Graphical abstractThe electronic properties of pure and Al–doped silica nanotubes are investigated by using density functional theory. The figure shows that the isosurfaces of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the silica nanotubes are changed significantly due to doping with Al atoms.  | | | 8. | One-pot hydrothermal synthesis of silver nanowires via citrate reduction Original Research Article Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 1 September 2010 Zhiqiang Yang, Haijun Qian, Hongyu Chen, Jeffrey N. Anker
Graphical abstractA novel and simple hydrothermal method was established to synthesize Ag nanowires using only silver nitrate and sodium citrate without any external seeds or templates. The effects of the molar ratio of silver ions to citrate, the pH value, and the reaction temperature were investigated.  | | | 9. | Structural and optical properties of nanodots, nanowires and multi quantum wells of III-nitride Grown by MOVPE nano selective area growth Original Research Article Journal of Crystal Growth, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 1 September 2010 W.H.

Graphical abstractThe sensitizing behavior of pyrene fluorescence in the presence of β-cyclodextrin-modified TiO2 nanoparticle occurs from the charge transfer between pyrene and metal oxide nanoparticle through the β-cyclodextrin-pyrene inclusion complex on nanoparticle.  | | | 20. | Clogging of microchannels by nanoparticles due to heterocoagulation in elongational flow Original Research Article Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 31 August 2010 K. Georgieva, D.J. Dijkstra, H. Fricke, N. Willenbacher
Graphical abstractSmall fraction of micrometer-sized particles (100-1000 ppm) induces heterocoagulation in concentrated colloidal dispersions, when such dispersions are exposed to converging flow fields, e.g. during classical processing operations (e.g. filtration or pumping) or in microfluidic devices.  | | | 21. | Study of magnetic nanovectors by Wet-STEM, a new ESEM mode in transmission Original Research Article Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 31 August 2010 V A Maraloiu, M.
