Abstract
We report the controlled synthesis of iron oxide microcubes (IOMCs) through the self-assembly arrays of ferric oxide hydroxide nanorods (NRs). The formation of IOMCs involves a complex interplay of nucleation, self-assembly, and growth mechanisms influenced by time, thermal treatment, and surfactant dynamics. The self-assembly of vertically aligned NRs into IOMCs is controlled by dynamic magnetism properties and capping agents like cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), whose concentration and temperature modulation dictate growth kinetics and structural uniformity. These controlled structural growths were obtained via a hydrothermal process at 120 °C at various intervals of 8, 16, 24, and 32 h in the presence of CTAB as the capping agent. In this hydrothermal method, the formation of vertically oriented NR arrays was observed without the presence of ligands, binders, harsh drying techniques, and solvent evaporation. The formation of the self-assembly of NRs to IOMCs is obtained with an increase in saturated magnetization to attain the most stable state. The synthesized IOMCs have a uniform size, quasi-shape, and excellent dispersion. Due to its excellent magnetic and catalytic properties, IOMCs were employed to remove the various emerging pollutants known as per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS). Various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques were employed for the characterization and interaction studies of IOMCs with various PFAS. The interaction between IOMCs and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) was investigated, revealing strong adsorption tendencies facilitated by electrostatic interactions, as evidenced by UV-vis and FT-IR spectroscopic studies. Furthermore, the higher magnetic and positive surface charge of IOMCs is responsible for an effective remediation eliminating any secondary pollution with ease of recovery after the sorption interaction studies, thereby making it practically worthwhile.

Abstract
A Ga3+-substituted spinel magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) with the formula Ga0.9Fe2.1O4 were synthesized using both the one-pot solvothermal decomposition method (TD) and the microwave-assisted heating method (MW). Stable colloidal solutions were obtained by using triethylene glycol, which served as a NPs stabilizer and as a reaction medium in both methods. A narrow size distribution of NPs, below 10 nm, was achieved through selected nucleation and growth. The composition, structure, morphology, and magnetic properties of the NPs were investigated using FTIR spectroscopy, thermal analysis (TA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and magnetic measurements. NPs with the expected spinel structure were obtained in the case of the TD method, while the MW method produced, additionally, an important amount of gallium suboxide. The NPs, especially those prepared by TD, have superparamagnetic behavior with 2.02 μB/f.u. at 300 K and 3.06 μB/f.u. at 4.2 K. For the MW sample these values are 0.5 μB/f.u. and 0.6 μB/f.u. at 300 K and 4.2 K, respectively. The MW prepared sample contains a secondary phase and very small NPs which affects both the dimensional distribution and the magnetic behavior of NPs. The NPs were tested in vitro on amniotic mesenchymal stem cells. It was shown that the cellular metabolism is active in the presence of Ga0.9Fe2.1O4 NPs and preserves an active biocompatible cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Semiconducting nanomaterials based heterogeneous photocatalysis represent a low-cost, versatile technique for environmental remediation, including pollution mitigation, energy management and other environmental aspects. Herein, we demonstrate the syntheses of various heterogeneous photocatalysts based on highly reduced graphene oxide (HRG) and vanadium oxide (VOx)-based nanocomposites (HRG-VOx). Different shapes (rod, sheet and urchin forms) of VOx nanoparticles were successfully fabricated on the surface of HRG under solvo-/hydrothermal conditions by varying the amount of water and ethanol. The high concentration of water in the mixture resulted in the formation of rod-shaped VOx nanoparticles, whereas increasing the amount of ethanol led to the production of VOx sheets. The solvothermal condition using pure ethanol as solvent produced VOx nano-urchins on the surface of HRG. The as-prepared hybrid materials were characterized using various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, including X-ray diffraction, UV-vis, FTIR, SEM and TEM analyses. The photocatalytic activities of different HRG-VOx nanocomposites were investigated for the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO). The experimental data revealed that all HRG-VOx composite-based photocatalysts demonstrated excellent performance toward the photocatalytic degradation of the organic dyes. Among all photocatalysts studied, the HRG-VOx nanocomposite consisting of urchin-shaped VOx nanoparticles (HRG-VOx-U) demonstrated superior photocatalytic properties towards the degradation of dyes.

Abstract
Zinc oxide is an extensively studied semiconductor with a wide band gap in the near-UV. Its many interesting properties have found use in optics, electronics, catalysis, sensing, as well as biomedicine and microbiology. In the nanoscale regime the functional properties of ZnO can be precisely tuned by manipulating its size, shape, chemical composition (doping), and surface states. In this review, we focus on the colloidal synthesis of ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) and provide a critical analysis of the synthetic methods currently available for preparing ZnO colloids. First, we outline key thermodynamic considerations for the nucleation and growth of colloidal nanoparticles, including an analysis of different reaction methodologies and of the role of dopant ions on nanoparticle formation. We then comprehensively review and discuss the literature on ZnO NC systems, including reactions in polar solvents that traditionally occur at low temperatures upon addition of a base, and high temperature reactions in organic, nonpolar solvents. A specific section is dedicated to doped NCs, highlighting both synthetic aspects and structure-property relationships. The versatility of these methods to achieve morphological and compositional control in ZnO is explicated. We then showcase some of the key applications of ZnO NCs, both as suspended colloids and as deposited coatings on supporting substrates. Finally, a critical analysis of the current state of the art for ZnO colloidal NCs is presented along with existing challenges and future directions for the field.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide, or titania, is perhaps the most well-known and widely studied photocatalytic material, with myriad applications, due to a high degree of tunability achievable through the incorporation of dopants and control of phase composition and particle size. Many of the applications of titanium dioxide require particular forms, such as gels, coatings, or thin films, making the development of hybrid solution processable nanoparticles increasingly attractive. Here we report a simple solvothermal route to highly dispersible anatase phase titanium dioxide hybrid nanoparticles from amorphous titania. Solvothermal treatment of the amorphous titania in trifluoroacetic acid leads to the formation of anatase phase nanoparticles with a high degree of size control and near complete surface functionalisation. This renders the particles highly dispersible in simple organic solvents such as acetone. Dopant ions may be readily incorporated into the amorphous precursor by co-precipitation, with no adverse effect on subsequent crystallisation and surface modification.

Abstract
Due to the increased attention given to actinide nanomaterials, the question of their structure-property relationship is on the spotlight of recent publications. Plutonium oxide (PuO2) particularly plays a central role in nuclear energetics and a comprehensive knowledge about its properties when nanosizing is of paramount interest to understand its behaviour in environmental migration schemes but also for the development of advanced nuclear energy systems underway. The element plutonium further stimulates the curiosity of scientists due to the unique physical and chemical properties it exhibits around the periodic table. PuO2 crystallizes in the fluorite structure of the face-centered cubic system for which the properties can be significantly affected when shrinking. Identifying the formation mechanism of PuO2 nanoparticles, their related atomic, electronic and crystalline structures, and their reactivity in addition to their nanoscale properties, appears to be a fascinating and challenging ongoing topic, whose recent advances are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Fruits and vegetables are an integral part of our diet attributed to their appealing taste, flavor, and health-promoting characteristics. However, due to their high-water activity, they are susceptible to microbial spoilage and diseases at any step in the food supply chain, from pre-harvest treatment to post-harvest storage and transportation. As a result, food researchers and engineers are developing innovative technologies that can be used to reduce the loss of fruits and vegetables on-farm and during postharvest processing. The purpose of this study was to gather and discuss the scientific data on the disease-suppressive activity of nanoparticles against plant pathogens. The progress and limitations of innovative approaches for improving nanoparticles' efficiency and dependability have been studied to develop effective substitutes for synthetic chemical fungicides and pesticides, in managing disease in fruits and vegetables. The findings of this study strongly suggests that nanotechnology has the required ability for disease suppression in fruits and vegetables. Applications of specific nanoparticles under specified conditions can enhance nutrition delivery to plants, provide better antibacterial and disease suppression activity. Nanoparticles can also lessen the quantity of agrichemicals/metals released into the environment as compared to standard formulations, which is one of the most impressive advances.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) with unique structures and compositions can give rise to exotic physicochemical properties and applications. Despite the advancement in solution-based methods, scalable access to a wide range of crystal phases and intricate compositions is still challenging. Solid-state reaction (SSR) syntheses have high potential owing to their flexibility toward multielemental phases under feasibly high temperatures and solvent-free conditions as well as their scalability and simplicity. Controlling the nanoscale features through SSRs demands a strategic nanospace-confinement approach due to the risk of heat-induced reshaping and sintering. Here, we describe advanced SSR strategies for NM synthesis, focusing on mechanistic insights, novel nanoscale phenomena, and underlying principles using a series of examples under different categories. After introducing the history of classical SSRs, key theories, and definitions central to the topic, we categorize various modern SSR strategies based on the surrounding solid-state media used for nanostructure growth, conversion, and migration under nanospace or dimensional confinement. This comprehensive review will advance the quest for new materials design, synthesis, and applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) are the leading edge as an amazing class of materials that consists of at least one dimension in the range of 1–100 nm. NMs can be made with exceptional magnetic, electrical, and catalytic properties different from their bulk counterparts. We summarized unique features of NMs, their synthesis, and advances in agri-nanotechnology and cutting-edge nanobionics. The review describes advances in NMs including their applications, dosimetry to ensure biosafety, remote sensing of agro-forestry fields, nanofertilizers, and nanopesticides, and avoid post-harvest losses, gene delivery, and nanobionics. Tree nanobionics has enabled the synthesis and delivery of nanosensors, which enhance the rate of photosynthesis, detection of pathogens, and poisonous residues to ensure biosafety and biomass accumulation. Finally, we conclude by discussing challenges, future perspectives, and agro-ecological risks of using NMs.

Abstract
Nanoparticle corona phases, especially those surrounding anisotropic particles, are central to determining their catalytic, molecular recognition, and interfacial properties. It remains a longstanding challenge to chemically synthesize and control such phases at the nanoparticle surface. In this work, the supramolecular chemistry of rosette nanotubes (RNTs), well-defined hierarchically self-assembled nanostructures formed from heteroaromatic bicyclic bases, is used to create molecularly precise and continuous corona phases on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). These RNT-SWCNT (RS) complexes exhibit the lowest solvent-exposed surface area (147.8 ± 60 m-1 ) measured to date due to its regular structure. Through Raman spectroscopy, molecular-scale control of the free volume is also observed between the two annular structures and the effects of confined water. SWCNT photoluminescence (PL) within the RNT is also modulated considerably as a function of their diameter and chirality, especially for the (11, 1) species, where a PL increase compared to other species can be attributed to their chiral angle and the RNT's inward facing electron densities. In summary, RNT chemistry is extended to the problem of chemically defining both the exterior and interior corona interfaces of an encapsulated particle, thereby opening the door to precision control of core-shell nanoparticle interfaces.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles have been extensively investigated for different types of pharmaceutical applications. However, their use has raised some concerns about their toxicity involving the increase of reactive oxygen species causing cellular apoptosis. Therefore, in this review we summarize the most relevant toxicity mechanisms of gold, silver, copper and copper oxide nanoparticles as well as production methods of metal nanoparticles. Parameters involved in their toxicity such as size, surface charge and concentration are also highlighted. Moreover, a critical revision of the literature about the strategies used to reduce the toxicity of this type of nanoparticles is carried out throughout the review. Additionally, surface modifications using different coating strategies, nanoparticles targeting and morphology modifications are deeply explained.

Abstract
Abstract
Synthesis conditions and processing parameters profoundly affect the growth and morphology of nanostructures. In particular, when nanostructures are fabricated through a chemical technique such as hydrothermal, the process parameters such as reaction time, temperature, precursor concentration, and substrate orientation play a crucial role in determining the structure-property relationships. In this work, we report the hydrothermal growth of Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures as a function of these parameters and show that specific morphologies can be obtained by a variation of these parameters. A systematic study is carried out to understand the influence of reaction time (from 0.5 h to 3.0 h), reaction temperature (180 °C–200 °C), titanium precursor concentration (0.25 ml and 0.50 ml in 20 ml solution of HCl and deionized water) and substrate orientation (horizontal and tilted at an angle), and we show that significant variation in morphology- from nanowires to nanorods and then dandelions can be achieved. In particular, we demonstrate that high surface area multidirectional growth of nanorods leading to flower-like nanostructures or dandelions resulting from precipitation during the hydrothermal process. This is in contrast with previous reports on similar structures, where the role of precipitations was not analyzed. The work shows a possibility to control such growth by manipulating substrate position inside the autoclave during the hydrothermal process and will be useful for surface-dependent applications.

Abstract
The nanoscale structure of a complex fluid can play a major role in the selective adsorption of ions at the nanometric interfaces, which is crucial in industrial and technological applications. Here we study the effect of anions and lanthanide ions on the nanoscale structure of a complex fluid formed by metal-amphiphile complexes, using small angle X-ray scattering. The nano- and mesoscale structures we observed can be directly connected to the preferential transfer of light (La and Nd) or heavy (Er and Lu) lanthanides into the complex fluid from an aqueous solution. While toluene-based complex fluids containing trioctylmethylammonium-nitrate (TOMA-nitrate) always show the same mesoscale hierarchical structure regardless of lanthanide loading and prefer light lanthanides, those containing TOMA-thiocyanate show an evolution of the mesoscale structure as a function of the lanthanide loading and prefer heavy lanthanides. The hierarchical structure indicates the presence of attractive interactions between ion-amphiphile aggregates, causing them to form clusters. A clustering model that accounts for the hard sphere repulsions and short-range attractions between the aggregates has been adapted to model the X-ray scattering results. The new model successfully describes the nanoscale structure and helps in understanding the mechanisms responsible for amphiphile assisted ion transport between immiscible liquids. Accordingly, our results imply different mechanisms of lanthanide transport depending on the anion present in the complex fluid and correspond with anion-dependent trends in rare earth separations.

Abstract
Gas diffusion electrocrystallization (GDEx) was explored for the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). A gas-diffusion cathode was employed to reduce oxygen, producing hydroxyl ions (OH-) and oxidants (H2O2 and HO2 -), which acted as reactive intermediates for the formation of stable IONPs. The IONPs were mainly composed of pure magnetite. However, their composition strongly depended on the presence of a weak acid, i.e., ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), and on the applied electrode potential. Pure magnetite was obtained due to the simultaneous action of H2O2 and the buffer capacity of the added NH4Cl. Magnetite and goethite were identified as products under different operating conditions. The presence of NH4Cl facilitated an acid-base reaction and, in some cases, led to cathodic deprotonation, forming a surplus of hydrogen peroxide, while adding the weak acid promoted gradual changes in the pH by slightly enhancing H2O2 production when increasing the applied potential. This also resulted in smaller average crystallite sizes as follows: 20.3 ± 0.6 at -0.350 V, 14.7 ± 2.1 at -0.550 and 12.0 ± 2.0 at -0.750 V. GDEx is also demonstrated to be a green, effective, and efficient cathodic process to recover soluble iron to IONPs, being capable of removing >99% of the iron initially present in the solution.

Abstract
Accurate prediction of the structures, stabilities, and electronic structures of hybrid inorganic/organic systems is an essential prerequisite for tuning their electronic properties and functions. Herein, the interface chemistry between the 4-aminothiophenol (4ATP) molecule and the (001), (101), and (110) surfaces of zinc phosphide (Zn3P2) has been investigated by means of first-principles density functional theory calculation with a correction for van der Waals interactions. In particular, the atomic-level insights into the fundamental aspects of the 4ATP adsorption, including the lowest-energy adsorption configurations, binding energetics, structural parameters, and electronic properties are presented and discussed. The 4ATP molecule is demonstrated to bind most strongly onto the least stable Zn3P2(001) surface (E ads = -1.91 eV) and least strongly onto the most stable Zn3P2(101) surface (E ads = -1.21 eV). Partial density of states analysis shows that the adsorption of 4ATP on the Zn3P2 surfaces is characterized by strong hybridization between the molecule's sulfur and nitrogen p-orbitals and the d-orbitals of the interacting surface Zn ions, which gave rise to electron density accumulation around the centers of the newly formed Zn-S and Zn-N chemical bonds. The thermodynamic crystal morphology of the nonfunctionalized and 4ATP-functionalized Zn3P2 nanoparticles was obtained using Wulff construction based on the calculated surface energies. The stronger binding of the 4ATP molecule onto the less stable (001) and (110) surfaces in preference to the most stable (101) facet resulted in the modulation of the Zn3P2 nanocrystal shape, with the reactive (001) and (110) surfaces becoming more pronounced in the equilibrium morphology.

Abstract
In this work, the structuring of iron oxide nanoparticles via spray-drying (SD) of aqueous suspensions is investigated, leading to micrometer-sized aggregates with saturation magnetization comparable to that of the individual nanoparticles. Interestingly, the superparamagnetic behavior is retained despite the multicore structure. Modification of the aggregates via the addition of silica nanoparticles to the suspension allows for control of the resulting magnetization by adjusting the iron oxide content. Moreover, the morphology of the produced aggregates is gradually shifted from irregular inflated-like shapes in case of pure iron oxide aggregates to reach spherical structures when bringing the silica content to only 20%. The aggregates with different magnetization can be effectively separated in a simple column with an attached permanent magnet. Functionalization of pure iron oxide aggregates with a previously coupled ligand holding a nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)-like moiety and subsequent loading with Ni2+ ions leads to the ability to bind 6-histidine (His6)-tagged target proteins via chelation complexes for magnetic separation. The application of the presented system for the purification of recombinant protein A in multiple cycles is shown. The recyclability of the separation system in combination with the high degree of magnetic separation is promising for future applications in the field of preparative in situ protein purification.

Abstract
Calcium silicate (CS)-based materials are ubiquitous in diverse industries ranging from cementitious materials to bone tissue engineering and drug delivery. As a symbolic example, concrete is the most widely used synthetic material on the planet. This large consumption entails significant negative environmental footprint, which calls for innovative strategies to develop greener concrete with improved properties (to do more with less). Herein, we focus on the physicochemical properties of novel spherical calcium silicate particles with an extremely narrow size distribution and report their promising potential as fundamental building blocks. We demonstrate a scalable size- and shape-controlled synthesis protocol to yield highly spherical CS submicron particles, leading to favorable aggregation mechanisms and thus self-assembly of the bulk ensemble. This optimized kinetics-controlled synthesis is governed by suitable stoichiometric ratio of calcium over silicon, type and concentration of the surfactant, and molar ratio of the alkaline solution. Our extensive nano/micro/macro-characterization results show that the bulk ensemble exhibits many superior properties, such as improved strength, toughness, ductility, and durability, paving the path for bottom-up science-based engineering of concrete.

Abstract
A general mathematical kinetic growth model is proposed on the basis of observed growth regimes of hydrothermally synthesized KTaO3 nanoparticles from electron microscopy studies on the surface morphology and surface chemistry. Secondary electron imaging demonstrated that there are two dominant growth mechanisms: terrace nucleation, where the surfaces are rough, and terrace growth, where surfaces are smooth. In the proposed model based upon standard step-flow growth, the rates of both mechanisms are established to be dependent on the chemical potential change of the growth environment-terrace nucleation dominates with larger negative chemical potential, and terrace growth dominates with smaller negative chemical potential. This analysis illustrates the importance of ending a synthesis in a regime of low negative chemical potential in order to achieve smooth well-faceted nanoparticles.

Abstract
After about three decades of development, the polyol process is now widely recognized and practised as a unique soft chemical method for the preparation of a large variety of nanoparticles which can be used in important technological fields. It offers many advantages: low cost, ease of use and, very importantly, already proven scalability for industrial applications. Among the different classes of inorganic nanoparticles which can be prepared in liquid polyols, metals were the first reported. This review aims to give a comprehensive account of the strategies used to prepare monometallic nanoparticles and multimetallic materials with tailored size and shape. As regards monometallic materials, while the preparation of noble as well as ferromagnetic metals is now clearly established, the scope of the polyol process has been extended to the preparation of more electropositive metals, such as post-transition metals and semi-metals. The potential of this method is also clearly displayed for the preparation of alloys, intermetallics and core-shell nanostructures with a very large diversity of compositions and architectures.

Abstract
This 2007 Chemistry Nobel prize update covers scientific advances of the past decade in our understanding of electrocatalytic processes on surfaces of nanoscale shape-controlled polyhedral solids. It is argued that the field of chemical reaction processes on solid surfaces has recently been paying increasing attention to the fundamental understanding of electrified solid-liquid interfaces and toward the operando study of the minute fraction of catalytically active, structurally dynamic non-equilibrium Taylor-type surface sites. Meanwhile, despite mounting evidence of acting as structural proxies in some cases, the concept of catalytic structure sensitivity of well-defined nanoscale solid surfaces continues to be a key organizing principle for the science of shape-controlled nanocrystals and, hence, constitutes a central recurring theme in this review. After addressing key aspects and recent progress in the wet-chemical synthesis of shaped nanocatalysts, three areas of electrocatalytic processes on solid shape-controlled nanocrystals of current scientific priority are discussed in more detail: the oxygen electroreduction on shape-controlled Pt-Ni polyhedra with its technological relevance for low temperature fuel cells, the CO2 electroreduction to hydrocarbons on Cu polyhedra and the puzzling interplay between chemical and structural effects, and the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction from water on shaped transition metal oxides. The review closes with the conclusion that Surface Science and thermal catalysis, honored by Ertl's Nobel prize a decade ago, continue to show major repercussions on the emerging field of Interface Science.

Abstract
In this work we have developed an infiltration methodology to incorporate metal nanoparticles (NPs) of controlled size and shape into the open voids available in oblique angle deposited thin films. These NPs exhibited well-defined surface plasmon resonances (SPRs). The nanometric confined space provided by their porous microstructure has been used as a template for the growth of anisotropic NPs with interesting SPR properties. The fabrication methodology has been applied for the preparation of films with embedded Ag and Au NPs with two associated plasmon resonance features that developed a dichroic behaviour when examined with linearly polarized light. A confined alloying process was induced by near IR nanosecond laser irradiation yielding bimetallic NPs with SPR features covering a large zone of the electromagnetic spectrum. The possibilities of the method for the tailored fabrication of a wide range colour palette based on SPR features are highlighted.

Abstract
Aqueous-based synthesis is one of the most popular methods to prepare nanoparticles. In these procedures, surfactants are needed to regulate the growth and final particle size. While there are numerous evidence on the decisive role of surfactants, a quantitative description remains elusive. This study develops a theoretical model to correlate the surfactant activities to particle growth. In the model, the "penetrability" of ions within surfactant layer is used to combine surface reaction and adsorption/desorption processes. The penetrability was then directly correlated to surfactant size. The theory was verified by synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles with series of cationic surfactants. Eight surfactants, with same headgroup and increasing hydrocarbon tail, were employed. The experimental data showed a deterministic correlation between surfactant tails and particle size. The experimental correlation between surfactant length and particle size was predicted by the model. The modeling results verify the role of surfactant as capping agent during particle growth. More importantly, it provides a theoretical framework to control particle size in wet synthesis.

Abstract
Here, we report the size- and shape-controlled synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles through the introduction of rare-earth metals. The addition of gadolinium oleate in the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles induced sphere-to-cube shape changes of nanoparticles and generated iron oxide nanocubes coated with gadolinium. Based on experimental investigations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we attribute the shape change to the facet-selective binding of undecomposed gadolinium oleates. While many previous studies on the shape-controlled syntheses of nanoparticles rely on the stabilization of specific crystal facets by anionic surfactants or their decomposition products, this study shows that the interaction between growing transition metal oxide nanoparticles and rare-earth metal complexes can be used as a robust new mechanism for shape-controlled syntheses. Indeed, we demonstrated that this approach was applicable to other transition metal oxide nanoparticles (i.e., manganese oxide and manganese ferrite) and rare earth metals (i.e., gadolinium, europium, and cerium). This study also demonstrates that the nature of metal-ligand bonding can play an important role in the shape control of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Production of AgNPs with desired morphologies and surface characteristics using facile, economic and non-laborious processes is highly imperative. Cell extract based syntheses are emerging as a novel technique for the production of diverse forms of NPs, and is assured to meet the requirements. Therefore, in order to have a better understanding, and to improvise and gain control over the NPs morphological and surface characteristics, the present investigation systematically evaluates the influence of various major physico-cultural parameters including diverse growth media, concentrations of precursor salts; pH and temperature on the biotransformation of ionic silver (Ag+) to nanopariculate silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), utilizing the cell free extract of the bacterium, P. plecoglossicida. The synthesis, purity, morphology and surface characteristics of the AgNPs during optimization studies were measured. The bactericidal effect of these AgNPs was assessed using multi-drug resistant human pathogens; Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella enterica based on the diameter of inhibition zone in disk diffusion tests. The nanoparticles were found to be of higher toxicity to E. coli and S. enterica than A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa. The results demonstrate that the chosen parameters in whole or in part could have a significant influence on the morphology, surface characteristics, duration of production, overall yield and production of AgNPs.

Abstract
Adequately designed multiresponsive water-soluble graft copolymers were used to serve as a multifunctional polymeric platform for the encapsulation and transfer in aqueous media of hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The backbone of the graft copolymers was composed of hydrophilic sodium methacrylate units, hydrophobic dodecyl methacrylate units, and luminescent quinoline-based units, while either the homopolymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) or a poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide-co-N-isopropylacrylamide) copolymer was used as thermosensitive pendent side chains. The polymeric platform forms micellar-type assemblies in aqueous solution, and exhibits pH-responsive luminescent properties and a lower critical solution temperature behavior in water. Depending on the design of the side chains, the cloud point temperatures were determined at 38 and 42 °C, close or slightly above body temperature (37 °C). Above the critical micelle concentration (CMC), both graft copolymers can effectively stabilize in aqueous media as magnetic colloidal superparticles (MSPs), oleylamine-coated MnFe2O4 MNPs, as well as 1:1 mixture of oleylamine-coated MnFe2O4 and CoFe2O4 MNPs. When CoFe2O4 particles were mixed with MnFeO4 in equal amounts, the specific loss power increased significantly, while an opposite trend was observed in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies, probably due to the anisotropy of cobalt. As a consequence, fine-tuning of the chemical structure of the copolymers and the composition of the MSPs can lead to materials that are able to act simultaneously as luminescent, hyperthermia, and contrast MRI agents.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles were obtained from the hydrolysis of an organometallic precursor in pure hexadecylamine. Interestingly, we demonstrate that the final (anisotropic or isotropic) shape of the nanoparticles is strongly correlated to the existence of a critical temperature. This suggests that the organization of the fatty amines is a paramount parameter in this synthesis. Moreover, the final hybrid ZnO materials systematically exhibit a liquid-crystal smectic phase, whereas no liquid-crystal phase was observed in the pristine reaction media. This simple process is, therefore, a direct and straightforward method to synthesize liquid-crystal hybrid materials.

Abstract
Aim: We synthesized ultra-small iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIONs) with tripod morphology and studied the effect of the aspect ratio (AR) of the tripod arms on mass magnetization, T2 relaxation and cytocompatibility in human cell lines. Materials & methods: Tripods were prepared by controlling the temperature during the thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)5, and their magnetic properties were characterized by superconducting quantum interference device, and NMR. Citric acid stabilized USPIONs were used to assess cytocompatibility. Results: T2 relaxivity of tripods showed dependency on AR of the tripod arm. Liver enzyme levels in presence of tripods were comparable to spherical USPIONs, and surprisingly tripods induced lower levels of reactive oxygen species. Conclusion: Tripod USPIONs with high AR arms possess excellent magnetic properties and cytocompatibility for further exploration as MRI contrast agents.

Calcium hydroxide nanoparticles from solvothermal reaction for the deacidification of degraded waterlogged wood. J Colloid Interface Sci 2016; 473:1-8. [PMID: 27042819 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2016.03.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 73] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2016] [Revised: 03/15/2016] [Accepted: 03/17/2016] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS A combination of acid and iron ions inside the wood has been corroding the cellulose matrix of the Swedish warship Vasa, imposing its deacidification. Past deacidification treatments displayed poor penetration inside the wood matrix with limited efficacy. A vacuum assisted treatment of wood using newly developed calcium hydroxide nanoparticle dispersions represents a possible candidate for the treatment of acidic waterlogged wood objects such as sculptures and decorative artifacts. EXPERIMENTS A solvothermal process was used for the synthesis of calcium hydroxide nanoparticle dispersions. Before the application on waterlogged wood, the physico-chemical characterization of these systems was carried out using several techniques. The efficacy of the deacidification treatment of wood samples from the Vasa was assessed by determination of pH and Differential Thermal Gravimetric (DTG) measurements. FINDINGS The proposed solvothermal reactions can be used to produce stable and highly concentrated calcium hydroxide nanoparticle dispersions in alcohols, needing no further purification before the application. This process has also the advantage to be upscalable to industrial level. Both pH and DTG measurements showed that the newly developed dispersions can homogenously penetrate inside the wood up to 20cm, neutralizing acidity and creating an alkaline buffer inside the wooden matrix, to hinder the degradation of residual cellulose.
