Controlled release from protein particles encapsulated by molecular layer deposition

Molecular layer deposition (MLD) was used to coat micron-sized protein particles in a fluidized bed reactor. Our results show that the dissolution rate of particles coated via MLD rapidly decreases with the increase in number of coating cycles, while the uncoated particles dissolve instantaneously.

Selectivity of the Fischer–Tropsch process: Deviations from single alpha product distribution explained by gradients in process conditions

Non-ASF product distributions in Fischer–Tropsch synthesis can occur with a gradient in process conditions at the particle or reactor scale, leading to a gradient in chain growth probability a.Weighted summation of local product distributions gives the proper, non-ASF product distribution.

Atomic layer deposition of platinum clusters on titania nanoparticles at atmospheric pressure

We report the fabrication of platinum nanoclusters with a narrow size distribution on TiO2 nanoparticles using atomic layer deposition. With MeCpPtMe3 and ozone as reactants, the deposition can be carried out at a relatively low temperature of 250 degrees C. Our approach of working with suspended nanoparticles at atmospheric pressure gives...

The role of the hydrogen bond in dense nanoparticle–gas suspensions

The effect of surface characteristics on the interaction between nanoparticles and their agglomeration in dense gas suspensions is still not fully understood. It is known that when the surface is covered with hydroxyl groups, the interaction between nanoparticles becomes substantially stronger than in the absence of these groups; this...
