Abstract:
A ceramic composite thin film or layer includes individual graphene oxide and/or electrically conductive graphene sheets dispersed in a ceramic (e.g. silica) matrix. The thin film or layer can be electrically conductive film or layer depending the amount of graphene sheets present. The composite films or layers are transparent, chemically inert and compatible with both glass and hydrophilic SiOx/silicon substrates. The composite film or layer can be produced by making a suspension of graphene oxide sheet fragments, introducing a silica-precursor or silica to the suspension to form a sol, depositing the sol on a substrate as thin film or layer, at least partially reducing the graphene oxide sheets to conductive graphene sheets, and thermally consolidating the thin film or layer to form a silica matrix in which the graphene oxide and/or graphene sheets are dispersed.

Abstract:
The invention provides a method of preparing nanoparticles having at least one polymer shell attached to them, each polymer shell having a selected property or properties. The method comprises attaching initiation monomers to the surfaces of the nanoparticles, contacting the nanoparticles having the initiation monomers attached to them with a transition metal ring-opening metathesis catalyst to activate the initiation monomers, and contacting the nanoparticles with one or more types of propagation monomers of the formula P—L—N under conditions effective so that the monomers are polymerized to form the one or more polymer shells. In the formula P—L—N, N is a cyclic olefin-containing group, P is a moiety which gives each polymer shell a selected property or properties, and L is a bond or linker. The invention also provides polymers formed by polymerizing the propagation monomers. The invention further provides the nanoparticles, the initiation monomers, and propagation monomers of formula P—L—N wherein P is a moiety having a property selected from the group consisting of redox activity, optical activity, electrical activity and magnetic activity, and L and N are defined above. The invention also provides binding monomers of formula B—L—N, wherein B is a binding moiety that binds specifically to an analyte, and N and L are defined above. Finally, the invention provides methods and kits for detecting or quantitating an analyte.
