Since the last decade, there has been an increasing demand for the design of more
advanced functional materials. The integration of inorganic nanoparticles to polymer …

Polymers are considered to be good hosting matrices for composite materials because they
can easily be tailored to yield a variety of bulk physical properties. Moreover, organic …

The unique properties of nanocomposites have seen them creating the next revolution in
materials science. Their quantal properties as a result of their size have given them unique …

Hybrid inorganic–polymer nanocomposites can be employed in diverse applications due to
the potential combination of desired properties from both the organic and inorganic …

This book provides a broad overview of photonic crystals and, as the title suggests, covers
their principles and applications. It is written from a physics point of view with an emphasis …

The nonlinear optical absorption, scattering and optical limiting properties of CdS
nanoparticles dispersed in dimethylformamide (DMF) are investigated. The nanoparticles …

We demonstrate tunable room-temperature amplified spontaneous emission and lasing from
blue-emitting core-shell Cd S∕ Zn S nanocrystals (NCs) stabilized in a sol-gel derived silica …

A series CdS/PVA nanocomposite films with different amount of Cd salt have been prepared
by means of the in situ synthesis method via the reaction of Cd2+-dispersed poly vinyl …

Transparent ZrO2–polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposites with high refractive index
were prepared by dispersing ZrO2nanoparticles in a PDMS matrix via ligand molecule …

In this paper, preparation of new type for nanocomposite consists of (PVA-PEG-PVP) blend
as a matrix and zirconium oxide nanoparticles as an additive. The SEM and optical …
