Popis: | Inspired from some time-honored recipes, we modified the current classical nanoengineering processes to explore some new features. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) was selected here as the model system. Inspired from the distilling technology of white spirits (Er Guo Tou), the size and properties of the obtained Ag NPs could be adjusted effectively without any additional agent. Moreover, according to the characteristic of a flowers jelly, polyethylene glycol encapsulated Ag was synthesized, which exhibited longer storage, lower skin toxicity, and unique touch triggered releasing features. Its relative applications on virtual reality (VR) glasses were also demonstrated with the aid of a 3D printing constructed paintbrush. The proposed strategy has a certain universality, which can also be applied to other kinds of nanomaterials. This study not only explored a novel nanoengineering conception but also solved some common problems in the current nanomaterials, such as poor dispersion, easy agglo... |
