TL;DR: In this paper, various possibilities are discussed how nanoparticles can be protected by organic ligands and how these ligands can be used to introduce functionalities, such as grafting of an already functionalized ligand on the nanoparticle surface, exchanging part or all existing ligands on the particle surface, or grafting a ligand in a nanoparticle followed by modification by organic chemical reactions.

TL;DR: Bacterial cellulose produced by the gram-negative bacterium Gluconacetobacter xylinum was found to be an excellent native starting material for preparing shaped ultra-lightweight cellulose aerogels.

TL;DR: In the parallel dramatic development of both nanoparticles and ionic liquids for materials chemistry, remarkable synergy was observed when combining nanoparticles with one type of ionic liquid, namely imidazolium moieties as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results reveal that all aerogels obtained from 3% cellulose containing NMMOOH 2 O melts had a largely uniform mesoporousstructure with an average pore size of ;9-12 nm, sur-face area of 190-310 m 2 g -1, but rather low mechanical stabilityexpressed as compressive yield strain of 2.9-5.5%.

TL;DR: In this paper, tetrafluoroborate anion led to monolith ionogels by a simple hydrolytic method, affording highly condensed mesoporous silicas with some fluorinated surface sites.
