POSS-bound ZnO nanowires as interphase for enhancing interfacial strength and hydrothermal aging resistance of PBO fiber/epoxy resin composites
TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical reinforcement was fabricated by growing ZnO nanowires (NWs) onto poly( p -phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers using a mild hydrothermal method, which served as a platform for the polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) grafting, using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) as a bridging agent.

Preferential Growth of Long ZnO Nanowire Array and Its Application in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
TL;DR: In this article, a liquid phase chemical process for preferential growth of long ZnO nanowires has been developed, which effectively suppresses homogeneous nucleation and prevents formation of ZnOs in the bulk solution while allowing rapid growth of ZNO nanowsires on seeded substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of solvent on the growth of ZnO nanoparticles.
TL;DR: ZnO nanoparticles are synthesized by precipitation from zinc acetate in a series of n-alkanols from ethanol to 1-hexanol as a function of temperature and the rate constant for coarsening is determined by the solvent viscosity, surface energy, and the bulk solubility of ZnO in the solvent.
