Article Abstract
Graphite Oxide (multi-layer) composite with other materials has a huge application in various field of science, due to its excellent and unique properties. Even though from past decade, immense research has been done by materials scientists in this field, but the chemistry is still not yet satisfactory. Here, in this work, through the discovery of Nanogate structure, we have reported for the first time the experimental results that enlightened the clear chemistry between the GO and ZnS which is further supported by the DFT calculations. This novel synthesis method led to the discovery of nanogate structure sandwiched between the GO layers. The nanogate formation also shows enhanced properties for various applications like photocatalytic activities, etc. Due to the nanogate formation, there might be a possibility of enormous generation of electrons on excitation of the composite materials, which can be a boom for various applications like photocatalysis, water splitting, solar cell, etc.

For several decades after Moore's Law is proposed, there is a continuous effort to reduce the feature-size of transistors. However, as the size of transistors continues to decrease, numerous challenges and obstacles including severe short channel effects (SCEs) are emerging. Recently, low-dimensional materials have provided new opportunities for constructing small feature-size transistors due to their superior electrical properties compared to silicon.

Tunable multi-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles were prepared by post-condensation/surface modification of MCM-41 nanoparticles. Surface grafting of a poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)-based polymer containing disulfide bonds was achieved by a click reaction. Chemical modification, morphological characteristics, and textural properties of the nanoparticles were studied using multiple characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption behavior.

Two novel stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) were successfully created from bovine serum albumin- or myoglobin-gated upconversion nanoparticle-embedded mesoporous silica nanovehicles (UCNP@mSiO) via diselenide (Se-Se)-containing linkages. More importantly, multiple roles of each scaffold of the nanovehicles were achieved. The controlled release of the encapsulated drug doxorubicin (DOX) within the mesopores was activated by triple stimuli (acidic pH, glutathione, or HO) of tumor microenvironments, owing to the conformation/surface charge changes in proteins or the reductive/oxidative cleavages of the Se-Se bonds.

The self-assembly of block copolymers in a confined space has been proven to be a facile and robust strategy for fabricating assembled structures with various potential applications. Herein, we employed a new pH-responsive polymer self-assembly method to regulate ion transport inside artificial nanochannels. The track-etched asymmetric nanochannels were functionalized with PS--P4VP/hPS blend polymers, and the ionic conductance and rectification properties of the proposed system were investigated.

In the current report, hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) nanoparticles were successfully prepared by means of a hard-templating method and further modified with poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) via radical polymerization. Structural analysis, surface spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric characterization confirmed a successful surface modification of HMS nanoparticles. A hairy PSS was clearly visualized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy measurement, and it is grown on the surface of HMS nanoparticles.
