The nano-Ag films were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering technique, and all of them were treated by rapid thermal annealing at different temperatures. The structure, the morphology and the optical properties of the annealed nano-Ag films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy. The experimental results show that the open area fraction of the film and spacing between islands or nanoparticles increase with the increase of the annealing temperature, while the aspect ratio decreases. The anisotropic worm-like island films have been reshaped into isotropic nanospheres. The surface plasmon (SP) resonance band blue shifts and narrows continuously with increasing heating temperature. Analyses show that the SP resonance of the nano-Ag films can be modulated by morphology evolution induced by rapid thermal annealing.

Emissions due to tires retread/repair and incineration are a cause of concern owing to the presence of nanoparticles in the products. The assessment exposure to humans hereto related is a challenge in an environmental context. The first object of this work is to develop a method to characterize the emission sources using online (counting and sizing) and offline measurements.

To extend the postharvest storage time of strawberries, this study aims to prepare a composite coating using plasma-activated hydrogen peroxide solution (PAH) synergized with nano-Ag@SiO by blending method to modify polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution. Results showed that the viscosity and the swelling rate of PVA significantly decreased with the addition of Ag@SiO at 0.18 %.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a green, natural biopolymer with excellent biocompatibility and a film-forming ability. However, its lack of inherent antibacterial activity restricts its application in medical materials and food preservation. In this study, BC derived from the juice of discarded Xinhui citrus was obtained through fermentation and further modified in situ with graphene oxide (GO) to obtain BC(GO).

Sintered silver (Ag) die-attach has attracted much attention in power systems with high power density and high operating temperature. In this paper, we proposed a novel surface modification method for Ag nanoparticles with organic amines as a coating agent for enhancing the pressureless sintering performance. This work systematically introduced the Ag nanoparticle modification process, Ag paste preparation, and sintering process and compared the changes in the sintering performance of Ag nanoparticles after modification with four different alkyl chain lengths of amines.
