Dense spherical assemblies of BaCrO4 nanocrystallites of very uniform size (similar to50 nm) were obtained within the two different host matrices. The spherical assemblies were composed of smaller (ca. 5-10 nm size) BaCrO4 crystals indicating that efficient size control over crystal size may be exercised by the matrix. Contact angle measurements of the BaCrO4-StA and BaCrO4-sodium bis-2-ethylhexyl-sulfosuccinate films indicated that they were hydrophobic, thus pointing to the possible role of hydrophobic interaction between the StA and sodium bis-2-ethylhexyl-sulfosuccinate monolayer-covered BaCrO4 crystals in the assembly process.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13.038</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bansal, Vipul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rautaray, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bharde, Atul A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahire, Kedar C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanyal, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahmad, Absar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sastry, Murali</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fungus-mediated biosynthesis of silica and titania particles</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Materials Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAY</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2583-2589</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The synthesis of inorganic materials by biological systems is characterized by processes that occur at close to ambient temperatures, pressures and neutral pH. This is exemplified by biosilicification in marine organisms such as diatoms while laboratory-based synthesis of silica involves extreme temperature and pH conditions. We show here that silica and titania particles may be produced by challenging the fungus Fusarium oxysporum with aqueous anionic complexes SiF62- and TiF62- respectively. Extra-cellular protein-mediated hydrolysis of the anionic complexes results in the facile room temperature synthesis of crystalline titania particles while calcination at 300 degrees C is required for crystallization of silica.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8.262</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
