With the objective of developing a magnetic nanoparticle based sensor, we have synthesized cobalt-substituted ferrite particles using reverse micelles. Reverse micelles have been used to control the nanoparticle size. ...

Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) wastewater emanating from semiconductor processing contains copper (II) ions and either alumina and/or silica nanoparticles. The efficiency of biotreatment schemes to remove copper ...

Reverse micelles prepared in the system water, sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfoccinate (AOT), and isooctane were investigated as a templating system for the production of gold nanoparticles from the reduction of Au (III) ...
