ABSTRACTHighly mono-dispersed CdSe/CdS core-shell and CdSe/CdS composites have been prepared by a novel route involving thermolysis in TOPO using Cd(Se2CNMe(nHex))2 and Cd(S2CNMe(nHex))2. The absorption band edge (652 nm, 1.90 eV) of the CdSe-CdS core-shell structure is red shifted (22 nm, 0.0 17 eV) as compared to the CdSe nanoparticles (630 nm, 1.96 eV) whereas the absorption spectrum of the CdSe-CdS composites shows the absorption band edge at (584 nm, 2.12 eV), blue shifted (46 nm, 0.037 eV) as expected. Photoluminescence (PL, λex = 400 nm) of both the core-shell (622 nm) and the composites (588 nm) show values close to band edge emission. A sharper emission maximum with a considerable increase of intensity is observed for core-shell structure as compared to that of CdSe whereas the composite showed a broader emission maximum. The TEM images of the CdSe/CdS core-shell nanoparticles show crystalline, spherical particles with the average size of 53 Å (±7 %), a increase of 8 Å than the average size of CdSe (45 Å) nanoparticles, with a narrow size distribution. The High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) showed lattice spacing intermediate between those for CdSe and CdS as is observed by Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED) and X-ray patterns (hexagonal phase). As expected no interface can be observed by HRTEM between CdSe core and CdS shell. The TEM image of the CdSe-CdS composites show particles with an average size of 48.7 Å (±10%).

It's highly desired to design an effective Z-scheme photocatalyst with excellent charge transfer and separation, a more negative conduction band edge (ECB) than O2/·O2− (−0.33 eV) and a more positive valence band edge (EVB) than ·OH/OH− (+2.27 eV).

Fe3O4@chitosan (CS)@Gefitinib (GFTN) core-shell structure composite magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by chemical coprecipitation method in this study. In addition, protamine was doped in Fe3O4 cores to prepare Fe3O4@protamine@CS@GFTN core-shell structure composite NPs, in order to increase the loading of GFTN in composite NPs. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and spectrophotometer. The results show that the average size of Fe3O4@CS@GFTN and Fe3O4@protamine@CS@GFTN composite NPs is approximately 19 and 21[Formula: see text]nm, respectively. The saturation magnetizations of composite magnetic NPs and corresponding magnetic fluids are 57.20, 20.79, 59.58 and 19.75[Formula: see text]emu/g, respectively. The loading of GFTN in composite NPs was measured by a spectrophotometer to be about 13.5% and 27.6%, respectively. The addition of protamine increased the loading of GFTN two times, indicating that it will play an important role in the management of lung diseases.

In this paper, a novel poly(butyl methacry1ate)/poly(methyl methacrylate-itaconic acid)(PBA/P(MMA-ITA)) latex particles with core/shell structure (CSR) was synthesized by the method of pre-emulsion semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization. The core/shell structure of CSR was characterized by TEM and confirmed that the average size of CSR particles was about 330 nm and that of PBA core was about 290 nm. The polyamide 6 (PA 6)/CSR blends (N/CSR) were prepared by the melt-blending technique, and its impact strength reached 40kJ•m-2 (more than 7 times higher than neat PA 6) when the ITA dosage was in the range of 4%~10%. The results of SEM showed that the high toughness of N/CSR blends was the result of the shear deformation of PA 6 matrix induced by cavitation of dispersed phase CSR.
