  • Silica coating on nanoparticles
    Patent number: 10052604
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for synthesizing a SiO2-coated nanoparticle, the method comprising the step of reacting a hydroxyl-functionalized silane with a nanoparticle in a substantially aqueous phase under conditions to induce silanization of the nanoparticle. The method enables silanization of the nanoparticle in aqueous phase that is substantially free of organic solvents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 21, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 21, 2018
    Assignee: Agency for Science, Technology and Research
    Inventors: Thammanoon Sreethawong, Kwok Wei Shah, Shuhua Liu, Shuang-Yuan Zhang, Suo Hon Lim, Kian Seng Ang, Li Sirh Tan, Ming-Yong Han

  • DETECTION METHOD AND SENSOR BASED ON INTERPARTICLE DISTANCE
    Publication number: 20120288949
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the presence or amount of a compound in a sample by interparticle distance-dependent sensing, comprising: (a) contacting the sample suspected of containing the compound with rare earth doped metal oxide nanoparticles; and (b) detecting the compound by determining the change in luminescent properties of the rare earth doped metal oxide nanoparticles upon contact with the sample.
