Controllable fabrication and characterization of biocompatible core-shell particles and hollow capsules as drug carrier

SiO₂@CdSe core-shell particles were fabricated by controllable deposition CdSe nanoparticles on silica colloidal spheres. Step-wise coating process was tracked by the TEM and XRD measurements. In addition, SiO₂@CdSe/polypyrrole(PPy) multi-composite particles were synthesized based on the as-prepared SiO₂@CdSe particles by cationic polymerization. The direct electrochemistry of myoglobin (Mb) could be performed by immobilizing Mb on the surface of SiO₂@CdSe particles. Immobilized with Mb, SiO₂@CdSe/PPy-Mb also displayed good bioelectrochemical activity. It confirmed the good biocompatible property of the materials with protein. CdSe hollow capsules were further obtained as the removal of the cores of SiO₂@CdSe spheres. Hollow and porous character of CdSe sub-meter size capsules made them becoming hopeful candidates as drug carriers. Doxorubicin, a typical an antineoplastic drug, was introduced into the capsules. A good sustained drug release behavior of the loading capsules was discovered via performing a release test in the PBS buffer (pH 7.4) solution at 310 k. Furthermore, SiO₂@CdSe/PPy could be converted to various smart hollow capsules via selectively removal of their relevant components.     

Fabrication and optical properties of 3D composite photonic crystals of core-shell structures

Three-dimensional (3D) composite colloidal photonic crystals with SiO₂ core and ZnO shell were fabricated on borosilicate glass (BSG) substrate by a two-stage deposition method.

The optical properties of SiO₂/ZnO core-shell structures strongly depend on the size dispersions of colloidal spheres and the intrinsic defects in the sample.

Graded index broadband antireflection coating prepared by glancing angle deposition for a high-power laser system

This paper reports that SiO₂ is selected to fabricate broadband antireflection (AR) coatings on fused silica substrate by using glancing angle deposition and physical vapour deposition. Through accurate control of the graded index of the SiO₂ layer, transmittance of the graded broadband AR coating can achieve an average value of 98% across a spectral range of 300--1850~nm. Moreover, a laser-induced damage threshold measurement of the fabricated AR coating is performed by using a one-on-one protocol according to ISO11254-1, resulting in an average damage threshold of 17.2~J/cm$^{2}$.     

Nanostructured porous SiO2 films for antireflection coatings

Thin films with a low refractive index play an important role in optics, optoelectronics, and microelectronics. In this study, we present nanostructured porous SiO₂ films fabricated by using a glancing angle deposition technique. These nanostructured porous SiO₂ films deposited at an angle of 85° show very low refractive indices of 1.08 at 633 nm. As an application, a four-layer antireflection coating for visible wavelength is designed and fabricated using SiO₂ material only. The normal incidence reflectance of the antireflection coating averaged between 400 and 800 nm is about 0.04%. The microstructure and the surface morphology are also investigated by using a scanning electron microscope.     

Silicon based polytetrafluoroethylene electrets: Preparation and corona charging characteristics

In this paper, silicon based planar technology and high performance fluorocarbon polymer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are combined to achieve PTFE thin film electrets on wafer. The PTFE film is fabricated onto SiO₂ substrates and Pt substrates using spin coating and annealing processes, and its electret effect is demonstrated using negative corona charging method. PTFE electrets with different surface morphology exhibit different charge storage capability. Maximally, surface potential of ?396 V is achieved on Pt substrates and ?361 V is achieved on SiO₂ substrates. The average retain rate of surface potential over 240 h is 90.6% for Pt substrates and 76.3% for SiO₂ substrates. The proposed method presents the primary step toward integrated electrostatic devices.     

Fabrication of superhydrophobic coating via a facile and versatile method based on nanoparticle aggregates

Herein, we report a facile and low cost method for the fabrication of superhydrophobic surface via spin coating the mixture of polydimethylsiloxane precursor (PDMS) and silicon dioxide (SiO₂) nanoparticles. The surface hydrophobicity can be well tuned by adjusting the weight percent of PDMS and SiO₂. The water contact angle (WCA) can increase from 106.8 ± 1.2° on PDMS film to 165.2 ± 2.3° on PDMS/SiO₂ coating, companying with a change from adhering to rolling which was observed from tilting angle (TA) characterization. Multi-scale physical structures with SiO₂ nanoparticle aggregates and networks of SiO₂ nanoparticle aggregates are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM), and they can be observed more clearly from the AFM images treated with software (WSxM). Then the relationship between surface hydrophobicity and structures is further discussed based on Wenzel and Cassie models, indicating that the appearance of networks of nanoparticle aggregates is important in the Cassie state. The superhydrophobic coating can keep the superhydrophobicity at least for one month under environment conditions and readily regenerate after mechanical damage. Additionally, the superhydrophobic coating can be fabricated using other methods including dip coating, spray coating and casting. Thus, a large area of superhydrophobic coatings can be easily fabricated. Therefore the range of possible applications for these facile and versatile methods can be expanded to various actual conditions.
