Throughout this study, we propose using hybrid heating (microwaves – thermal radiation) on a heterogeneous structure. Our goal is to improve the effectivity of its thermal treatment. We analyze a core-shell assembly with different thermal and electrical properties. A solid sphere makes up the core of the arrangement. Such a core is surrounded by three layers of different materials. Because of the properties of the original system, we propose modifying the core so that it absorbs microwaves. The layers are all homogeneous and microwave transparent. The first two exhibit a low thermal conductivity, while the outermost one is a good thermal conductor. We also propose adding a thin layer of susceptor between the first two layers, striving to alleviate the low thermal conduction problem. Furthermore, the dielectric loss constant of this new layer is temperature-dependent. We assume that the composed sphere hangs within the electromagnetic cavity and continuously rotates, so it homogeneously receives microwaves and thermal radiation (from an electrical resistance). Thus, the thermal model is given by a set of time-dependent partial differential equations. Transient temperature profiles are analyzed under different experimental scenarios. There is a clear advantage of using the proposed hybrid heating in this particular case.

AbstractFerromagnetic Resonance experiments are used to investigate the magnetic properties of monodisperse Co/CoO core-shell nanoparticles with diameters of about 10nm. From frequency- dependent measurements at various frequencies of 9-80 GHz the g-value is determined to be 2.13 which suggests an fcc bulk-like environment of the Co atoms within the core of the particles. This result yields a direct measure of the ratio of orbital to spin magnetic moment νL/νS=0.065. Moreover, from temperature-dependent measurements of the resonance field the anisotropy energy is extracted and found much lower than the hcp bulk value.

In this work, a core-shell-like sphere ruthenium catalyst, named as 5%Ru/γ-Al2O3@ASMA, has been successfully synthesized through impregnating the ruthenium nanoparticles (NPs) on the surface of the amino poly (styrene-co-maleic) polymer (ASMA) encapsulating γ-Al2O3 pellet support. The interaction between the Ru cations and the electro-donating polymer shell rich in hydroxyl and amino groups through the coordination bond would guarantee that the Ru NPs can be highly dispersed and firmly embedded on the surface of the support. In addition, the solid sphere γ-Al2O3 pellet could serve as the core to support the resulted catalysts applied in the flow process in a trickle bed reactor to promote the productivity. The resulted catalyst 5%Ru/γ-Al2O3@ASMA can be applied efficiently in the glucose hydrogenation and presents a steadfast sorbitol yield of almost 90% both in batch reactor and the trickle bed reactor, indicating the potential feasibility of the core-shell-like catalyst in the efficient production of sorbitol.

This paper is concerned with a perturbation technique suitable for the stress analysis of viscoelastic solids with temperature-dependent properties in the presence of nonuniform transient temperature fields. The problems of the infinite slab, solid sphere, and infinitely long viscoelastic cylinder are given solutions in the form of infinite series. Sufficient conditions for the convergence of the series are established.

Abstract The core-shell of nanoferrites showed quite different properties rather than the nanoferrites counterpart. The nanocomposites of NiFe2O4@MgFe2O4 (NiF@MgF) and ZnFe2O4@MgFe2O4 (ZnF@MgF) are chemically stable and showed very good dielectric and magnetic properties. In this investigation, the temperature-dependent dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and ac-electrical conductivity were measured up to 650 K under different alternating electric field frequencies from 100 Hz to 8 MHz. The obtained data revealed that the mutual effect between the core and the shell samples increases the space charge polarization. Also, the samples showed the semiconducting-metallic behavior which varies between SP, CBH, and QMT models according to the temperatures and the frequencies. Furthermore, the magnetization M(T) was studied of all samples using the Faraday balance method in the temperature range 300-500K. The experimental results of M(T) exhibit good magnetic properties of the core-shell samples, particularly the sample ZnF@MgF. The novelty in this work is an unexpected behavior of ZnF@MgF which possesses magnetization higher than the pure ferrite phase (MgFe2O4), and Curie temperature (TCm) higher than the room temperature. So, the sample ZnF@MgF is a ferrimagnetic substance. Besides, the effective magnetic moment (mEff) and the Curie-Weiss constant (q) for all samples were obtained from the magnetic susceptibility c(T) protocols.

Magnetic properties of the sets of Fe3O4(core)/CoFe2O4(shell) composite nanoparticles with a core diameter of about 6.3 nm and various shell thicknesses (0, 1.0, and 2.5 nm), as well as the mixtures of Fe3O4 and CoFe2O4 nanoparticles taken in the ratios corresponding to the core/shell material contents in the former case, have been studied. The results of magnetic research showed that the coating of magnetic nanoparticles with a shell gives rise to the appearance of two simultaneous effects: the modification of the core/shell interface parameters and the parameter change in both the nanoparticle’s core and shell themselves. As a result, the core/shell particles acquire new characteristics that are inherent neither to Fe3O4 nor to CoFe2O4. The obtained results open the way to the optimization and adaptation of the parameters of the core/shell spinel-ferrite-based nanoparticles for their application in various technological and biomedical domains.

Core-shell materials are promising functional materials for fundamental research and industrial application, as their properties can be adapted for specific applications. In particular, particles featuring iron or iron oxide as core material are relevant since they combine magnetic and catalytic properties. The addition of an SiO2 shell around the core particles introduces additional design aspects, such as a pore structure and surface functionalization. Herein, we describe the synthesis and application of iron-based core-shell nanoparticles for two different fields of research that is heterogeneous catalysis and water purification. The iron-based core shell materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, as well as N2-physisorption, X-ray diffraction, and vibrating-sample magnetometer measurements in order to correlate their properties with the performance in the target applications. Investigations of these materials in CO2 hydrogenation and water purification show their versatility and applicability in different fields of research and application, after suitable individual functionalization of the core-shell precursor. For design and application of magnetically separable particles, the SiO2 shell is surface-functionalized with an ionic liquid in order to bind water pollutants selectively. The core requires no functionalization, as it provides suitable magnetic properties in the as-made state. For catalytic application in synthesis gas reactions, the SiO2-stabilized core nanoparticles are reductively functionalized to provide the catalytically active metallic iron sites. Therefore, Fe@SiO2 core-shell nanostructures are shown to provide platform materials for various fields of application, after a specific functionalization.

Bimetallic nanoparticles show novel electronic, optical, catalytic or photocatalytic properties different from those of monometallic nanoparticles and arising from the combination of the properties related to the presence of two individual metals but also from the synergy between the two metals. In this regard, bimetallic nanoparticles find applications in several technological areas ranging from energy production and storage to sensing. Often, these applications are based on optical properties of the bimetallic nanoparticles, for example, in plasmonic solar cells or in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy-based sensors. Hence, in these applications, the specific interaction between the bimetallic nanoparticles and the electromagnetic radiation plays the dominant role: properties as localized surface plasmon resonances and light-scattering efficiency are determined by the structure and shape of the bimetallic nanoparticles. In particular, for example, concerning core-shell bimetallic nanoparticles, the optical properties are strongly affected by the core/shell sizes ratio. On the basis of these considerations, in the present work, the Mie theory is used to analyze the light-scattering properties of bimetallic core–shell spherical nanoparticles (Au/Ag, AuPd, AuPt, CuAg, PdPt). By changing the core and shell sizes, calculations of the intensity of scattered light from these nanoparticles are reported in polar diagrams, and a comparison between the resulting scattering efficiencies is carried out so as to set a general framework useful to design light-scattering-based devices for desired applications.

Using coarse-grained dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) with explicit electrostatics, we performed (i) an extensive series of simulations of the electrostatic co-assembly of asymmetric oppositely charged copolymers composed of one (either positively or negatively charged) polyelectrolyte (PE) block A and one water-soluble block B and (ii) studied the solubilization of positively charged porphyrin derivatives (P+) in the interpolyelectrolyte complex (IPEC) cores of co-assembled nanoparticles. We studied the stoichiometric mixtures of 137 A10+B25 and 137 A10−B25 chains with moderately hydrophobic A blocks (DPD interaction parameter aAS=35) and hydrophilic B blocks (aBS=25) with 10 to 120 P+ added (aPS=39). The P+ interactions with other components were set to match literature information on their limited solubility and aggregation behavior. The study shows that the moderately soluble P+ molecules easily solubilize in IPEC cores, where they partly replace PE+ and electrostatically crosslink PE− blocks. As the large P+ rings are apt to aggregate, P+ molecules aggregate in IPEC cores. The aggregation, which starts at very low loadings, is promoted by increasing the number of P+ in the mixture. The positively charged copolymers repelled from the central part of IPEC core partially concentrate at the core-shell interface and partially escape into bulk solvent depending on the amount of P+ in the mixture and on their association number, AS. If AS is lower than the ensemble average ⟨AS⟩n, the copolymer chains released from IPEC preferentially concentrate at the core-shell interface, thus increasing AS, which approaches ⟨AS⟩n. If AS>⟨AS⟩n, they escape into the bulk solvent.
