Epoxy nanocomposites, with inorganic oxide nanoparticles as filler, can exhibit novel property combinations, such as enhanced mechanical strength, higher thermal conductivity, increased dielectric breakdown strength, and reduced complex permittivity. Therefore, they have interesting applications in n...

Herein, we report the synthesis of differently sized gadolinium oxide nanodisks and gadolinium doped iron oxide spherical and cubic nanoparticles through the thermal decomposition of an oleate precursor. We also demonstrate that these nanoparticles are promising candidates for MR contrast agents....

We report on the effect of different stimuli-responsive polymer shells on Fe@Au core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) with respect to thermoresponse as well as loading and release characteristics. The hybrid NP systems were investigated using a wide array of characterization techniques including dynamic li...

Here, a synthetic method has been optimized for the synthesis of thermoresponsive and pH-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) nanogels which are subsequently loaded with cytochrome C by using a modified breathing-in mechanism. Physico-chemical properties mapped by using dynamic lig...

To facilitate operation of power electronics for subsea operation at ambient pressure components have to be submerged in a liquid. Equipment and schemes for testing of long term properties have been developed. Several techniques were used to investigate compatibility between a silicone gel and vario...
