Résumé

We show that the rod-shaped Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) can be coated with the wide band gap semiconductor zinc oxide by electroless deposition under mild reaction conditions. The process involves pretreatment with aqueous Pd(II), followed by nucleation of ZnO, directed to palladium centers formed on the surface of TMV. The mechanism is based on the local pH change due to the reduction of nitrate by dimethylamine borane at the palladium. Morphology and chemical composition have been analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by energy filtering TEM, respectively. The optical properties were elucidated by cathodoluminescence, which showed the desired near-band edge emission. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Electroless nickel-phosphorus plating

Electroless nickel-phosphorus plating, also referred to as E-nickel, is a chemical process that deposits an even layer of nickel-phosphorus alloy on the surface of a solid substrate, like metal or plastic. The process involves dipping the substrate in a water solution containing nickel salt and a phosphorus-containing reducing agent, usually a hypophosphite salt. It is the most common version of electroless nickel plating (EN plating) and is often referred by that name.

Virus

Un virus est un agent infectieux nécessitant un hôte, souvent une cellule, dont les constituants et le métabolisme déclenchent la réplication. Le nom virus a été emprunté au par Ambroise Paré au latin . La science des virus est la virologie, et ses experts sont des virologues ou virologistes. On considère de plus en plus les virus comme faisant partie des acaryotes. Ils changent de forme durant leur cycle, passant par deux stades : Une phase extracellulaire sous forme de particule virale.

Phytovirus

vignette|Attaque du virus de la mosaïque jaune du navet sur chou. vignette|Symptômes du virus de la marbrure légère du piment sur poivrons. Un phytovirus, ou virus de plantes, est un virus s'attaquant aux organismes végétaux. Ces virus ont la particularité de pénétrer la cellule végétale de leur hôte afin de détourner à leur profit les mécanismes de la cellule et leur permettre de se reproduire. Cette multiplication virale finit par provoquer une modification métabolique ou la destruction de la cellule.
