Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles have emerged as efficient materials for a wide range of applications. These nanoparticles consist of a metallic silver core enveloped by a silica shell, offering unique properties that stem from the synergistic combination between these two components. The synthesis of Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles typically involves a mul

Polymer nanocomposites manifest a groundbreaking class of materials synthesized by incorporating nanomaterials into a polymer matrix. This strategic dispersion of nanoparticles, including ceramics, at the nanoscale drastically enhances the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of the substrate polymer. The resulting nanocomposites display a s
