Recently, synthesis of hierarchically structured porous materials gained particular interest for various industrial applications. As a biocompatible and chemically stable material, hierarchical CaCO3 structures formed by ordered aggregation and growth of nanocrystals offer significant advantages for structural and biomedical use compared to their currently-used alternatives. During solution processing, incorporating doping agents to calcium positions or altering CaCO3 supersaturation, new crystals can heterogeneously nucleate on previously formed nuclei, leading to particle growth in a hierarchical manner. In this study, hierarchical CaCO3 microparticles were synthesized at temperatures below 100 °C by an additive-modified precipitation approach. The morphology and crystal structure of the CaCO3 particles were determined by electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). By varying additive content and temperature, morphologies including hollow microspheres, crab-like and flower-like particles were successfully obtained.

Nanotechnology enabled synthesis of various shapes and morphologies of conventional materials. Nanotubes, nanoparticles, quantum dots and nanowires are the new form of materials. Especially nanowires have gotten great attention due to their unique physical, chemical and optical properties. Superior properties of nanowires are based on their high surface area and two quantum confinement directions. Silver is one of the most conductive metals and it has the highest thermal conductivity. Due to excellent prope...

Synthesis of acrylic based high internal phase emulsion polymers and their application in chromatography
Tunç, Yeliz; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2009)
High internal phase emulsion polymers (PolyHIPEs) are new generation materials with their high porosity and interconnected open-cell structures and finds applications in areas such as supports for catalytic systems, separation media and tissue engineering scaffolds. Styrene based PolyHIPEs are currently the most popular choice, but solvent compatibility and poor mechanical properties of these materials prevent their applications. Therefore development of new polyHIPEs with desired mechanical and cellular pr...

Elcı, Aylin; Demırtas, Ozge; Öztürk, İbrahim Murat; Bek, Alpan; Nalbant Esentürk, Emren (2018-12-01)
Tin oxide-coated gold nanostar hybrid nanostructures are prepared by first synthesizing gold nanostars (ca. 400nm), then introducing Na2SnO3 precursor followed by its hydrolysis and formation of a tin oxide layer on nanoparticle surface. The synthesized hybrid structures have been characterized by combination of UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray studies, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectr...
