techniques are also considered, and promising methods for obtaining BaSO4 nanoparticles are also discussed.

Abstract
Self-assembled water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsions have been reported as a suitable route for synthesis of size-controlled nanoparticles. However, the mechanism of formation of nanoparticles in microemulsions is still not completely understood. In this work, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were synthesized via the W/O microemulsion route. As the molar ratio of water and dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate (AOT) (R) increased from 2.5 to 5.0 to 7.5, the corresponding water drop diameter increased from 2.7 to 5.0 to 7.3 nm. In parallel, the mean hydrodynamic diameter of GNPs increased from 6.5 to 11.3 to 15.6 nm for corresponding R values of 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5. Therefore, although there is a monotonically increasing trend of the mean diameter of GNPs with the initial drop diameter, for all values of R, the mean diameter of GNPs was significantly higher than the initial drop diameter. Consequently, previously known simulation vastly underpredicts the experimental GNP diameter. However, only on redefining the particle-particle coagulation event (during coalescence of microemulsion drops containing particles) does the current kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulation agree well with the experimental results. In addition, we also find that the coagulation efficiency of solid nanoparticles (βp) increases with R, and βp is lesser than the coalescence efficiency of liquid drops (βd) over the range of R values concerned. Hence, a combined simulation and experimental study enumerates the dynamics of size evolution of nanoparticles and the events involved in their formation in a W/O microemulsion system.

Abstract
Interfacial properties including permeation, catalytic efficiency, Raman signal enhancement capabilities, and cell spreading efficiencies are important features that determine material functionality and applications. Here, we propose a facile method to adjust the above-mentioned properties by controlling the cross-linking degrees of multilayer using a photoactive molecule. After treating the cross-linked films in basic solutions, films with different cross-linking degrees presented varying residue thicknesses and film morphologies. As a result, these different films possessed distinct molecular loading and release characteristics. In addition, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of different morphological traits were generated by redox reactions coupled with diffusion within these films. The AuNP-polyelectrolyte obtained from the polyelectrolyte films of the medium cross-linking degrees displayed the highest catalytic efficiency and signal enhancement capabilities. Furthermore, cells responded to the variation of film cross-linking degrees, and on the films with the highest cross-linking degree, cells adhered with the highest speed. We expect this report to provide a general interfacial material engineering strategy for material designs.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles have been increasingly investigated for numerous applications in medicine, sensing, and catalysis. In particular, gold nanoparticles have been investigated for separations, sensing, drug/nucleic acid delivery, and bioimaging. In addition, silver nanoparticles demonstrate antibacterial activity, resulting in potential application in treatments against microbial infections, burns, diabetic skin ulcers, and medical devices. Here, we describe the facile, parallel synthesis of both gold and silver nanoparticles using a small set of poly(amino ethers), or PAEs, derived from linear polyamines, under ambient conditions and in absence of additional reagents. The kinetics of nanoparticle formation were dependent on PAE concentration and chemical composition. In addition, yields were significantly greater in case of PAEs when compared to 25 kDa poly(ethylene imine), which was used as a standard catonic polymer. Ultraviolet radiation enhanced the kinetics and the yield of both gold and silver nanoparticles, likely by means of a coreduction effect. PAE-templated gold nanoparticles demonstrated the ability to deliver plasmid DNA, resulting in transgene expression, in 22Rv1 human prostate cancer and MB49 murine bladder cancer cell lines. Taken together, our results indicate that chemically diverse poly(amino ethers) can be employed for rapidly templating the formation of metal nanoparticles under ambient conditions. The simplicity of synthesis and chemical diversity make PAE-templated nanoparticles useful tools for several applications in biotechnology, including nucleic acid delivery.

Abstract
The past two decades have seen a dramatic raise in the number of investigations leading to the development of Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) devices for synthesis of nanomaterials. A majority of these investigations were focused on inorganic nanomaterials comprising of metals, metal oxides, nanocomposites and quantum dots. Herein, we provide an analysis of these findings, especially, considering the more recent developments in this new decade. We made an attempt to bring out the differences between chip-based as well as tubular continuous flow systems. We also cover, for the first time, various opportunities the tools from the field of computational fluid dynamics provide in designing LOC systems for synthesis inorganic nanomaterials. Particularly, we provide unique examples to demonstrate that there is a need for concerted effort to utilize LOC devices not only for synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials but also for carrying out superior in vitro studies thereby, paving the way for faster clinical translation. Even though LOC devices with the possibility to carry out multi-step syntheses have been designed, surprisingly, such systems have not been utilized for carrying out simultaneous synthesis and bio-functionalization of nanomaterials. While traditionally, LOC devices are primarily based on microfluidic systems, in this review article, we make a case for utilizing millifluidic systems for more efficient synthesis, bio-functionalization and in vitro studies of inorganic nanomaterials tailor-made for biomedical applications. Finally, recent advances in the field clearly point out the possibility for pushing the boundaries of current medical practices towards personalized health care with a vision to develop automated LOC-based instrumentation for carrying out simultaneous synthesis, bio-functionalization and in vitro evaluation of inorganic nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Brust-Schiffrin synthesis (BSS) of metal nanoparticles has emerged as a major breakthrough in the field for its ability to produce highly stable thiol functionalized nanoparticles. In this work, we use a detailed population balance model to conclude that particle formation in BSS is controlled by a new synthesis route: continuous nucleation, growth, and capping of particles throughout the synthesis process. The new mechanism, quite different from the others known in the literature (classical LaMer mechanism, sequential nucleation-growth-capping, and thermodynamic mechanism), successfully explains key features of BSS, including size tuning by varying the amount of capping agent instead of the widely used approach of varying the amount of reducing agent. The new mechanism captures a large body of experimental observations quantitatively, including size tuning and only a marginal effect of the parameters otherwise known to affect particle synthesis sensitively. The new mechanism predicts that, in a constant synthesis environment, continuous nucleation-growth-capping mechanism leads to complete capping of particles (no more growth) at the same size, while the new ones are born continuously, in principle leading to synthesis of more monodisperse particles. This prediction is validated through new experimental measurements.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) assisted seed mediated growth of highly pure and monodispersed quasispherical gold nanoparticles (QAuNPs) and their self-assembly on the silica/glass substrates. The seed-mediated growth approach was modified to prepare size-tunable monodispersed QAuNPs with sizes ranging from 20 to 150 nm. The larger, more uniform seeds and lower CTAB concentration resulted in the formation of relatively large QAuNPs with improved monodispersity (relative standard deviation (RSD) of ∼5-8%) and high purity in their shapes. In addition, CATB-capped QAuNPs can be spontaneously assembled into closely packed and highly aligned superstructures with well-defined mutillayers (two to six layers) on silica substrates. Furthermore, CATB-capped QAuNPs can easily construct density-controllable QAuNP chips by electrostatic self-assembly, showing their promising applications for single-nanoparticle plasmonic sensors.
