Abstract null null Carbon based aerogels are special solid-state materials comprised of interconnected networks of 3D nanostructures with high amount of air-filled nanoporous. They expand the structural properties along with physicochemical characteristics of nanoscale construction blocks to macroscale, and incorporate distinctive attributes of aerogels, like large surface area, high porosity, and low density, with particular features of the different constituents. These features impart aerogels...

Abstract null null Recently, nanomaterials demonstrating optical response under illumination, the so-called optically responsive nanoparticles (NPs), have found their broad application as optical switchers, gas adsorbents, data storage devices, and optical and biological sensors. Unique optical properties of such nanomaterials are strongly related to their chemical composition, geometrical parameters and morphology. Microfluidic approaches for NPs’ synthesis allow overcoming the known critical s...

Abstract null null The first marketed example of the application of microcapsules dates back to 1957. Since then, microencapsulation techniques and knowledge have progressed in a plethora of technological fields, and efforts have been directed toward the design of progressively more efficient carriers. The protection of payloads from the exposure to unfavorable environments indeed grants enhanced efficacy, safety, and stability of encapsulated species while allowing for a fine tuning of their re...
Abstract null null Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) is one of the most efficient mesoscale coarse-grained methodologies used in studying soft matter systems. Here, we comprehensively review the progress in theoretical formulations, parametrization strategies and applications of DPD over the last two decades. DPD was developed to bridge the gap between the microscopic atomistic and macroscopic continuum length and time scales. Numerous efforts have been performed to improve the computational b...
Pluronic (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymers can form nano-sized micelles with a structure composed of a hydrophobic PPO core and hydrophilic PEO shell layer. Pluronics are U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved polymers, which are widely used for solubilization of drugs and their delivery, gene/therapeutic delivery, diagnostics, and tissue engineering applications due to their non-ionic properties, non-toxicity, micelle forming ability, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Although P...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are as a category of crystalline porous materials. Extensive interest has been devoted to energy storage and energy conversion applications owing to their unique advantages of periodic architecture, high specific surface area, high adsorption, high conductivity, high specific capacitance, and high porosity. One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures have unique surface effects, easily regulated size, good agglutination of the substrate, and other distinct properties amen...

Abstract null null In two decades, the solid state and polymer nanopores became attractive method for the protein sensing with high specificity and sensitivity. They also allow the characterization of conformational changes, unfolding, assembly and aggregation as well the following of enzymatic reaction. This review aims to provide an overview of the protein sensing regarding the technique of detection: the resistive pulse and ionic diodes. For each strategy, we report the most significant achie...

Abstract null null Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) present globally in drinking-, waste-, and groundwater sources are contaminants of emerging concern due to their long-term environmental persistence and toxicity to organisms, including humans. Here we review PFAS occurrence, behavior, and toxicity in various water sources, and critically discuss their removal via mineral adsorbents, including natural aluminosilicate clay minerals, oxidic clays (Al, Fe, and Si oxides), organoclay mine...
Abstract null null One-dimensional (1D) necklace-like assembly of inorganic nanoparticles exhibits unique collective properties, which are critical to open up new and remarkable opportunities in the field of nanotechnology. This review focuses on the recent advances in the production of these types of assemblies employing two strategies: colloidal synthesis and self-assembly procedures. After a brief description of the forces guiding nanoparticles towards the assembly, the main features of both ...
Abstract null null Enzymes have been incorporated into a wide variety of fields and industries as they catalyze many biochemical and chemical reactions. The immobilization of enzymes on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for generating nano biocatalysts with high stability and reusability is gaining great attention among researchers. Functionalized CNTs act as excellent support for effective enzyme immobilization. Depending on the application, the enzymes can be tailored using the various surface functiona...
