The colloidal domain is characterized by the dimensions of its constituents in the range from
several nanometers to micrometers. Often, these individual entities are organized in …

This review describes the latest advances in the synthesis and assembly of specific colloids
such as the colloidal molecules as defined by van Blaaderen in 2003 and the patchy …

Nature evolved a variety of hierarchical structures that produce sophisticated functions.
Inspired by these natural materials, colloidal self-assembly provides a convenient way to …

The burgeoning need to fabricate new functional materials through the assembly of colloidal
building blocks has motivated an intensive research focused on patchy particles. A large …

Recycling and reuse of biomass waste in synthesis of nanomaterials have recently received
much attention as an effective solution for environmental protection and sustainable …

Interest in branched colloidal gold nanosystems has gained increased traction due to the
structures' outstanding optical and plasmonic properties, resulting in utilization in techniques …

Gold nanostructures that can be synthetically articulated to adapt diverse morphologies,
offer a versatile platform and tunable properties for applications in a variety of areas …

Nanostructured particles containing noble metals can have highly tunable localized surface
plasmon resonances and are therefore of particular interest for numerous applications …

In this work, the kinetics of the redox reaction between platinum (IV) chloride complex ions
and ascorbic acid is studied. The reduction process of Pt (IV) to Pt (II) ions was carried out at …

Raspberry-like poly (oligoethylene methacrylate-bN-vinylcaprolactam)/polystyrene
