Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have
become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape …

This paper reviews the surface modification strategies of a wide range of nanomaterials
using aryldiazonium salts. After a brief history of diazonium salts since their discovery by …

Aryldiazonium salts as coupling agents for surface chemistry have evidenced their wide
applications for the development of sensors. Combined with advances in nanomaterials …

Nanoparticles (NPs) can be prepared by simple reactions and methods from a number of
materials. Their small size opens up a number of applications in different fields, among …

We describe the preparation of multibranched gold–silica–molecularly imprinted polymer
(bAu@ mSiO2@ MIP) core–shell nanoparticles, with their specific ability to recognize …

Due to the inherent limitations, single chemo or photothermal therapies (PTT) are always
inefficient. The combination of chemotherapy and PTT for the treatment of cancers has …

In this paper, a comprehensive review of the sensing technologies, capabilities and
requirements in the energy-water nexus is presented considering the interdependence of …

This review critically summarizes the knowledge of imprinted polymer-based
electrochemical sensors for the detection of pesticides, metal ions and waterborne …

Due to the absence of labels and fast analyses, optical biosensors promise major advances
in biomedical diagnostics, security, environmental, and food safety applications. However …

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been developed as alternative materials or
artificial receptors to antibodies, with good memory as template molecules, and have …
