Electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly, a novel method for ultrathin film coating has been applied to silicone rubber to encourage nerve cell adhesion. The surfaces studied consisted of… (More)
Ag-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles were prepared directly in ultrathin TiO(2)-gel films by a stepwise ion-exchange/reduction approach. Ion-exchange sites were created in ultrathin films using Mg(2+) ions… (More)
A simple and general method for the preparation of ultrathin, large-area, free-standing films of nanofibrous composite materials was developed. First, positively charged cadmium hydroxide nanostrands… (More)
Thin inorganic membranes are of importance to a number of applications such as sensing, catalysis and separation. Here, we present a method to fabricate free-standing sheets of various inorganic… (More)
Astonishingly uniform polypyrrole nanocoating on morphologically complex cellulosic substances was achieved without disrupting the hierarchical network structures of individual cellulose fibers by… (More)
A novel protocol for precisely coating individual multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with an ultrathin layer of polypyrrole was developed. The nanocoated MWCNTs were successfully prepared by in situ… (More)
There are increasing requirements worldwide for advanced separation materials with applications in environmental protection processes. Various mesoporous polymeric materials have been developed and… (More)
