Graphical abstractWe demonstrate that addition of molecular chaperone PFD inhibits salt-induced aggregation of Au NPs. The interaction between PFD and Au NPs is Au-size dependent. It is revealed that disaggregating effect takes place by the PFD molecules surrounding the Au NP particles, thus preventing their interaction and subsequent aggregation.  | | | 19. | Realization of superhard nanocomposites with sufficient toughness: Superlattice nanocrystal-TiN/amorphous-(W,Ti)C0.83 films Original Research Article Thin Solid Films, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 21 October 2010 Shihong Zhang, Eungsun Byon, Mingxi Li, Yizhu He, Fei Cai, Lei Wang, Huisheng Li, Songhua Si | | | 24. | Novel insight into the alignment and structural ordering of supported ZnO nanorods Original Research Article Chemical Physics Letters, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 20 October 2010 Davide Barreca, Daniela Bekermann, Anjana Devi, Roland A.
