Following on from a very successful Nanoparticles 2009
conference that was organized jointly by the Royal Society of
Chemistry Colloid and Interface Science Group and the Society
of Chemical Industry Colloid and Surface Chemistry Group, this
Theme issue comprises a selection of the papers presented at
the conference. Although it is difficult to capture the dynamic
and fast-growing field of nanoparticles and their applications in a
small theme issue, the compiled articles cover the entire breadth
of the subject area, including review and primary research
papers.
The issue includes articles on the synthesis of cobalt sulphide
nanostructures, CoCuPt hollow and Ag@Au core-shell
nanoparticles as well as thin films at water-oil interfaces.
Colloidal templates for copolymer micelles and porous silica are
also covered and more exotic synthetic methods include highthroughput hydrothermal flow synthesis of Zn-Ce oxides.
The issue also covers sensing magnetic nanoparticles with a tunneling magnetoresistance
sensor, as well as applications of La1-xSrxMnO3 nanoparticles for magnetic fluid hyperthermia.
Many of the articles include detailed characterization of nanoparticles in order to better
understand structure-function relationships; a fine example of which includes investigations of
magnetic properties of nanoparticles owing to size and surface effect. Finally, the issue also
examines useful nanoparticle characterization techniques such as magnetic field-flow
fractionation and light scattering.
