TL;DR: Scanning and transmission electron microscopy images demonstrate that the wall thickness of the hollow spheres can be readily controlled by varying the number of nanoparticle-polymer deposition cycles, and the size and shape are determined by the morphology of the templating colloid.
Abstract: Hollow silica and silica-polymer spheres with diameters between 720 and 1000 nanometers were fabricated by consecutively assembling silica nanoparticles and polymer onto colloids and subsequently removing the templated colloid either by calcination or decomposition upon exposure to solvents. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy images demonstrate that the wall thickness of the hollow spheres can be readily controlled by varying the number of nanoparticle-polymer deposition cycles, and the size and shape are determined by the morphology of the templating colloid. The hollow spheres produced are envisioned to have applications in areas ranging from medicine to pharmaceutics to materials science.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general approach to the making of metal nanoshell composite nanoparticles based on molecular self-assembly and colloid reduction chemistry is described, which can be used to construct a new, composite nanoparticle whose optical resonance can be designed in a controlled manner.

TL;DR: This textbook covers nanoscale energy transport and conversion, focusing on thermal energy storage and transport. It provides a comprehensive overview of microscale heat transfer and incorporates results from related disciplines.
Abstract: Abstract This is a graduate level textbook in nanoscale heat transfer and energy conversion that can also be used as a reference for researchers in the developing field of nanoengineering. It provides a comprehensive overview of microscale heat transfer, focusing on thermal energy storage and transport. Chen broadens the readership by incorporating results from related disciplines, from the point of view of thermal energy storage and transport, and presents related topics on the transport of electrons, phonons, photons, and molecules. This book is part of the MIT-Pappalardo Series in Mechanical Engineering.

TL;DR: In this article, the strength of silica aerogel monoliths was improved by cross-linking the nanoparticle building blocks of preformed silica hydrogels with poly(hexamethylene diisocyanate).
Abstract: In the quest for strong lightweight materials, silica aerogels would be very attractive, if they were not fragile. The strength of silica aerogel monoliths has been improved by a factor of over 100 through cross-linking the nanoparticle building blocks of preformed silica hydrogels with poly(hexamethylene diisocyanate). Composite monoliths are much less hygroscopic than native silica, and they do not collapse when in contact with liquids.
