Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the recent research and development in the field of glass micro- and nanospheres. With special focus on the physics of spherical whispering-gallery mode resonators, it presents selected examples of application of glass microspheres in biosensing, laser devices, and microwave engineering. Hollow microspheres also offer a perspective for hydrogen transport and storage. On the other hand, glass nanospheres are fundamental for a class of photonic crystals (e.g., direct and inverse opals), as well as for industrial composite materials. Both micro- and nanospheres find important applications in biomedicine. The book highlights examples of preparation techniques and applications, addresses recent challenges, and examines potential solutions. It addresses physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers, working with glass materials on microcavities, on nanotechnologies, and on their applications.

Book excerpt: We have previously described the syntheses of both magnetic and nonmagnetic polymeric microspheres, and we have reported their application in removal of neuroblastoma cells from normal cells in bone marrow, in the separation of red blood cells, and the separation of human B and T lymphocytes. In the present study, we describe a series of hydrophilic microspheres consisting of (1) poly-HEMA and (2) a copolymer sequence of HEMA-acrolein microspheres.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The structure of a polymeric material has a great influence in many fundamental scientific areas as well as in more applied science, since it affects the diffusion, permeability, mechanical strength, elasticity, and colloidal properties of the materials. The results in this thesis demonstrate that it is possible to fabricate solid and hollow cellulose spheres with a cellulose shell and encapsulated gas, liquid or solid particles and with a sphere size ranging from a few hundreds of nanometres to several millimetres, all with a tailored design and purpose. The sizes of the different spheres have been controlled by three different preparation methods : large cellulose macrospheres by a solution solidification procedure, hollow micrometre-sized cellulose spheres by a liquid flow-focusing technique in microchannels, and nanometre-sized cellulose spheres by a membrane emulsification technique. The spheres were then modified in different ways in order to functionalize them into more advanced materials. This thesis demonstrates how to control the cellulose sphere dimensions and the wall-to-void volume ratio, the elasticity and the functionality of the spheres as such, where they were prepared to be pH-responsive, surface specific and X-ray active. These modifications are interesting in several different types of final materials such as packaging materials, drug release devices or advanced in vivo diagnostic applications. In the more fundamental science approach, surface-smooth solid cellulose spheres were prepared for characterization of the macroscopic work of adhesion when a cellulose surface is separated from another material. Using these ultra-smooth macroscopic cellulose probes, it is possible to measure the compatibility and the surface interactions between cellulose and other materials which provide an important tool for incorporating cellulose into different composite materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microtechnology has changed our world since the last century, when silicon microelectronics revolutionized sensor, control and communication areas, with applications extending from domotics to automotive, and from security to biomedicine. The present century, however, is also seeing an accelerating pace of innovation in glassy materials; as an example, glass-ceramics, which successfully combine the properties of an amorphous matrix with those of micro- or nano-crystals, offer a very high flexibility of design to chemists, physicists and engineers, who can conceive and implement advanced microdevices. In a very similar way, the synthesis of glassy polymers in a very wide range of chemical structures offers unprecedented potential of applications. The contemporary availability of microfabrication technologies, such as direct laser writing or 3D printing, which add to the most common processes (deposition, lithography and etching), facilitates the development of novel or advanced microdevices based on glassy materials. Biochemical and biomedical sensors, especially with the lab-on-a-chip target, are one of the most evident proofs of the success of this material platform. Other applications have also emerged in environment, food, and chemical industries. The present Special Issue of Micromachines aims at reviewing the current state-of-the-art and presenting perspectives of further development. Contributions related to the technologies, glassy materials, design and fabrication processes, characterization, and, eventually, applications are welcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanotechnology will be soon required in most engineering and science curricula. It cannot be questioned that cutting-edge applications based on nanoscience are having a considerable impact in nearly all fields of research, from basic to more problem-solving scientific enterprises. In this sense, books like “Silver Nanoparticles” aim at filling the gaps for comprehensive information to help both newcomers and experts, in a particular fast-growing area of research. Besides, one of the key features of this book is that it could serve both academia and industry. “Silver nanoparticles” is a collection of eighteen chapters written by experts in their respective fields. These reviews are representative of the current research areas within silver nanoparticle nanoscience and nanotechnology.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer, metal, silica and ceramic nanoring arrays were synthesized using soft-lithographic techniques as well as selective dewetting. From the resulting ring arrays, square, rectangle or cross-shaped rings were fabricated using surface energy controlled viscous flow of polymers above their glass transition temperature. Metal, polymer and ceramic nanorods/nanowires were synthesized using nanochannel alumina templates. A new inexpensive all-synthetic technique was developed, using nanospheres to synthesize nanorods. The technique named nanosphere imprinted nanochannel alumina (NINA) allows the synthesis of highly ordered porous alumina films with uniform nanochannels of tunable dimensions and spacing for the synthesis of corresponding nanowires/nanorods. As well, all-synthetic nanomachines such as self-propelled nanorotors were described using bimetallic nanorods propelled with the power generated by the selective catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at one nanowire end. The nanochemist requires a toolbox of nano "building blocks" to assemble and create useful structures with potential technological applications. From a choice of diverse building blocks, this thesis focuses on three promising ones: nanospheres, nanorods and nanorings and describes their synthesis as well as potential applications. Silica and polystyrene nanospheres were synthesized and assembled into 2D & 3D micro-patterned colloidal crystal arrays using soft lithographic techniques. Non-destructive imaging of such crystals was performed using scanning electron microscopy (2D) and laser scanning confocal microscopy (3D) to probe external and internal defects respectively.
