Parallel effects of cations on PNIPAM graft wettability and PNIPAM solubility.
TL;DR: The results showed that the effects of varying cations on surface wettability are as large as the results of varying anion identity and concentration, and the Theta(a) or LCST versus cation activity/concentration could be readily grouped by charge.

Designing surfaces with wettability that varies in response to solute identity and concentration.
TL;DR: Surfaces with solute responsive wettability can be prepared by covalent layer-by-layer assembly of PNIPAM-c-PNASI with 10 and 100 nm diameter aminated silica nanoparticles and are found to exhibit reversible changes in surface wetting in response to solute anion identity and concentration.

Preparation, size control, surface deposition, and catalytic reactivity of hydrophobic corrolazine nanoparticles in an aqueous environment.
TL;DR: The reactivity and product selectivity seen for Fe( III)Cz-NPs differs dramatically from that seen for the molecular species in organic solvents, suggesting that both the nanoparticle structure and the aqueous conditions may contribute to significant changes in the mechanism of action of the Fe(III)CZ catalyst.

TL;DR: In this paper, an organic nanoparticles of an Fe(III) porphyrin appended with four N-polyethyleneglyco-pyridinium moieties prepared in acetonitrile were deposited onto hydrophilic or hydrophobic Si surfaces.

Superhydrophobic surfaces formed using layer-by-layer self-assembly with aminated multiwall carbon nanotubes.
TL;DR: These analyses show that these superhydrophilic surfaces have micro/nanoroughness with a roughly uniform distribution of MWNT nanoparticles and the ionically assembled nanocomposite graft is labile under acidic conditions.
