A diamond-based photo-thermionic cathode for future high-temperature concentrating solar cells was designed and fabricated. A specific cathode structure is discussed in terms of band diagram, introduction of defect energy states, and nanotechnology fabrication methods to increase the capability of solar radiation absorption and transformation into useful electric charge carriers.

One of the key points for the successful development of nanocomposites is to obtain a good dispersion of the nanofillers in the polymer matrix. However, because of complex polymer-polymer and polymer-nanostructure interactions, the estimation of the dispersion is far from trivial. Dynamic rheological functions are mostly used to estimate the quality of dispersion. However, these rheological functions are sensitive to complex molecular architectures such as branching; thus, the accuracy of these rheological functions is limited for nanocomposites obtained using polymer matrices with these molecular architectures. Therefore, an estimation of the dispersion using other approaches needs to be explored. In this work, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are firstly dispersed in a polyamide matrix by a low-frequency ultrasound-assisted extrusion process (kHz range). Then, high-frequency ultrasound wave propagation (MHz range) is used to estimate the dispersion of CNTs in polyamide matrices with different branching architectures. The quality of dispersion observed through the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient of the material matches with optical microscopy studies, in contrast with results obtained using dynamic rheological functions. Dynamic mechanical deformation induced by high-frequency ultrasound seems to be less sensitive to branching architectures, thus giving a better estimation of the quality of dispersion.

The potential improvement of physical and mechanical properties in nanostructured composites can be fully exploited by proper distribution of the nanofillers in the polymer matrix, which strongly affects both their final properties and processability. A nanofilled thermosetting polymer can be used as a matrix for continuous fibers when the alignment of a high aspect ratio nanofiller is achieved: in this case a hierarchical composite is obtained. In this work a new processing technology for the production of hierarchical polymer based composites is proposed. First, the alignment of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) in thermoplastic fibers of amorphous polyetylene terephthalate (PETg) is achieved by a fiber spinning process. The obtained nanocomposite fibers with a very high filler content (10 wt%) are then transferred into a reactive epoxy resin. After dissolution of PETg, the nanofillers remained oriented in the thermosetting matrix. The characterization of the obtained nanocomposites has been carried by means of different experimental techniques which provided complementary results.

We investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) GaAs-AlGaAs core-shell nanowires (NWs) grown by Au-catalyzed metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy under As-rich vapor conditions. The structural analysis reveals that the NWs exhibit zincblende phase only and a very low density of twin defects along the NW trunk; a higher amount of twins around the NW axial (growth) direction occur instead within a tapered region closeby the NW tip. We correlate this finding to the Al-rich composition of the tapered region, as deduced by scanning-TEM (STEM) mass contrast analysis, this region being the effect of residual Au-assisted self-assembly of the material during shell overgrowth. In addition a few percent of NWs show branching during their growth, and we determine the crystal properties and defects of branched NWs. We propose that this phenomenon may be induced by Au nanoparticle instabilities during NW growth and further demonstrate that twin defects occur at the NW branching points.

The development of innovative nanosystems paves the way to multidisciplinary applications at the frontier between materials science and nanomedicine. In this work we present a novel hybrid nanosystem based on cytocompatible inorganic SiC/SiOx core/shell nanowires conjugated via click-chemistry procedures with an organic photosensitizer belonging to the class of porphyrins. We show that the bare nanowires do not elicit either midterm (72 h) or long-term (10 days) cytotoxic activity leading to irreversible cellular damages or death. The hybrid nanosystem upon irradiation with 6 MV X-Rays at low doses (0.4-2 Gy) is able to generate singlet oxygen, acting therefore as an effective agent for X-Ray-excited photodynamic therapy exploitable to treat deep-seated tumors. In-vitro tests on lung adenocarcinoma cells show that the nanosystem enhances the effects of radiation therapy. As evaluated by clonogenic survival assay 12 days after irradiation at a dose of 2 Gy, the cell population is reduced with respect to control cells by about 75%.

The cancer diagnosis relies on morphological examination of human cells or tissue samples: this is considered the ‘gold standard’ for the diagnosis of malignancy in any organ system. However, diagnosis based on morphological examination can be difficult, recent studies recognized the cell elasticity changes as a marker for cancer detection. A metrological characterized AFM can be used to make reproducible elasticity measurements on biological samples. In this paper a method to accurately measure a cell elasticity change based on measurement of a stable and homogeneous material is proposed. Nanoindenter characteristics (nanoindenter with pyramidal tip and triangular shape) and indentation parameters (0.1 V as approaching point, 5 um/s as indentation speed and indentation load of 0.4 V) were found feasible for all tested samples. A modal cell elastic modulus of 0.5 kPa for lung tumor cell and a limit AFM measurement reproducibility of 4% was obtained.

In this work, all-silicon, integrated optofluidic platforms, fabricated by electrochemical micromachining technology, making use of vertical, one-dimensional high-aspect-ratio photonic crystals for flow-through (bio)sensing applications are reviewed. The potential of such platforms for point-of-care applications is discussed for both pressure-driven and capillarity-driven operations with reference to refractometry and biochemical sensing.

Coatings consisting of calcium alginate hydrogel embedding silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), recently developed as a antimicrobial active packaging for fiordilatte cheeses, were studied. The coatings were chemically characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Also, silver release was measured through ICP-MS analyses. Results shows that silver ions are released both in brine and in fiordilatte cheese, confirming the antimicrobial activity of coatings. These preliminary results represent a step forward in the application of silver in food packaging industry. Obtained data are under evaluation.

Food quality and safety are key issues when dealing with materials for food packaging applications. Polylactic acid (PLA) is widely used in food packaging, since it is considered safe for contact with food and it is flexible and optically highly transparent. Further improvements can be achieved through functionalization of the PLA surface with suitable materials. For example, coatings based on zinc oxide (ZnO) have been reported to show significant antimicrobial effects. With this aim, PLA films were extruded starting from commercial pellets and then functionalized by thin coatings made of nanostructured aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO). A set of AZO coatings was deposited at different sputtering power, and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) inspection. X-ray diffraction was used to evaluate the structural properties of the AZO coatings. Optical transmission measurements revealed high transparency of the AZO-coated PLA films, with transmittance values around 80-90% in the visible range. Preliminary release tests were conducted by putting the coated films in contact with a fixed volume of a physiological saline solution and the amount of released AZO particles was evaluated by spectrophotometric measurements.

This review article is focused on the coupling of conjugated polymers, as polyaniline and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), with nanodiamond particles. The peculiar features of nanodiamond not only help in improving the mechanical and thermal properties of the host polymer matrix, but also act on the polymerization mechanisms, inducing a log-range structural order of the polymer chains.
