In the context of growing use of nanoparticles, it is important to be able to characterize all their physical properties in order to understand their behavior, to optimize them, and to control their quality. We showed that ultrasonic spectroscopy provides many of the desired properties. To do so, we used as an example nanocapsules made of a polymer shell encaspulating a liquid perfluorocarbon core and designed them for theranostic applications. Frequency-dependent measurements of both ultrasound velocity and attenuation were performed on nanocapsule suspensions. Then the desired properties were extracted by analyzing the experimental data using a recently developed model that relates the speed of sound and attenuation of a suspension to the geometrical and viscoelastic properties of the nanocapsules.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
